1 - A gradual canticle. O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.

2 - How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

3 - If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

4 - If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

5 - Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6 - Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

7 - We will go into his tabernacle: we will adore in the place where his feet stood.

8 - Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

9 - Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

10 - For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

11 - The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

12 - If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

13 - For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

14 - This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.

15 - Blessing I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 - I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

17 - There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

18 - His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him shall my sanctification flourish.
