1. Lord, do not forget Davidand all the hardships he endured.
2. Remember, Lord, what he promised,the vow he made to you, the Mighty God of Jacob:
3. “I will not go home or go to bed;
4. I will not rest or sleep,
5. until I provide a place for the Lord,a home for the Mighty God of Jacob.”
6. In Bethlehem we heard about the Covenant Box,and we found it in the fields of Jearim.
7. We said, “Let us go to the Lord's house;let us worship before his throne.”
8. Come to the Temple, Lord, with the Covenant Box,the symbol of your power,and stay here for ever.
9. May your priests do always what is right;may your people shout for joy!
10. You made a promise to your servant David;do not reject your chosen king, Lord.
