A Song{H7892} of degrees{H4609}. LORD{H3068}, remember{H2142}{(H8798)} David{H1732}, and all his afflictions{H6031}{(H8793)}:

How he sware{H7650}{(H8738)} unto the LORD{H3068}, and vowed{H5087}{(H8804)} unto the mighty{H46} God of Jacob{H3290};

Surely I will not come{H935}{(H8799)} into the tabernacle{H168} of my house{H1004}, nor go up{H5927}{(H8799)} into my bed{H6210}{H3326};

I will not give{H5414}{(H8799)} sleep{H8153} to mine eyes{H5869}, or slumber{H8572} to mine eyelids{H6079},

Until I find out{H4672}{(H8799)} a place{H4725} for the LORD{H3068}, an habitation{H4908} for the mighty{H46} God of Jacob{H3290}.

Lo, we heard{H8085}{(H8804)} of it at Ephratah{H672}: we found{H4672}{(H8804)} it in the fields{H7704} of the wood{H3293}.

We will go{H935}{(H8799)} into his tabernacles{H4908}: we will worship{H7812}{(H8691)} at his footstool{H1916}{H7272}.

Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}, into thy rest{H4496}; thou, and the ark{H727} of thy strength{H5797}.

Let thy priests{H3548} be clothed{H3847}{(H8799)} with righteousness{H6664}; and let thy saints{H2623} shout for joy{H7442}{(H8762)}.

For thy servant{H5650} David's{H1732} sake turn not away{H7725}{(H8686)} the face{H6440} of thine anointed{H4899}.

The LORD{H3068} hath sworn{H7650}{(H8738)} in truth{H571} unto David{H1732}; he will not turn{H7725}{(H8799)} from it; Of the fruit{H6529} of thy body{H990} will I set{H7896}{(H8799)} upon thy throne{H3678}.

If thy children{H1121} will keep{H8104}{(H8799)} my covenant{H1285} and my testimony{H5713} that{H2090}{(H8675)}{H2097} I shall teach{H3925}{(H8762)} them, their children{H1121} shall also sit{H3427}{(H8799)} upon thy throne{H3678} for evermore{H5703}.

For the LORD{H3068} hath chosen{H977}{(H8804)} Zion{H6726}; he hath desired{H183}{(H8765)} it for his habitation{H4186}.

This is my rest{H4496} for ever{H5703}: here will I dwell{H3427}{(H8799)}; for I have desired{H183}{(H8765)} it.

I will abundantly{H1288}{(H8763)} bless{H1288}{(H8762)} her provision{H6718}: I will satisfy{H7646}{(H8686)} her poor{H34} with bread{H3899}.

I will also clothe{H3847}{(H8686)} her priests{H3548} with salvation{H3468}: and her saints{H2623} shall shout aloud{H7442}{(H8762)} for joy{H7444}{(H8763)}.

There will I make{H6779} the horn{H7161} of David{H1732} to bud{H6779}{(H8686)}: I have ordained{H6186}{(H8804)} a lamp{H5216} for mine anointed{H4899}.

His enemies{H341}{(H8802)} will I clothe{H3847}{(H8686)} with shame{H1322}: but upon himself shall his crown{H5145} flourish{H6692}{(H8686)}.
