2 Sicut iuravit Domino, votum vovit Deo Iacob:
Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,
3 Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meæ, si ascendero in lectum strati mei:
I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,
4 Si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem:
Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,
5 Et requiem temporibus meis: donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Iacob.

12 Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea hæc, quæ docebo eos: Et filii eorum usque in sæculum, sedebunt super sedem tuam.
If thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.
13 Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi.
