The LORD Has Chosen Zion 1
2Who swore vnto God: who made a vowe vnto the most mightie
3 4I wyll not suffer myne eyes to slepe: nor myne eye liddes to slumber. 5Untill I finde out a place for the temple of God: an habitation for the most mightie Lorde of Iacob. 6Beholde, we hearde it to be at Ephratha: we founde it in the fieldes of the forest. 7We wyll go into his tabernacle: and fall downe on our knees before his footestoole.
8Aryse O God 9Let thy priestes be clothed with righteousnes: and let thy saintes make a ioyfull noyse.
10For thy seruaunt Dauids sake: turne not away 11God 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. 12If thy chyldren wyll kepe my couenaunt and my testimonies whiche I wyll teache them: their chyldren also shall sit vpon thy throne for euermore.
13For God hath chosen
14This 15I wyll aboundauntly powre my blessinges vpon her victuals: and I wyll satisfie her poore with bread. 16I wyll clothe her priestes with saluation: and her saintes shall make an exceeding ioyfull noyse. 17I will make there the horne of Dauid to bud vp: I wyll ordayne a light for mine annoynted. 18I wyll clothe his enemies with shame: but his crowne shall florishe vppon hym selfe. |
