Prayer for the LORD'S Blessing upon the Sanctuary.
A Song of Ascents.
1 Remember, O LORD, on David's behalf,
All his R4195 affliction;
2 How he swore to the LORD
And vowed to the R4196 Mighty One of Jacob,
3 "Surely I will not enter F1423 my R4197 house,
Nor lie F1424 on my bed;
4 I will not give R4198 sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I find a place R4199 for the LORD,
A F1425 dwelling place for the R4200 Mighty One of Jacob."
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, R4201
We found it in the field R4202 of Jaar. F1426
7 Let us go into His dwelling R4203 F1427 place;
Let us worship R4204 at His footstool. R4205
8 Arise, R4206 O LORD, to Your resting R4207 place,
You and the ark of Your strength. R4208
9 Let Your priests be clothed R4209 with righteousness,
And let Your godly R4210 ones sing for joy.
10 For the sake of David Your servant,
Do not turn away the face of Your anointed. R4211
11 The LORD has sworn R4212 to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
"Of R4213 the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
12 "If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also shall sit R4214 upon your throne forever."
13 For the LORD has chosen R4215 Zion;
He has desired R4216 it for His habitation.
14 "This is My resting R4217 place forever;
Here I will dwell, R4218 for I have desired it.
15 "I will abundantly bless R4219 her provision;
I will satisfy R4220 her needy with bread.
16 "Her priests R4221 also I will clothe with salvation,
And her godly R4221 ones will sing aloud for joy.
17 "There I will cause the horn R4222 of David to spring forth;
I have prepared a lamp R4223 for Mine anointed.
18 "His enemies I will clothe R4224 with shame,
But upon himself his crown R4225 shall shine."
