131:4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, * nor slumber to my eyelids
131:5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, * a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
131:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. * We discovered it in the fields of the forest.
131:7 We will enter into his tabernacle. * We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
131:8 Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. * You and the ark of your sanctification.
131:9 Let your priests be clothed with justice, * and let your saints exult.
131:10 For the sake of your servant David, * do not turn away the face of your Christ.
131:11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: * I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.
131:12a If your sons will keep my covenant * and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them,
131:12b then their sons * will sit upon your throne even forever.
131:13 For the Lord has chosen Zion. * He has chosen it as his dwelling place.
131:14 This is my resting place, forever and ever. * Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.

Hymn
O glorious King of martyr hosts,
Thou crown that each confessor boasts,
Who leadest to celestial day
Those who have cast earth's joys away:
Thine ear in mercy, Saviour, lend,
While unto thee our prayers ascend;
And as we count their triumphs won,
Forgive the sins that we have done.
Martyrs in thee their triumphs gain,
From thee confessors grace obtain;
O'ercome in us the lust of sin,
That we thy pardoning love may win.
To thee who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.
