A Song of Ascents.
LORD, remember David and all his affliction, Psa 120:1Psa 129:1Lam 5:1Psa 121:1Psa 126:1Exo 2:24Gen 8:1Lam 3:19
how he swore to the LORD, Gen 49:24Psa 65:12Sa 7:1Isa 49:26Isa 60:16Psa 116:14-18Psa 119:106Psa 132:5
and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Hag 1:4Mat 6:33Ecc 9:10
nor go up into my bed;
I will not give sleep to my eyes, Pro 6:4Rut 3:18Gen 24:33
or slumber to my eyelids,
until I find out a place for the LORD, Eph 2:221Ch 22:72Ch 2:6Act 7:46-491Ch 15:121Ch 15:31Ki 8:272Sa 6:17
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Arise, LORD, into your resting place, 2Ch 6:41-42Num 10:35-36Psa 68:1Psa 78:61
you, and the ark of your strength.
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Job 29:14Rev 19:81Pe 5:5Isa 61:10Psa 104:1Psa 132:16Psa 93:1Zec 9:9

The LORD has sworn to David in truth. 2Sa 7:12Act 2:30Psa 89:3-4Psa 110:42Ch 6:16Heb 6:18Luk 1:32Luk 1:69-70
He will not turn from it:
“I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
If your children will keep my covenant, Act 2:30Isa 59:21Luk 1:32-33Psa 89:30-35Isa 9:7Psa 102:28Psa 115:14
my testimony that I will teach them,
