Psalms 67:1-150:6

Bishops(i) 1 The Lord be mercyfull vnto vs and blesse vs: [and] cause the light of his coutenaunce to shine vpon vs. Selah 2 That thy way may be knowen vpon the earth: thy saluation among all nations 3 [Then] wyll the people prayse thee O Lorde: yea all the people wyll prayse thee 4 The Gentiles will reioyce & triumph: for thou wylt iudge the people, and gouerne the gentiles vpon the earth, according to equitie. Selah 5 The people will prayse thee O Lord: all the people wyll prayse thee 6 [Then] shall the earth bryng foorth her increase: and the Lorde our Lord will geue vs his blessing 7 The Lorde will blesse vs: and all the endes of the worlde shall feare him 68 1 In case the Lorde woulde aryse, his enemies woulde be scattered: and they that hate hym woulde flee from his face 2 Lyke as the smoke vanisheth, [so] wylt thou cause [them] to vanishe away: and lyke as water melteth at the fire, [so] wyll the vngodly perishe at the presence of the Lorde 3 But the ryghteous must be glad, and reioyce before the Lorde: they shall not stande styll for myrth 4 Syng vnto the Lorde, syng psalmes vnto his name: magnifie hym that rideth vpon the heauens as it were vpon an horse in his name euerlastyng, and reioyce before his face 5 He is a father of the fatherlesse, and the iudge of widdowes: [he is] the Lord in his holy habitation 6 He is the Lord that maketh those that dwell alone to haue a familie: and bryngeth prisoners out of the stockes 7 But rebelles did inhabite a dry [ground] O Lorde, when thou wentest foorth before the people: when thou wentest through the wyldernesse. Selah 8 The earth shoke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of the Lorde: euen Sinai it selfe [shoke] at the presence of the Lorde, Lorde of Israel 9 Thou O Lorde dydst cause rayne to fall at thy gratious pleasure: and when thine inheritaunce was weery, thou dydst hearten it 10 Thy flocke dwelleth there: for thou O Lorde doest of thy goodnesse prepare for the poore 11 The Lorde gaue the worde: great was the company of the preachers 12 Kynges with their armies dyd flee: they dyd flee, and the ornament of an house deuided the spoyle 13 Though ye haue lyen among the pottes: yet shall ye be as the wynges of a doue that is couered with siluer, and hath her fethers as yelowe as golde 14 When the almightie scattered kynges in it: it was as whyte as snowe in Salmon 15 As the hyll of Basan, so is Gods hill: euen an hygh hyll, as the hyll of Basan 16 Why skyp you so the high hylles? this is the Lordes hyll in the which it pleaseth hym to dwell, yea God wyll abyde in it for euer 17 The charettes of the Lorde are twentie thousande, euen thousandes of angels: and the Lorde is among them in holy Sinai 18 Thou wenst vp on high, thou hast led captiuitie captiue, thou hast receaued gyftes for men: yea euen [for] those that be disobedient, that God the Lorde myght dwell [among them, 19 Blessed be the Lorde who day by day powreth his [benefites] vpon vs: and is God of our saluation. Selah 20 The Lorde is our Lorde for to saue vs: and all maner of wayes for death pertayneth to God the Lorde 21 God wyll wounde the head of his enemies: and the heary scalpe of hym who goeth on styll in his wickednesse 22 The Lorde hath sayde, I wyll bryng [my people] agayne out from Basan: I wyll bryng [them] agayne out from the deepe of the sea 23 That thy footes [and] the tongue of thy dogges: may be made redde in the blood of the enemies by his meanes 24 They do well see O Lorde thy goynges: thy goynges in the sanctuarie my Lorde and kyng 25 The singers go before, the minstrelles folowe after: in the myddest are the damselles playing with the timbrelles 26 In the congregations they do blesse the Lorde: the God of the fountayne of Israel 27 There is litle Beniamin their ruler, & the princes of Iehuda their counsell: the princes of Zabulon [and] the princes of Nepthali 28 Thy Lord hath ordeyned thy strength: establishe the thing O Lorde that thou hast wrought in vs 29 For thy temple sake at Hierusalem: kynges wyll bryng presentes vnto thee 30 Put to rebuke the companie of speare men, a multitude of bulles amongest the people lyke vnto calues: [vntyll] that they brought vnder foote [come] with peeces of siluer [for tribute,] scatter the people that delyght in warre 31 Then shal princes come