1 Lord, remember for David ♦︎
all the hardships he endured;
2 How he swore an oath to the Lord ♦︎
and vowed a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 I will not come within the shelter of my house, ♦︎
nor climb up into my bed;
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, ♦︎
nor let my eyelids slumber,
5 Until I find a place for the Lord, ♦︎
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.
11 The Lord has sworn an oath to David, ♦︎
a promise from which he will not shrink:
12 Of the fruit of your body ♦︎
shall I set upon your throne.
13 If your children keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them, ♦︎
their children also shall sit upon your throne for evermore.
