1 Lord, remember for David ♦︎
all the hardships he endured;
2 How he swore an oath to the Lord ♦︎
and vowed a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 I will not come within the shelter of my house, ♦︎
nor climb up into my bed;
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, ♦︎
nor let my eyelids slumber,
5 Until I find a place for the Lord, ♦︎
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6 Now, we heard of the ark in Ephrathah ♦︎
and found it in the fields of Ja-ar.
7 Let us enter his dwelling place ♦︎
and fall low before his footstool.
8 Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, ♦︎
you and the ark of your strength.
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness ♦︎
and your faithful ones sing with joy.
