A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
*Afflictions* — All his sufferings for thy sake.

Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
*Until* — Until I have raised an house in which the ark may be put.

Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
*It* — Of the ark.
*Ephratah* — In the tribe of Ephraim, which was called also Ephratah.
*Found it* — Afterwards we found it in Kirjath-jearim, which signifies a city of woods, in the territory whereof the ark was seated for twenty years.

We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
*Tabernacles* — Into his temple.
*Footstool* — The ark, is often said to sit between the cherubim, which were above the ark.

Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
*Rest* — Into thy resting place, the temple so called, [Isaiah 66:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/66/1), where thou hast now a fixed habitation.
*The ark* — The seat of thy powerful and glorious presence.

For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
*David's sake* — In regard of thy promises vouchsafed to David.
*Turn not* — Cast me not out of thy presence.
*Of* — Of me whom thou hast anointed to be king over thy people.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
*Salvation* — With thy saving graces and blessings.

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
*There* — In Jerusalem.
*To bud* — His power and glory to flourish.
*A lamp* — A successor to continue for ever in his family, as this phrase is expounded1Kings11:36; 15:4, and particularly one eminent and glorious light, namely, the Messiah.
