Domine.
ORD, remember David,
and all his trouble.

2 How he fware unto the Lord, and vowed a vow unto the Almighty God of Jatob; 3 I will not come within the tabernacle of mine houfe, nor climb up into my bed;

4 I will not fuffer mine eyes to fleep, nor mine eyelids to flumber; neither the temples of my head to take any rest;

Until I find out a place 5 for the temple of the Lord; an habitation for the mighty God of Jaocb.

6 Lo, we heard of the fame at Ephrata, and found it in the wood.

7 We will go into his ta

bernacle, and fall low on our
knees before his footstool.
8 Arife, O Lord, into thy
refting-place; thou, and the
ark of thy ftrength.

9 Let thy priests be cloathed with righteoufnefs; and let thy faints fing with joyfulness.

10 For thy fervant David's fake, turn not away the prefence of thine Anointed.

11 The Lord hath made a faithful oath unto David, and he fhall not fhrink from it;

12 Of the fruit of thy body fhall I fet upon thy feat.

13

If thy children will keep my covenant, and my teftimonies that I fhall learn them; their children alfo fhall fit upon thy feat for evermore.

14 For the Lord hath chofen Sion to be an habitation for himfelf: he hath longed for her.

15 This fhall be my rest for ever: here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.

16 I will blefs her victuals with increafe, and will fatisfy her poor with bread.

17 I will deck her priests with health, and her faints fhall rejoice and fing.

18 There fhall I make the horn of David to flourish: I have ordained a lantern for mine anointed.

19 As for his enemies, I fhall clothe them with shame; but upon himself fhall his crown flourish.
