1Jehovah, remember David and all his affliction. 2Remember how he swore an oath to Jehovah and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob. 3He said: »I will not step inside my house, 4get into my bed, shut my eyes, or close my eyelids 5until I find a place for Jehovah, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.« 6Now, we have heard about the Ark of the Covenant being in Ephrathah. We found it in Jaar. 7Let us go to his dwelling place. Let us worship at his footstool. 8O Jehovah, arise, and come to your resting place with the ark of your power. 9Clothe your priests with righteousness. Let your godly ones sing with joy. 10For the sake of your servant David do not reject your anointed one. 11Jehovah swore an oath to David: »This is a truth he will not take back: I will set one of your own descendants on your throne. 12»If your sons are faithful to my covenant and my written instructions that I will teach them, then their descendants will also sit on your throne forever.« 13Jehovah has chosen Zion. He wants it for his home. 14This will be my resting place forever. Here I will sit enthroned because I want Zion. 15I will greatly bless all that Zion needs. I will satisfy its needy people with food. 16I will clothe its priests with salvation. Then its godly ones will sing joyfully. 17There I will make the horn of David grow give mighty power to David. I will prepare a lamp light for my anointed one. 18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on my anointed one will shine.
