1 The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion A Song of Ascents. Lord , remember David And all his afflictions;
2 How he swore to the Lord , (Ps. 130:7) And vowed to Ps. 65:1 the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4 I will Gen. 49:24; Is. 49:26; 60:16 not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I Prov. 6:4 find a place for the Lord , A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it 1 Kin. 8:17;1 Chr. 22:7; Ps. 26:8; Acts 7:46 in Ephrathah; 1 Sam. 17:12 We found it 1 Sam. 7:1 in the fields of the woods.
7 Let us go into His tabernacle; 1 Chr. 13:5 Let us worship at His footstool.
8 Ps. 5:7; 99:5 Arise, O Lord , to Your resting place, You and Num. 10:35 the ark of Your strength.
9 Let Your priests Ps. 78:61 be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy.
10 For Your servant David’s sake, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.
11 Job 29:14 The Lord has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: “I will set upon your throne (Ps. 89:3, 4, 33; 110:4) the fruit of your body.
12 If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
13 2 Sam. 7:12; (1 Kin. 8:25;2 Chr. 6:16; Luke 1:69; Acts 2:30) For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14 “This (Ps. 48:1, 2) is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 Ps. 68:16; Matt. 23:21 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Ps. 147:14 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, 2 Chr. 6:41; Ps. 132:9; 149:4 And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 1 Sam. 4:5; Hos. 11:12 There I will make the horn of David grow; Ezek. 29:21; Luke 1:69 I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
18 His enemies I will 1 Kin. 11:36; 15:4;2 Kin. 8:19;2 Chr. 21:7; Ps. 18:28 clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
