1  Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor,

all the hardships he endured,

2  ^show he swore to the Lord

and vowed to ^tthe Mighty One of Jacob,

3  “I will not enter my house

or get into my bed,

4  I will ^unot give sleep to my eyes

or slumber to my eyelids,

5  until I find a place for the Lord,

a ^vdwelling place ^wfor the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6  Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;

^xwe found it in the fields of Jaar.

7  “Let us go to his dwelling place;

let us ^yworship at his footstool!”

8  ^zArise, O Lord, and go to your resting place,

you and the ark of your ^amight.

9  Let your priests be ^bclothed with righteousness,

and let your saints shout for joy.

10  For the sake of your servant David,

^cdo not turn away the face of your ^danointed one.

11  The Lord ^eswore to David a sure oath

from which he will not turn back:

“One of the sons of your body¹

I will set on your ^fthrone.

12  If your sons keep my covenant

and my testimonies that I shall teach them,

their sons also forever

shall sit on your throne.”

13  For ^gthe Lord has ^hchosen Zion;

he has desired it for his dwelling place:

14  “This is my resting place forever;

here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

15  I will abundantly bless her provisions;

I will ⁱsatisfy her poor with bread.

16  ^jHer priests I will ^kclothe with salvation,

and her saints will shout for joy.

17  There ^lI will make a horn to sprout for David;

I have prepared a ^mlamp for my anointed.

18  His enemies I will ⁿclothe with shame,

but on him his crown will shine.”

1  ^sThe Lord says to my Lord:

^t“Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2  The Lord sends forth from Zion

your mighty scepter.

^uRule in the midst of your enemies!

3  Your people will offer themselves ^vfreely

on the day of your power,¹

in holy garments;²

from the womb of the morning,

the dew of your youth will be yours.³

4  ^wThe Lord has sworn

and ^xwill not change his mind,

^y“You are a ^zpriest forever

after the order of ^aMelchizedek.”

5  The Lord is ^bat your right hand;

he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6  He will execute ^cjudgment among the nations,

filling them with corpses;

he will ^dshatter chiefs⁴

over the wide earth.

7  He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.
