Bishops(i) 1 O God be mindfull of Dauid: with all his affliction 2 Who swore vnto God: who made a vowe vnto the most mightie [Lorde] of Iacob 3 [Saying] I wyll not enter into the tabernacle of my house: nor get vp into my bed 4 I wyll not suffer myne eyes to slepe: nor myne eye liddes to slumber 5 Untill I finde out a place for the temple of God: an habitation for the most mightie Lorde of Iacob 6 Beholde, we hearde it to be at Ephratha: we founde it in the fieldes of the forest 7 We wyll go into his tabernacle: and fall downe on our knees before his footestoole 8 Aryse O God [for to come] into thy resting place: thou and the arke of thy strength 9 Let thy priestes be clothed with righteousnes: and let thy saintes make a ioyfull noyse 10 For thy seruaunt Dauids sake: turne not away [from] the face of thyne annoynted 11 God hath sworne for a trueth vnto Dauid, and he wyll not go from it: I wyll place vpon thy throne some of the fruite of thy body 12 If thy chyldren wyll kepe my couenaunt and my testimonies whiche I wyll teache them: their chyldren also shall sit vpon thy throne for euermore 13 For God hath chosen [to be in] Sion: he had a desire that it might be an habitation for hym 14 This [is sayeth he] my rest for euer: heare I wyll dwell, for I haue a desire to it 15 I wyll aboundauntly powre my blessinges vpon her victuals: and I wyll satisfie her poore with bread 16 I wyll clothe her priestes with saluation: and her saintes shall make an exceeding ioyfull noyse 17 I will make there the horne of Dauid to bud vp: I wyll ordayne a light for mine annoynted 18 I wyll clothe his enemies with shame: but his crowne shall florishe vppon hym selfe
