The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion

A Song of Ascents.

Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;

1

Remember, O LORD, on David’s behalf,
All his affliction;

2

How he swore to the Lord,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

2

How he swore to the LORD
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

3

“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;

3

“Surely I will not enter my house,
Nor lie on my bed;

4

I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,

4

I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,

5

Until I find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

5

Until I find a place for the LORD,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of [a]the woods.

6

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah,
We found it in the field of Jaar.

7

Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.

7

Let us go into His dwelling place;
Let us worship at His footstool.

8

Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.

8

Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.

9

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.

9

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your godly ones sing for joy.

10

For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your [b]Anointed.

10

For the sake of David Your servant,
Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.

11

The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the [c]fruit of your body.

11

The LORD has sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

12

If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

12

“If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”

13

For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His [d]dwelling place:

13

For the LORD has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His habitation.

14

“This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

14

“This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

15

I will abundantly bless her [e]provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.

15

“I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her needy with bread.

16

I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

16

“Her priests also I will clothe with salvation,
And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.

17

There I will make the [f]horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My [g]Anointed.

17

“There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth;
I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.

18

His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

18

“His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon himself his crown shall shine.”
