1 O Lord, for David’s sake rememberall his strenuous effort,
2 and how he made a vow to the Lord,and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.
3 He said, “I will not enter my own home,or get into my bed.
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep,or my eyelids to slumber,
5 until I find a place for the Lord,a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob.”
6 Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah,we found it in the territory of Jaar.
7 Let us go to his dwelling place!Let us worship before his footstool!
