A Songof degrees. LORD, rememberDavid, and allhis afflictions: Howhe sworeunto the LORD, and vowedunto the mighty God of Jacob; SurelyI will not comeinto the tabernacleof my house, norgo upintomy bed; I will notgivesleepto mine eyes, or slumberto mine eyelids, UntilI find outa placefor the LORD, a habitationfor the mighty God of Jacob. Lo, we heardof it at Ephratah: we foundit in the fieldsof the wood. We will gointo his tabernacles: we will worshipat his footstool. Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the arkof thy strength. Let thy priestsbe clothedwith righteousness; and let thy saintsshout for joy. For thy servantDavid's saketurn not awaythe faceof thine anointed. The LORDhath sworn in truthunto David; he will notturnfromit; Of the fruitof thy bodywill I setupon thy throne. Ifthy childrenwill keepmy covenantand my testimonythatI shall teachthem, their childrenshall alsositupon thy throneforevermore. Forthe LORDhath chosenZion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my restforever: herewill I dwell; forI have desiredit. I will abundantly blessher provision: I will satisfyher poorwith bread. I will also clotheher priestswith salvation: and her saintsshall shout aloud for joy. Therewill I make the hornof Davidto bud: I have ordaineda lampfor mine anointed. His enemieswill I clothewith shame: but uponhimself shall his crownflourish.
