PSALM CXXXII.
Memento, Domine.

1 Lord, remember David :
And all his trouble;

2 How he sware unto the Lord :

And vowed a vow unto the Almighty God of Jacob;

3 I will not come within the tabernacle of mine house :

Nor climb up into my bed; 4 I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep,

Nor mine eye-lids to slumber:

Neither the temples of my head to take any rest;

5 Until I find out a place for the temple of the Lord :

A. V. CXXX. 6. Job 42. 3. Ps. 139. 6.

R. V.

R. V.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait,

And in his word do I hope. 6 My soul looketh for the Lord,

More than watchmen look for the morning;

Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is mercy,

And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities.

PSALM CXXXI.

A Song of Ascents; of David. 1 LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty;

Neither do I fexercise myself in great matters,

Or in things too wonderful for me.

2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul;

Like a weaned child with his mother,

My soul is with me like a weaned child.

3 O Israel, hope in the LORD From this time forth and for evermore.

PSALM CXXXII.

A Song of Ascents.

1 LORD, remember for David All his affliction ;

2 How he sware unto the LORD,

And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: 3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

Nor go up into my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes,

Or slumber to mine eyelids;

5 Until I find out a place for the LORD,

P. B. V.

An habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of the same at Ephrata:

And found it in the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacle :

And fall low on our knees before his footstool.

8 Arise, O Lord, into thy resting-place :

Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness :

And let thy saints sing with joyfulness.

10 For thy servant David's sake:

Turn not away the presence of thine Anointed.

11 The Lord hath made a faithful oath unto David :

And he shall not shrink from it;

12 Of the fruit of thy body : shall I set upon thy seat. 13 If thy children will keep my covenant,

And my testimonies that I shall learn them :

Their children also shall sit upon thy seat for ever

more.

14 For the Lord hath chosen Sion to be an habitation for himself :

He hath longed for her.

15 This shall be my rest for

ever:

Here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein. 16 I will bless her victuals with increase :

And will satisfy her poor

with bread. 17 I will deck her priests with health :

And her saints shall rejoice and sing.

18 There shall I make the horn of David to flourish : I have ordained a lantern for mine Anointed.

A. V. a An habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. 6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah:

We found it in the fields of the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacles:

We will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest;

Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;

And let thy saints shout

for joy. 10 For thy servant David's sake

Turn not away the face of thine anointed. 11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David;

it;

He will not turn from

Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 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 ever

more.

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion;

He hath desired it for his habitation.

14 This is my rest for ever:

Here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provision:

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation:

And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud:

I have ordained a dlamp for mine anointed.

6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he

In heaven and in earth: and in the sea, and in all deep places.

7 He bringeth forth the clouds from the ends of the world :

And sendeth forth lightnings with the rain,

Bringing the winds out

of his treasures.

8 He smote the first-born of Egypt:

Both of man and beast. 9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O thou land of Egypt :

Upon Pharaoh, and all his servants.

10 He smote divers nations : And slew mighty kings; 11 Sehon king of the Amorites,

And Og the king of Basan: And all the kingdoms of Canaan ;

12 And gave their land to be an heritage :

Even an heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for ever:

So doth thy memorial, O Lord, from one generation to another.

14 For the Lord will avenge his people :

And be gracious unto his servants.

15 As for the images of the heathen, they are but silver and gold :

The work of men's hands.

3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good:

Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself,

And Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For I know that the LORD is great,

And that our Lord is above

all gods.

6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he

In heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;

He maketh lightnings for the rain;

He bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt,

a Both of man and beast. 9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,

Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, And slew mighty kings; 11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan :

12 And gave their land for an heritage,

An heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever;

And thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the LORD will judge his people,

And he will repent himself concerning his servants. 15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold,

The work of men's hands.

7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;

He maketh lightnings for the rain;

He bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Whosmote many nations, And slew mighty kings; 11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan : 12 And gave their land for an heritage,

An heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever;

Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the LORD shall judge his people,

And repent himself concerning his servants.
