1. A song of ascents.Remember, O Lord, for Davidall his hardships;
2. How he swore an oath to the Lord,vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3. “I will not enter the house where I live,nor lie on the couch where I sleep;
4. I will give my eyes no sleep,my eyelids no rest,
5. Till I find a place for the Lord,a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6. “We have heard of it in Ephrathah;we have found it in the fields of Jaar.
7. Let us enter his dwelling;let us worship at his footstool.”
8. “Arise, Lord, come to your resting place,you and your mighty ark.
9. Your priests will be clothed with justice;your devout will shout for joy.”
10. For the sake of David your servant,do not reject your anointed.
