Read the chapter

1A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured, ✦ 2how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: ✦ 3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed, ✦ 4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, ✦ 5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ✦ 6We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. ✦ 7Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool. ✦ 8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. ✦ 9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy. ✦ 10For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one. ✦ 11The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne. ✦ 12If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.” ✦ 13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home: ✦ 14“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home. ✦ 15I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. ✦ 16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy. ✦ 17There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one. ✦ 18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.” ✦

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.
