[1] O God be mindfull of Dauid: with all his affliction [1]Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
[2]Who swore vnto God: who made a vowe vnto the most mightie [Lorde] of Iacob [2]How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
[3][Saying] I wyll not enter into the tabernacle of my house: nor get vp into my bed [3]Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
[4]I wyll not suffer myne eyes to slepe: nor myne eye liddes to slumber [4]I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
[5]Untill I finde out a place for the temple of God: an habitation for the most mightie Lorde of Iacob [5]Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
[6]Beholde, we hearde it to be at Ephratha: we founde it in the fieldes of the forest [6]Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
[7]We wyll go into his tabernacle: and fall downe on our knees before his footestoole [7]We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
[8]Aryse O God [for to come] into thy resting place: thou and the arke of thy strength [8]Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
[9]Let thy priestes be clothed with righteousnes: and let thy saintes make a ioyfull noyse [9]Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
[10]For thy seruaunt Dauids sake: turne not away [from] the face of thyne annoynted [10]For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
[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 [11]The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
[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 [12]If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
[13]For God hath chosen [to be in] Sion: he had a desire that it might be an habitation for hym [13]For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
[14]This [is sayeth he] my rest for euer: heare I wyll dwell, for I haue a desire to it [14]This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
[15]I wyll aboundauntly powre my blessinges vpon her victuals: and I wyll satisfie her poore with bread [15]I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
[16]I wyll clothe her priestes with saluation: and her saintes shall make an exceeding ioyfull noyse [16]I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
[17]I will make there the horne of Dauid to bud vp: I wyll ordayne a light for mine annoynted [17]There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
[18]I wyll clothe his enemies with shame: but his crowne shall florishe vppon hym selfe [18]His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
