The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion
A Song of Ascents.
1 Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;
2 How he swore to the
Lord,
aAnd vowed to
bthe Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4 I will
anot give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I
afind a place for the
Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it
ain Ephrathah;
bWe found it
cin the fields of the woods.
7 Let us go into His tabernacle;
aLet us worship at His footstool.
8 aArise, O
Lord, to Your resting place,
You and
bthe ark of Your strength.
9 Let Your priests
abe clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
10 For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your
1 Anointed.
