Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
1. Lord, remember David, and all the hardships he endured;
2. How he swore an oath to the Lord and vowed a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob.
Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
3. "I will not come under the roof of my house, nor climb up into my bed;
4. I will not allow my eyes to sleep, nor let my eyelids slumber;
5. Until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
6. "The ark! We heard it was in Ephratah; we found it in the fields of Jearim.
7. Let us go to God's dwelling place; let us fall upon our knees before his footstool."
Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
9. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; let your faithful people sing with joy.
10. For your servant David's sake, do not turn away the face of your Anointed.
Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
11. The Lord has sworn an oath to David; in truth he will not break it;
12. "A son, the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.
13. If your children keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their children will sit upon your throne for evermore."
Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
