The LORD Reigns (93)

`LORD, re / member David

and `all_ / his affliction,

`how he swore_ / to the LORD,

and `vowed_ to the Mighty / One of Jacob:

`“Surely I will not come into / my~ house,

`nor go up in / to my bed;

`I will not give sleep_ / to my eyes,

or `slumber / to my eyelids,

(Ref)

un `til I find a place_ / for the LORD,

a `dwelling for the Mighty One of / Ja~ cob.”

We `heard_ of the ark in / Ephrathah.

We `found it in the field_ / of~ Jaar.

`“We will go into his / dwelling place.

`We will worship / at his footstool.”

A `rise_, LORD, into your / resting place,

`you_, and the ark_ / of your strength.

`Let your priests be clothed with / righteousness.

`Let your faithful people / shout for joy!

`For your servant / David’s sake,

`do not turn away the face of your a / nointed one.

(Ref)

The `LORD_ swore an / oath to David.

`He will not_ / turn from it:

`“I will set the fruit_ / of your body

`on_ / your~ throne.

`If your children will_ keep my / covenant,

my `testimony that I will_ / teach~ them,

`their_ children / al~ so

`will sit on your throne for / ever more.”

`For the LORD has / chosen Zion.

`He_ has desired it_ for his / dwelling place.

`“This_ is my resting place for / e~ ver.

`I will live here, for I have de / sired~ it.

(Ref)

`I will abundantly bless_ / her provision.

`I will satisfy her / poor with bread.

`I will clothe her priests_ / with salvation.

Her `faithful people will_ shout a / loud for joy.

`I will make the horn of David to_ / bud~ there.

`I_ have prepared a lamp for / my anointed.

`I will clothe his ene / mies with shame,

but `on himself, his / crown will shine.”