out of Egypt: Ethiopia in all haste shall stretch out her handes vnto the Lorde 32 Sing vnto the Lord O ye kingdomes of the earth: O syng psalmes vnto the Lorde. Selah 33 Who rydeth vpon the most hyghest eternall heauens: lo he sendeth out a mightie voyce in his voyce 34 Acknowledge the Lorde to be mightie: his maiestie is ouer Israel, & might in the cloudes 35 O Lorde thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel geueth myght and strength vnto his people, Blessed be the Lorde 69 1 Saue me O Lorde: for waters haue entred in vnto my soule 2 I am ouer the head in deepe myre where I feele no grounde: I plunge in deepe waters where the streame ouerwhelmeth me 3 I am weery of crying, my throte is drye: my syght fayleth me through the long attendaunce that I haue geuen vpon my Lorde 4 They that hate me without a cause are mo then the heeres of my head: they that are myne enemies and woulde destroy me giltlesse are mightie, I payde them the thynges that I neuer toke 5 God thou knowest my folly: and my faultes are not hyd from thee 6 Let not them that trust in thee O Lorde God of hoastes, be for my cause ashamed: let not those that seke thee, be through me confounded O Lorde of Israel 7 (69:7a) For thy sake haue I suffered reprofe, shame hath couered my face 8 (69:7b) I am become a straunger vnto my brethren, euen an aliaunt vnto my mothers children 9 (69:8) For the zeale of thine house hath euen eaten me: and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me 10 (69:9) And I wept [chastenyng] my soule with fastyng: and that was turned to my reproofe 11 (69:10) Also I put on sackcloth for my garment: and they iested at me 12 (69:11) They that sit in the gate speake agaynst me: and they that drynke strong drynke [make] songes [vpon me. 13 (69:12) But [I make] my prayer vnto thee O God in an acceptable tyme: heare me O Lord in the multitude of thy mercie, according to the trueth of thy saluation 14 (69:13) Take me out of the myre, that I sincke not: oh let me be delyuered from them that hate me, & out of the deepe waters 15 (69:14) Let not the water fludde drowne me, neither let the deepe swalowe me vp: & let not the pyt shut her mouth vpon me 16 (69:15) Heare me O God, for thy louyng kindnesse is comfortable: turne thee vnto me accordyng vnto the multitude of thy mercies 17 (69:16) And hyde not thy face from thy seruaunt, for I am in trouble: O haste thee [and] heare me 18 (69:17) Draw nigh vnto my soule & redeeme it: for myne enemies sake oh redeeme me 19 (69:18) Thou hast knowen my reproofe, my shame, and my dishonour: myne aduersaries are all in thy syght 20 (69:19) Reproofe hath broke my heart a peeces, I am full of heauinesse: I loked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none, and for some that shoulde comfort me, but I coulde fynde none 21 (69:20) They gaue me for meate, gall to eate: and when I was thirstie, they gaue me vineger to drynke 22 (69:21) Let their table be as a snare before them: and in steade of aboundaunce of peace, let it be a meanes of destruction 23 (69:22) Let their eyes be blynded that they see not: and euer bowe downe their loynes 24 (69:23) Powre out thine indignation vpon them: and let thy wrathfull displeasure take holde of them 25 (69:24) Let their habitation be desolate: and let no man dwell in their tabernacles 26 (69:25) For they persecute hym whom thou hast smitten: and they talke of the griefe of them whom thou hast wounded 27 (69:26) Let them fall from one wickednesse to another: and let them not enter into thy ryghteousnesse 28 (69:27) Let them be wyped out of the booke of the lyuyng: and not to be written among the ryghteous 29 (69:28) As for me I am afflicted and in heauinesse: thy sauing helpe O Lorde shal defende me 30 (69:29) I wyll prayse the name of the Lorde with a song: and magnifie hym with a solemne confession 31 (69:30) And it wyll please God: better then a bullocke that hath hornes and hoofes 32 (69:31) The humble wyll consider this and be glad, such as seke after God: and your soule shall lyue 33 (69:32) For God heareth the poore: & dispiseth not his prisoners 34 (69:33) Let heauen and earth prayse hym: the sea and all that moueth therin 35 (69:34) For the Lorde wyll saue Sion, and builde the cities of Iehuda: that men may dwel there and haue it in possession 36 (69:35) The