¶ The .cxxxij. Psalme. [unspec A]
¶ A songe of the steares▪* 1.1
LORDE, remembre Dauyd, and all hys trouble. * 1.2 Howe he swore vnto the Lorde / and vowed a vowe vnto the al∣myghtye God of Iacob: I wyll nat come within the tabernacle of my house, nor clyme vp in my bedde. I wyll nat suffre myne eyes to slepe, nor myne eye lyddes to slomber. {fleur-de-lys} (Nether the temples of my heade to take anye reste.) Untyll I fynde out a place for the Lorde, an habitacy on for the myghtye God of Iacob. Lo, we hearde ☞ of the same at Ephrata, and founde it in the wood. We wyll go in to hys taber∣nacle, and fall downe before hys fote stole.
* 1.3 Aryse O Lorde, into thy restynge place thou and the arcke of thy strengthe.
Let thy Preastes be clothed with rygh∣teousnesse, and let thy saynctes reioyse.
For thy seruaunte Dauyds sake, turne nat awaye the presence of thyne anoynted.
* 1.4 The Lorde hathe made a faythfull othe vnto Dauid, and he shall nat shrynke from it: ‡ 1.5 Of the frute of thy body shal I set vpō thy seate. If thy chyldren wyll kepe my couenaunt, and my testimonies that I shal lerne them: their chyldren also shall syt vpō [unspec C] thy seate for euermore. For the Lorde hath chosen Syon, to be an habytaciō for hīselfe hathe he chosen her. ☞ Thys shalbe my rest for euer / here wyl I dwell, for I haue a delyte therin. I wyl blesse her vitayles wt increase, and wyl satysfy her poore wt bred.
☞ I wyll decke her Preastes with healthe, and her saynctes shall reioyse and synge. There shall I make * 1.6 ☞ the horne of Dauid to floryshe, I haue ordened a lanterne for myne anoynted. As for hys enemyes, I shall clothe them with shame, but vpon hymselfe shall his crowne floryshe.
