☞ The faythfull, groundyng on Gods promise made vnto Dauid, de¦sireth that he would establysh the same, bothe as touchyng hys po∣sterytic and the buylding of the temple, to praye there as was fore spoken.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 REmēber dauids trobles lord how to 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the Lord he sware, & voud a vow to Iacobs god

〈♫〉〈♫〉 to kepe for euermore I wil not com within my 〈♫〉〈♫〉 house, nor clyme vp to my bed, nor let my tem∣ples 〈♫〉〈♫〉 take their rest, or the eyes in my hed.

Till I haue found out for the Lorde, a place to set theron: An house for Iacobs God to be, an habitacyon. We harde of it at Ephrata, there did we heare this sounde: And in the fildes and forrestes there, these voyces fyrst were found.

We will assay and go in nowe, his tabernarle there: Before his for stole to fall doune, apon out knees in feare. Artic O Lorde aryse I say, into thy restyng place: Both thou and the like of thy strengthe, the presence of thy grace.

Let all thy prestes be clothed Lorde, with truthe and righteousnes: Let all thy sayntes and holy men, sing all with ioyfulnes. And for thy seruaunt Dauids sake, refuse not Lorde I say: The face of thyne annoynted Lorde, or turn thy face away.

The Lorde to Dauid swore in truth, and will not shrink from it: Saying, the frute of thy body, apon thy seate shall syt. And if thy sonnes my couenant kepe, that I shall learne eche one: Then shall theyr sonnes for euer syt, apon thy princely throne,

The Lorde himselfe hath chose Syon, and loue therein to dwell: Saying thys is my restyng place, I loue and like it well. And I will blesse, with great increase, her vittales, euery where: And I will satisfye with bread, the nedy that be there.

Yea I will decke, and cloth her pristes, with my saluation: And all her sainctes shall sing for ioye, of my protection. There will I surely make the horne, of Dauid for to bud▪

For I haue there, ordaynde for myne, alanthorne bright and good. As for his enmyes, I will clothe, with shame for euermore: But I will cause his crowne to shine, more fresh then here to fore.
