God’s Word
For Everyday Life

LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

how he swore to the LORD,

“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,

I will not give sleep to my eyes,

until I find out a place for the LORD,

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah.

“We will go into his dwelling place.

Arise, LORD, into your resting place,

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness.

For your servant David’s sake,

The LORD has sworn to David in truth.

If your children will keep my covenant,

For the LORD has chosen Zion.

“This is my resting place forever.

I will abundantly bless her provision.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation.

I will make the horn of David to bud there.

I will clothe his enemies with shame,
