1Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: ✦ 2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; ✦ 3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; ✦ 4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, ✦ 5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. ✦ 6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. ✦ 7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. ✦ 8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. ✦ 9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. ✦ 10For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. ✦ 11The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. ✦ 12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. ✦ 13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. ✦ 14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. ✦ 15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. ✦ 16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. ✦ 17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. ✦ 18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish. ✦

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.
