¹ A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.² Who sware vnto the Lorde, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,³ I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,⁴ Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,⁵ Vntill I finde out a place for the Lorde, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.⁶ Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.⁷ We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.⁸ Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.⁹ Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.¹⁰ For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.

¹¹ The Lord hath sworne in trueth vnto Dauid, and he wil not shrinke from it, saying, Of the fruite of thy body will I set vpon thy throne.¹² If thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.¹³ For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,¹⁴ This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.¹⁵ I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,¹⁶ And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.¹⁷ There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.¹⁸ His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.
