- A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness
- how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob
- I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down
- I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelid
- and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob
- Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest
- We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood
- Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification
- Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult
- For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ
- The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage
- If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever
- For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place
- This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it
- When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread
- I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy
- There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ
- I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him
