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.
