1O Lord, remember in Davids favor all the hardships he endured;
2how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3I will not enter my house or get into my bed;
4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6We heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool.
8Rise up, O Lord, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your faithful shout for joy.
10For your servant Davids sake do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
11The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.
12If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I shall teach them, their sons also, forevermore, shall sit on your throne.
13For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation:
14This is my resting place forever; here I will reside, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly bless its provisions; I will satisfy its poor with bread.
16Its priests I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.
17There I will cause a horn to sprout up for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.
18His enemies I will clothe with disgrace, but on him, his crown will gleam.
1I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad.
3O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed.
6This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord, and was saved from every trouble.
7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him.
9O fear the Lord, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have no want.
10The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12Which of you desires life, and covets many days to enjoy good?
13Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.
16The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles.
18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all.
20He keeps all their bones; not one of them will be broken.
21Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
