Covenant King
Remember, LORD, for David's sake
His afflictions, ev'ry one!
He swore unto the LORD. He vowed
To Jacob's Mighty One
"I will not go into my house
I will not lie in bed
I will not let my eyes have sleep
Or give my eyelids rest
Till I find a place for the LORD
Find a dwelling place for Jacob's Mighty One"
Look! We heard it there in Ephrathah
Found it there in Jaar's fields
Let us go up to his dwelling place
Let us bow before his feet
Arise, LORD, to your resting place
With the ark your might!
And let your priests wear righteousness
Your people sing delight!
For the sake of David your servant
Don't turn back the face of your Anointed One!
The LORD to David swore an oath
From which he will not turn
"One from the womb, who is your fruit
I will set upon your throne
If your sons keep my covenant
My law I'll teach to them
Then even their sons evermore
Upon your throne will sit"
For the LORD has chosen Zion
He desires to have her for his dwelling place!
Forever this will be my rest
Here I'll dwell as I desire
I'll bless her food abundantly
Satisfy her poor with bread
Salvation I will give her priests
To cover them like clothes
And then her saints will sing for joy
And David's power will grow
And a lamp for my Anointed I've prepared
I will clothe his foes with shame
But on him his crown will shine
His afflictions, ev'ry one!
He swore unto the LORD. He vowed
To Jacob's Mighty One
"I will not go into my house
I will not lie in bed
I will not let my eyes have sleep
Or give my eyelids rest
Till I find a place for the LORD
Find a dwelling place for Jacob's Mighty One"
Look! We heard it there in Ephrathah
Found it there in Jaar's fields
Let us go up to his dwelling place
Let us bow before his feet
Arise, LORD, to your resting place
With the ark your might!
And let your priests wear righteousness
Your people sing delight!
For the sake of David your servant
Don't turn back the face of your Anointed One!
The LORD to David swore an oath
From which he will not turn
"One from the womb, who is your fruit
I will set upon your throne
If your sons keep my covenant
My law I'll teach to them
Then even their sons evermore
Upon your throne will sit"
For the LORD has chosen Zion
He desires to have her for his dwelling place!
Forever this will be my rest
Here I'll dwell as I desire
I'll bless her food abundantly
Satisfy her poor with bread
Salvation I will give her priests
To cover them like clothes
And then her saints will sing for joy
And David's power will grow
And a lamp for my Anointed I've prepared
I will clothe his foes with shame
But on him his crown will shine
