| 1 | 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 thy 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 will my sanctification flourish. |
