The Lord Has Chosen Zion
A Song of mAscents.
1Remember, O Lord, in David's favor,
all ythe hardships he endured,
2how he swore to the Lord
and zvowed to athe Mighty One of Jacob,
3“I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
4I will not bgive sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5until I cfind a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for athe Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Behold, we heard of it in dEphrathah;
we found it in ethe fields of Jaar.
7“Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us fworship at his gfootstool!”
8hArise, O Lord, and go to your iresting place,
you and the ark of your jmight.
9Let your kpriests be lclothed with righteousness,
and let your msaints shout for joy.
10For the sake of your servant David,
ndo not turn away the face of oyour anointed one.
11pThe Lord swore to David a sure oath
qfrom which he will not turn back:
r“One of the sons of your body1
I will set on your throne.
12If your sons keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
shall ssit on your throne.”
13For the Lord has tchosen Zion;
he has udesired it for his dwelling place:
14“This is my vresting place forever;
here I will wdwell, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly xbless her provisions;
I will ysatisfy her poor with bread.
16Her zpriests I will clothe with salvation,
and her zsaints will shout for joy.
17There I will make aa horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared ba lamp for cmy anointed.
18His enemies I will dclothe with shame,
but on him his crown will shine.”

A Song of mAscents. Of David.
1Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when ebrothers dwell in unity!1
2It is like the precious foil on gthe head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on hthe collar of his robes!
3It is like ithe dew of jHermon,
which falls on kthe mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord lhas commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
