| Prayer for Jehovah’s Blessing Upon the Sanctuary |
| A Song of Ascents. |
| [1] | JEHOVAH, remember for David All his affliction; |
| [2] | How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| [3] | Surely I will not come into the tabernacle 1 of my house, Nor go up into my 2 bed; |
| [4] | I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids; |
| [5] | Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A 3 tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. |
| [6] | Lo, we heard of it Ephrathah: 4 We found it in the field of the 5 wood. |
| [7] | We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool. |
| [8] | Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting place; 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] | Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; 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 also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. |
| [13] | For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. |
| [14] | This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it. |
| [15] | I will abundantly 6 bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
| [16] | Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
| [17] | There will I make the 7 horn of David to bud: I have ordained 8 a lamp for mine anointed. |
| [18] | His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish. |
