Psalm
R. God will give him the throne of David, his father.
O Lord, remember in David’s favour all the hardships he endured; how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob. R.
I will not enter my house or get into my bed; I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob. R.
The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.” R.
“If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I shall teach them, their sons also, forevermore, shall sit on your throne.” R.
For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation: “This is my resting place forever; here I will reside, for I have desired it.” R.
