1. Lord, remember David—all the ways he suffered
2. and how he swore to the Lord,how he promised the strong one of Jacob:
3. "I won’t enter my house,won’t get into my bed.
4. I won’t let my eyes close,won’t let my eyelids sleep,
5. until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the strong one of Jacob."
6. Yes, we heard about it in Ephrathah;we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7. Let’s enter God’s dwelling place;let’s worship at the place God rests his feet!
8. Get up, Lord, go to your residence—you and your powerful covenant chest!
9. Let your priests be dressed in righteousness;let your faithful shout out with joy!
10. And for the sake of your servant David,do not reject your anointed one.
