Memento Domine. Psal. 132.

LOrde remember Dauid: and all his trouble.

How he sware vnto the Lord: and bowed a bowe vnto the Al∣mightie God of Iacob.

I will not come within the ta∣bernacle of mine house: nor clime vp into my bed.

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

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

Loe we heard of the same at Ephrata: and found it in the wood.

We will goe into his tabenacle: and follow on our knees before his foote stoole.

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

Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse: and let thy Saints sing with ioy fulnesse.

For thy seruant Dauids sake: turne not away the presence of thine anoynted.

The Lord hath made a faithfull othe vnto Dauid: and he shall not shrinke from it.

Of the fruite of thy body: shall I set vpon thy seate.

If thy children will keepe my couenant, and my testimo∣nies that I shal learne them: their children also shall sit vpon thy seate for euermore.

For the Lorde hath chosen Sion to bee an habitation for himselfe: he hath longed for her.

This shall bee my rest for euer: heere will I dwell, for I haue a delight therein.

I will blesse her vitailes with increase: and wil satisfie her poore with bread.

I will decke her Priests with healthy: and her saints shall reioyce and sing.

There shal I make the horne of Dauid to florish: I haue ordeined a lanterne for mine anointed.

As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame: but vpon himselfe shall his crowne florish.
