A Song of Ascents. Lord, remember David And all his afflictions;
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;
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."
6
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods.
7
Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool.
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.
