English Revised Version Remember David and All his Affliction 1A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember for David all his affliction; 2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: 3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids; 5Until I find out a place for the LORD, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. 6Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: we found it in the field of the wood. 7We will go into his tabernacles; we will worship at his footstool. 8Arise, O LORD, into thy resting place; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 10For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 11The LORD hath sworn unto David in truth; he will not turn from it: of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. 13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 14This is my resting place for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16Her priests also will I clothe with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
