## Yahweh Has Chosen Zion 

###### 1
Remember, O Yahweh, on David's behalf, All his affliction; 

###### 2
How he swore to Yahweh And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, 

###### 3
"Surely I will not come into my house, Nor lie in the comfort of my bed; 

###### 4
I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, 

###### 5
Until I find a place for Yahweh, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." 

###### 6
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the fields of Jaar. 

###### 7
Let us come into His dwelling place; Let us worship at the footstool of His feet. 

###### 8
Arise, O Yahweh, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. 

###### 9
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your holy ones sing for joy. 

###### 10
For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed. 

###### 11
Yahweh has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: "Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne. 

###### 12
If your sons keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever." 

###### 13
For Yahweh has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. 

###### 14
"This is My resting place forever; Here I will inhabit, for I have desired it. 

###### 15
I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread. 

###### 16
Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her holy ones will sing loudly for joy. 

###### 17
There I will cause the horn of David to spring up; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed. 

###### 18
His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon him, his crown shall blossom."
