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.
