2 He made a solemn promise to the LORD. He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel, how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “I will not go home; I will not let myself rest. “I will not enter my house or get into my bed, “I will not enter my house or go to my bed,
4 I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5 until I find a place to build a house for the LORD, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.” until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
7 Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD; let us worship at the footstool of his throne. “Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!” “Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,
8 Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
9 May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy. May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.’”
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you have anointed. For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David with a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne. The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne. The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: “One of your own descendants I will place on your throne.
12 If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and the laws that I teach them, then your royal line will continue forever and ever.” If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.” If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem; he has desired it for his home. For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
14 “This is my resting place forever,” he said. “I will live here, for this is the home I desired. “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
15 I will bless this city and make it prosperous; I will satisfy its poor with food. I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.
16 I will clothe its priests with godliness; its faithful servants will sing for joy. Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.
17 Here I will increase the power of David; my anointed one will be a light for my people. There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. “Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but he will be a glorious king.” His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.” I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
