A song of ascents.

The LORD Has Chosen Zion

1Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,+ 2how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:+ 3“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;+ 4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;+ 5until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”+ 6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:+ 7“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.+ 8Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.+ 9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”+ 10For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.+ 11Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.+ 12If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”+ 13For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.+ 14“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.+ 15I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.+ 16Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.+ 17There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.+ 18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”+
