1. Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor,all the hardships he endured,
2. how he swore to the Lordand vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3. “I will not enter my houseor get into my bed,
4. I will not give sleep to my eyesor slumber to my eyelids,
5. until I find a place for the Lord,a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;we found it in the fields of Jaar.
