1 Lord, remember David and all of the hard times he went through.
2 Lord, he took an oath. Mighty One of Jacob, he made a promise to you.
3 He said, "I won't enter my house or go to bed.
4 I won't let my eyes sleep. I won't close my eyelids
5 until I find a place for the Lord. I want to build a house for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6 Here are the words we heard in Ephrathah. We heard them again in the fields of Kiriath Jearim.
