1“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” O LORD! remember David, And all his affliction!
2How he sware to Jehovah, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not go into my house, Nor lie down on my bed,
4I will not give sleep to my eyes, Nor slumber to my eyelids,
5Until I find a place for Jehovah, A habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah; We found it in the fields of the forest.
