⁶ Behold, we heard of it ^(E)in Ephrathah;
^(F)We found it ^(G)in the fields of ^[a]the woods.
⁷ Let us go into His tabernacle;
^(H)Let us worship at His footstool.
^8 (I)Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and ^(J)the ark of Your strength.
⁹ Let Your priests ^(K)be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰ For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your ^[b]Anointed.

^11 (L)The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne ^(M)the ^[c]fruit of your body.
¹² If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

^13 (N)For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His ^[d]dwelling place:
¹⁴ “This^(O) is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
^15 (P)I will abundantly bless her ^[e]provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
^16 (Q)I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
^(R)And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
^17 (S)There I will make the ^[f]horn of David grow;
^(T)I will prepare a lamp for My ^[g]Anointed.
¹⁸ His enemies I will ^(U)clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

³ For You have been a shelter for me,
^(A)A strong tower from the enemy.
⁴ I will abide in Your ^[b]tabernacle forever;
^(B)I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

⁵ For You, O God, have heard my vows;
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.
⁶ You will prolong the king’s life,
His years as many generations.
⁷ He shall abide before God forever.
Oh, prepare mercy ^(C)and truth, which may ^[c]preserve him!

⁸ So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may daily perform my vows.

³ How long will you attack a man?
You shall be slain, all of you,
^(D)Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
⁴ They only consult to cast him down from his high position;
They ^(E)delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth,
But they curse inwardly. Selah

⁵ My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my ^[c]expectation is from Him.
⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be ^[d]moved.
^7 (F)In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God.

⁸ Trust in Him at all times, you people;
^(G)Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

^9 (H)Surely men of low degree are ^[e]a vapor,
Men of high degree are a lie;
If they are weighed on the scales,
They are altogether lighter than vapor.
¹⁰ Do not trust in oppression,
Nor vainly hope in robbery;
^(I)If riches increase,
Do not set your heart on them.

¹¹ God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.
¹² Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
For ^(J)You ^[f]render to each one according to his work.
