¹ (A song for worship.) Our LORD, don't forget David and how he suffered. ² Mighty God of Jacob, remember how he promised: ³ "I won't go home or crawl into bed ⁴ or close my eyelids, ⁵ until I find a home for you, the mighty LORD God of Jacob." ⁶ When we were in Ephrath, we heard that the sacred chest was somewhere near Jaar. ⁷ Then we said, "Let's go to the throne of the LORD and worship at his feet." ⁸ Come to your new home, LORD, you and the sacred chest with all of its power. ⁹ Let victory be like robes for the priests; let your faithful people celebrate and shout. ¹⁰ David is your chosen one, so don't reject him. ¹¹ You made a solemn promise to David, when you said, "I, the LORD, promise that someone in your family will always be king. ¹² If they keep our agreement and follow my teachings, then someone in your family will rule forever." ¹³ You have gladly chosen Zion as your home, our LORD. ¹⁴ You said, "This is my home! I will live here forever. ¹⁵ I will bless Zion with food, and even the poor will eat until they are full. ¹⁶ Victory will be like robes for the priests, and its faithful people will celebrate and shout. ¹⁷ I will give mighty power to the kingdom of David. Each one of my chosen kings will shine like a lamp ¹⁸ and wear a sparkling crown. But I will disgrace their enemies."
