9. O let thy priests be clothed, Lord,with truth and righteousness;And let all those that are thy saintsshout loud for joyfulness.
10. For thine own servant David's sake,do not deny thy grace;Nor of thine own anointed oneturn thou away the face.
11. The Lord in truth to David sware,he will not turn from it,I of thy body's fruit will makeupon thy throne to sit.
12. My cov'nant if thy sons will keep,and laws to them made known,Their children then shall also sitfor ever on thy throne.
13. For God of Sion hath made choice;there he desires to dwell.
14. This is my rest, here still I'll stay;for I do like it well.
15. Her food I'll greatly bless; her poorwith bread will satisfy.
16. Her priests I'll clothe with health; her saintsshall shout forth joyfully.
17. And there will I make David's hornto bud forth pleasantly:For him that mine anointed isa lamp ordain'd have I.
18. As with a garment I will clothewith shame his en'mies all:But yet the crown that he doth wearupon him flourish shall.
