Psalm 132 Memento, Domine
Lord call to mynd, nay keepe in minde
Thy David and thy Davids paines:
Who once by othe and vow did bind
Himself to him who ay remaynes,
That mighty one,
That God in Jacob known.
Thy David and thy Davids paines:
Who once by othe and vow did bind
Himself to him who ay remaynes,
That mighty one,
That God in Jacob known.
My howse shall never harbor mee,
Nor bedd alow my body rest,
Nor eyes of sleepe the lodging bee,
Nor ey-lidds slendrest slumbers nest:
Untill I finde
A plott to please my mind:
Nor bedd alow my body rest,
Nor eyes of sleepe the lodging bee,
Nor ey-lidds slendrest slumbers nest:
Untill I finde
A plott to please my mind:
I find, I say, my mind to please,
A plott wherin I may errect
A howse for him to dwell at ease,
Who is ador'd with due respect:
That mighty one
The God in Jacob known.
A plott wherin I may errect
A howse for him to dwell at ease,
Who is ador'd with due respect:
That mighty one
The God in Jacob known.
The plott thy David then did name,
We heard at Ephrata it lay:
We heard, but bent to find the same,
Were faine to seeke an other way:
Ev'n to the fields
That woody fear yeelds.
We heard at Ephrata it lay:
We heard, but bent to find the same,
Were faine to seeke an other way:
Ev'n to the fields
That woody fear yeelds.
And yet not there, but heere O heere
We find now settled what we sought:
Before the stoole thy feete doth beare
Now entring in, wee, as wee ought,
Adore thee will,
And duly worshipp still.
We find now settled what we sought:
Before the stoole thy feete doth beare
Now entring in, wee, as wee ought,
Adore thee will,
And duly worshipp still.
281
Then enter Lord, thy fixed rest,
With Arke the token of thy strength,
And let thy priests be purely drest
In robes of Justice laied at length:
Let them bee glad
Thy gracefull blisse have had.
With Arke the token of thy strength,
And let thy priests be purely drest
In robes of Justice laied at length:
Let them bee glad
Thy gracefull blisse have had.
For David, once thy servants sake
Doe not our kings, his seede reject:
For thou to him this othe did'st make,
This endless othe: I will erect,
And hold thy race
Enthron'd in Roiall place.
Doe not our kings, his seede reject:
For thou to him this othe did'st make,
This endless othe: I will erect,
And hold thy race
Enthron'd in Roiall place.
Nay if thy race my league observe,
And keepe the cov'nants I sett down,
Their race againe I will preserve
Eternally to wear thy Crown:
No lesse thy throne
Shall ever bee their owne.
And keepe the cov'nants I sett down,
Their race againe I will preserve
Eternally to wear thy Crown:
No lesse thy throne
Shall ever bee their owne.
For Syon which I loved best
I chosen have, noe seate of change:
Heere heere shall bee my endles rest,
Heere will I dwell, not hence will range:
Unto the place
I beare such love and grace.
I chosen have, noe seate of change:
Heere heere shall bee my endles rest,
Heere will I dwell, not hence will range:
Unto the place
I beare such love and grace.
Such grace and love that evermore
A blisse from gratious loving me,
Shall blesse hir vittaile, blesse hir store,
That ev'n the poore who in hir bee
With store of bread
Shall, fully, all bee fedd.
A blisse from gratious loving me,
Shall blesse hir vittaile, blesse hir store,
That ev'n the poore who in hir bee
With store of bread
Shall, fully, all bee fedd.
In her my priests shall nought anoy:
Nay cladd they shall with safty be.
O how in her with cause shall joy
Who there as tenants hold of mee!
Whose tenure is
By grace my fields of blisse.
Nay cladd they shall with safty be.
O how in her with cause shall joy
Who there as tenants hold of mee!
Whose tenure is
By grace my fields of blisse.
O how in her shall sprowt and spring
The scepter Davids hand did beare!
How I my Christ, my sacred king,
As light in lantern placed there
With beames devine,
Will make abroad to shine!
The scepter Davids hand did beare!
How I my Christ, my sacred king,
As light in lantern placed there
With beames devine,
Will make abroad to shine!
282
But as for them who spite and hate
Conceave to him, they all shall down,
Down cast by mee to shamefull state,
While on him self his happy Crown
Shall up to skies
With fame and glory rise.
Conceave to him, they all shall down,
Down cast by mee to shamefull state,
While on him self his happy Crown
Shall up to skies
With fame and glory rise.
