¹A song of the sundial degree markings.

Remember, O Lord, David

– All his affliction suffered.

²It is he who swore to the Lord,

Who vowed to the mighty one of Jacob,

³“I most certainly will not go to the tent

Which is my house,

I most certainly will not go up to the couch

Which is my bed;

⁴I most certainly will not give my eyes sleep

Or my eyelids slumber

⁵Until I find a place for the Lord

– A site for the mighty one of Jacob.”

⁶Behold, we heard it in Ephrathah;

We found it in the woodland countryside.

⁷Let us go to his temple site;

Let us worship at his footstool.

⁸Arise, O Lord, to your resting place,

You and your strong ark.

⁹Your priests will be clothed in righteousness,

And those under your grace will shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of David your servant,

Do not turn the face of your anointed away.

¹¹The Lord has sworn to David in truth;

He will not go back on it,

“From the fruit of your loins

I will appoint your throne.

¹²If your sons keep my covenant

And this testimony of mine which I am teaching them,

Then their sons will also sit on your throne

In all perpetuity.”

¹³For the Lord has chosen Zion;

He has longed for it as a dwelling place for himself.

¹⁴“This is my resting place in all perpetuity;

I will dwell here,

For I have longed for it.

¹⁵I will certainly bless its food supply;

I will satiate its poor with bread.

¹⁶And I will clothe its priests in salvation,

And those in it under grace will certainly shout for joy.

¹⁷I will make the horn of David spring up there;

I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies in shame,

But on him a diadem will glitter.”
