1. A Song of Ascents. Adonai, remember David, all his afflictions,
2. and how he swore to Adonai, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3. “I will not enter the tent of my house nor lie on my bed,
4. nor will I will give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids,
5. till I find a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6. Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha, we found it in the fields of Joar.
