David's care for the ark

«A Song of the going up.» Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles; A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying, how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed, “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs, I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob. until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet. “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength. Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy. Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”
Because of your servant David, do not give up your king. For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

The promises of God

The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body. Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever. If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”
For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place. For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire. “This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread. I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy. Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king. There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
