Read the chapter

1Lord, remember David And all his afflictions; ✦ 2How he swore to the Lord, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: ✦ 3“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of 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.” ✦ 6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods. ✦ 7Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool. ✦ 8Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. ✦ 9Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy. ✦ 10For Your servant David’s sake, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed. ✦ 11The Lord has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: “I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. ✦ 12If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.” ✦ 13For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: ✦ 14“Thisis My resting place forever; Here I will 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 I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. ✦ 18His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall 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.
