1	A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, all his afflictions:
			2	How he sware unto the LORD, vowed unto the mighty of Jacob;
			3	Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
			4	I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,
			5	Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty of Jacob.
			6	Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
			7	We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
			8	Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
			9	Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
			10	For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
			11	The LORD hath sworn truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
			12	If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
			13	For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired for his habitation.
			14	This my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
			15	I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
			16	I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
			17	There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
			18	His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
