[1]<A song of high degrees.> 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
