O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.
|
2
|
How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:
|
3
|
If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:
|
4
|
If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
|
5
|
Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
|
6
|
Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.
|
7
|
We will go into his tabernacle: we will adore in the place where his feet stood.
|
8
|
Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.
|
9
|
Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.
|
10
|
For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.
|
11
|
The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.
|
12
|
If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.
|
13
|
For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.
|
14
|
This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
|
15
|
Blessing I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
|
16
|
I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.
|
17
|
There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
|
18
|
His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him shall my sanctification flourish.
