1A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction, ✦ 2how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: ✦ 3“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed; ✦ 4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids; ✦ 5until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ✦ 6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar: ✦ 7“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool. ✦ 8Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength. ✦ 9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!” ✦ 10For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one. ✦ 11Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne. ✦ 12If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.” ✦ 13For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation. ✦ 14“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it. ✦ 15I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread. ✦ 16Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy. ✦ 17There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed. ✦ 18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.” ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
