1
O Lord, remember in David's favor all the hardships he endured;
2
how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3
"I will not enter my house or get into my bed;
4
I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5
until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
