3I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
5Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

11The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of thy body will I set [a king] upon thy throne.
11The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.
12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
13For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],
13For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.
14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
