Prayer for the Loʀᴅ’s Blessing upon the Sanctuary.
A Song of Ascents.
1 Remember, O Loʀᴅ, on David’s behalf,
All AGen 49:24; 2 Sam 16:12his affliction;
2 How he swore to the Loʀᴅ
And vowed to AGen 49:24; Is 49:26; 60:16the Mighty One of Jacob,
Nor 2Lit go up into the couch oflie on my bed;
4 I will not AProv 6:4give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I find a A1 Kin 8:17; 1 Chr 22:7; Ps 26:8; Acts 7:46place for the Loʀᴅ,
1Lit Dwelling placesA dwelling place for BPs 132:2the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in AGen 35:19; 1 Sam 17:12Ephrathah,
We found it in the B1 Sam 7:1field of 1Or the woodJaar.
Let us BPs 5:7; 99:5worship at His C1 Chr 28:2footstool.
You and the ark of Your CPs 78:61strength.
9 Let Your priests be AJob 29:14clothed with righteousness,
And let Your BPs 30:4; 132:16; 149:5godly ones sing for joy.
10 For the sake of David Your servant,
Do not turn away the face of Your APs 2:2; 132:17anointed.
11 The Loʀᴅ has APs 89:3, 35sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“B2 Sam 7:12-16; 1 Chr 17:11-14; 2 Chr 6:16; Ps 89:4; Acts 2:30Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
12 “If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also shall ALuke 1:32; Acts 2:30sit upon your throne forever.”
13 For the Loʀᴅ has APs 48:1, 2; 78:68chosen Zion;
He has BPs 68:16desired it for His habitation.
14 “This is My APs 132:8resting place forever;
Here I will BPs 68:16; Matt 23:21dwell, for I have desired it.
15 “I will abundantly APs 147:14bless her provision;
I will BPs 107:9satisfy her needy with bread.
16 “Her A2 Chr 6:41; Ps 132:9priests also I will clothe with salvation,
And her A2 Chr 6:41; Ps 132:9godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
17 “There I will cause the AEzek 29:21; Luke 1:69horn of David to spring forth;
I have prepared a B1 Kin 11:36; 15:4; 2 Kin 8:19; 2 Chr 21:7; Ps 18:28lamp for Mine anointed.
18 “His enemies I will AJob 8:22; Ps 35:26; 109:29clothe with shame,
But upon himself his BPs 21:3crown shall shine.”
