1. A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David and all his afflictions;
2. How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the mighty God of Jacob;
3. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
5. Until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7. We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
