LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:⇆ compare2How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;⇆ compare3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;⇆ compare4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,⇆ compare5Until I find out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.⇆ compare6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.⇆ compare7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.⇆ compare8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.⇆ compare9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.⇆ compare10For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.⇆ compare11The 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.⇆ compare12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne forevermore.⇆ compare13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.⇆ compare14This is my rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.⇆ compare15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.⇆ compare16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.⇆ compare17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.⇆ compare18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.⇆ compare
