Prayer for the Lord’s Blessing upon the Sanctuary.

1RememberH2142, O LordH3068, on David’sH1732 behalf, AllH3605 1his afflictionH6031;2HowH834 he sworeH7650 to the LordH3068 And vowedH5087 to 2the MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290,3“SurelyH518 I will not 3enterH935 4my houseH1004, NorH518 5lieH5927 on my bedH6210 H3326;4I will not 6giveH5414 sleepH8142 to my eyesH5869 Or slumberH8572 to my eyelidsH6079,5UntilH5704 I findH4672 a 7placeH4725 for the LordH3068, 8A dwellingH4908 placeH4908 for 9the MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290.”

6BeholdH2009, we heardH8085 of it in 10EphrathahH672, We foundH4672 it in the 11fieldH7704 of 12JaarH3293.7Let us goH935 into His 13 14dwellingH4908 placeH4908; Let us 15worshipH7812 at His 16footstoolH1916 H7272.8 17AriseH6965, O LordH3068, to Your 18restingH4496 placeH4496, You and the arkH727 of Your 19strengthH5797.9Let Your priestsH3548 be 20clothedH3847 with righteousnessH6664, And let Your 21godlyH2623 onesH2623 singH7442 for joyH7442.

10For the sakeH5668 of DavidH1732 Your servantH5650, Do not turnH7725 awayH7725 the faceH6440 of Your 22anointedH4899.11The LordH3068 has 23swornH7650 to DavidH1732 A truthH571 from which He will not turnH7725 backH7725: “24Of the fruitH6529 of your bodyH990 I will setH7896 upon your throneH3678.12IfH518 your sonsH1121 will keepH8104 My covenantH1285 And My testimonyH5713 whichH2097 I will teachH3925 them, Their sonsH1121 alsoH1571 shall 25sitH3427 upon your throneH3678 foreverH5703.”

13For the LordH3068 has 26chosenH977 ZionH6726; He has 27desiredH183 it for His habitationH4186.14“ThisH2088 is My 28restingH4496 placeH4496 foreverH5703; HereH6311 I will 29dwellH3427, for I have desiredH183 it.15I will abundantlyH1288 30blessH1288 her provisionH6718; I will 31satisfyH7646 her needyH34 with breadH3899.16Her 32priestsH3548 also I will clotheH3847 with salvationH3468, And her 33godlyH2623 onesH2623 will singH7442 aloudH7442 for joyH7442.17ThereH8033 I will cause the 34hornH7161 of DavidH1732 to springH6779 forthH6779; I have preparedH6186 a 35lampH5216 for Mine anointedH4899.18His enemiesH340 I will 36clotheH3847 with shameH1322, But upon himself his 37crownH5145 shall shineH6692.”
