LORD, remember David and all that he suffered. |
2
|
He made a solemn promise to the LORD. He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel, |
3
|
"I will not go home; I will not let myself rest. |
4
|
I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber |
5
|
until I find a place to build a house for the LORD, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel." |
6
|
We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar. |
7
|
Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD; let us worship at the footstool of his throne. |
8
|
Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. |
9
|
May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy. |
10
|
For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you have anointed. |
11
|
The LORD swore an oath to David with a promise he will never take back: "I will place one of your descendants on your throne. |
12
|
If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and the laws that I teach them, then your royal line will continue forever and ever." |
13
|
For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem; he has desired it for his home. |
14
|
"This is my resting place forever," he said. "I will live here, for this is the home I desired. |
15
|
I will bless this city and make it prosperous; I will satisfy its poor with food. |
16
|
I will clothe its priests with godliness; its faithful servants will sing for joy. |
17
|
Here I will increase the power of David; my anointed one will be a light for my people. |
18
|
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but he will be a glorious king." A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. |
