1Remember, Lord, in David’s behalf, All his affliction; ✦ 2How he swore to the Lord And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, ✦ 3“I certainly will not enter my house, Nor lie on 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 place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ✦ 6¶Behold, we heard about it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar. ✦ 7Let’s go into His dwelling place; Let’s worship at His footstool. ✦ 8Arise, Lord, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. ✦ 9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And may Your godly ones sing for joy. ✦ 10¶For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed. ✦ 11The Lord has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “I will set upon your throne one from the fruit of your body. ✦ 12“If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also will sit upon your throne forever.” ✦ 13¶For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it as His dwelling place. ✦ 14“This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. ✦ 15“I will abundantly bless her food; I will satisfy her needy with bread. ✦ 16“I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy. ✦ 17“I will make the horn of David spring forth there; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed. ✦ 18“I will clothe his enemies with shame, But upon himself his crown 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.
