PSALME 132.

A Prayer for the Church, for the promotion of Religion, for the King, and for the Clergie.

MORNING PRAYER.

LOrd remember David: and all his trouble.

2 How he sware unto the Lord: and vowed a vow unto the Almighty God of Iacob.

3 I will not come within the tabernacle of my house: nor climbe up into my bed.

4 I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eye lids to slumber: neither the temples of my head to take any rest.

5 Untill I finde out a place for the temple of the Lord: an habitation for the mighty God of Iacob.

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

7 We will go into his tabernacle: and fall low on our knees before his footstool.

8 Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the arke of thy strength.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteous∣nesse: and let thy saints sing with ioyfulnesse.

10 For thy servant Davids sake: turne not away the presence of thine anointed.

11 The Lord hath made a faithfull oath unto David: and he shall not shrinke from it.

12 Of the fruit of thy body: shall I set upon thy seat.

13 If thy children will keep my couenant and my testimonies that I shall learne them: their children also shall sit upon thy seat for evermore.

14 For the Lord hath chosen Sion to bean habitation for himselfe: he hath longed for her.

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

16 I will blesse her victuals with increase: and will satisfie her poore with bread.

17 I will decke her priests with health: and her saints shall reioyce and sing.

18 There shall I make the horne of David to flourish: I have ordained a lanterne for mine anointed.

19 As for his enemies. I shall cloth them with shame: but upon himselfe shall his crowne flourish.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, who dwellest not in Temples made with hands, and yet hast been pleased to manifest thy presence by speciall blessings and assistances, in places set apart for thy worship, be pleased to heare our prayers, & accept our ser∣vices when ever we make our addresses to thee in the house of prayer, & fall downe low on our knees before thy footstool▪ let thy Priests be cloth∣ed with righteousnesse, & let thy Saints sing with joyfulnes, & let all those that make their approa∣ches unto thee purifie their hearts and hands, that they may offer to thee a pure sacrifice even the sacrifice of obedience and holinesse, and the ex∣presses of true Religion. Blesse (O Lord) thy ser∣vant the King, whom thou hast made the Patron

and Defender of the Church, make his horne to flourish and be exalted above all his enemies, and let thy Word be as a lanterne for thine Anointed, to shew him thy holy will and pleasure, that he seeking thy honour and glory, thy Church may flourish under the covert of his shield and patro∣nage, her victuals may be blessed with increase, her poore satisfied with bread, her Priests decked with health, her Saints with joy, and himselfe with honour and great renown, and a flourishing Diademe, while his enemies sit clothed in shame and misery. Grant this, O blessed God, for Iesus Christ his sake, our Lord and onely Saviour. Amen.
