• 1. Lord remember Dauid, and all his afflictions:
  • 2. How he sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iacob.
  • 3. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house: nor goe vp into my bed.
  • 4. I will not giue sleepe to mine eyes: or slumber to mine eyelids,
  • 5. Untill I finde out a place for the Lord: an habitation for the mightie God of Iacob.
  • 6. Loe, wee heard of it at Ephrata: we found it in the fields of the wood.
  • 7. We will goe into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstoole.
  • 8. Arise, O Lord, into thy rest: thou, and the Arke of thy strength.
  • 9. Let thy Priestes be clothed with righteousnesse: and let thy saints shout for ioy.
  • 10. For thy seruant Dauids sake: turne not away the face of thine Anointed.
  • 11. The Lord hath sworne in trueth vnto Dauid, hee will not turne from it; of the fruit of thy body will I set vpon thy throne.
  • 12. If thy children will keepe my couenant and my testimonie, that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit vpon thy throne for euermore.
  • 13. For the Lord hath chosen Zion: he hath desired it for his habitation.
  • 14. This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue desired it.
  • 15. I will abundantly blesse her prouision: I will satisfie her poore with bread.
  • 16. I will also clothe her priests with saluation: and her Saints shall shout aloud for ioy.
  • 17. There will I make the horne of Dauid to budde: I haue ordained a lampe for mine Anointed.
  • 18. His enemies will I clothe with shame: but vpon himselfe shall his crowne flourish.
