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