A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:


verse #3

“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;


verse #4

I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,


verse #5

until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”


verse #6

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.

If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