posteritie also of his seruauntes shall inherite it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therin 70 1 Haste thee O Lorde to delyuer me: make haste to helpe me O God 2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seke after my soule: let them be turned backwarde and be put to confusion that wishe me euyll 3 Let them be returned backwarde: for a rewarde of their shamyng [other] which say, there, there 4 But let all those that seke thee be ioyfull and glad in thee: and let all such as delight in thy saluation say alway, the Lorde be magnified 5 As for me I am poore and in miserie, hasten thee vnto me O Lorde: thou art my ayde and my delyuerer, O God make no long tarying 71 1 (71:1a) In thee O God I haue put my trust, let me neuer be put to confusion 2 (71:1b) ridde me and deliuer me in thy ryghteousnesse, incline thine eare vnto me, and saue me 3 (71:2) Be thou my strong holde whervnto I may alway resort: thou hast geuen a charge to saue me, for thou art my house of defence, and my castell 4 (71:3) Delyuer me O my Lorde out of the hande of the vngodly: out of the hande of the vnryghteous and cruell man 5 (71:4) For thou O Lorde God art the thyng that I long for: thou art my hope euen from my youth 6 (71:5) Through thee haue I ben mayntayned euer since I was borne: thou art he that toke me out of my mothers wombe, my praise shalbe alway of thee 7 (71:6) I am become as it were a monster vnto many: but my sure trust is in thee 8 (71:7) Oh let my mouth be fylled: with thy prayse and glorie all the day long 9 (71:8) Cast me not away in the tyme of age: forsake me not when my strength fayleth me 10 (71:9) For myne enemies speake against me: and they that lay awayte for my soule take their counsayle together 11 (71:10) They say, the Lorde hath forsaken hym: do you persecute hym and take hym, for there is none to delyuer hym 12 (71:11) Go not farre from me O Lorde: haste thee O my Lorde to helpe me 13 (71:12) Let them be confounded, let them be brought to naught that are agaynst my soule: let them be couered with shame and dishonour that seke to do me euyll 14 (71:13) As for me I wyll patiently wayte alway: and I wyll prayse thee more and more 15 (71:14) My mouth shall dayly speake of thy ryghteousnesse and saluation: for I knowe no ende therof 16 (71:15) I wyll go foorth in the strength of the Lorde God: [and] I wyll only make mention of thy ryghteousnesse 17 (71:16) Thou O God hast taught me from my youth: and hytherto I can well declare thy wonderous workes 18 (71:17) Wherfore whylest I am olde and am gray headed: O Lorde forsake me not, vntyll I haue shewed thy arme vnto [this] generation, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come 19 (71:18) And vntyll I [haue] exceedyngly exalted O Lorde thy ryghteousnesse: for great thynges are they that thou hast done, O Lorde who is lyke vnto thee 20 (71:19) Which hast made me to feele many great troubles and aduersities: yet returnyng thou hast reuyued me, yea returnyng thou hast caused me to come out from the bottome of the earth 21 (71:20) Thou hast brought me to greater honour then I had before: & thou returnyng hast comforted me on euery syde 22 (71:21) Therfore I wyll confesse vnto thee thy trueth O Lorde, playing vpon an instrument of musicke: vnto thee I wyl syng psalmes vpon the harpe O thou most holy [God] of Israel 23 (71:22) My lyppes wyll be ioyfull when I syng vnto thee: and so wyll my soule which thou hast redeemed 24 (71:23) My tongue also shal talke of thy righteousnesse all the day long: for they are confounded and brought vnto shame that seke to do me euyll 72 1 O God geue vnto the kyng thy iudgementes: and thy ryghteousnesse vnto the kynges sonne 2 [Then] he wyll iudge thy people accordyng vnto iustice: and thy afflicted accordyng to equitie 3 The mountaynes also and hylles: shall bryng peace to the people by the meanes of ryghteousnesse 4 He wyll iudge the afflicted amongst the people: he wyll saue the children of the poore, and subdue the oppressour 5 They wyll feare thee as long as the sunne and moone shyneth: from one generation to another 6 He wyll come downe lyke the rayne into a fleece of wooll: euen as the droppes that water the earth 7 In his dayes the ryghteous wyll florishe: and there shalbe aboundaunce of peace so long as the moone endureth 8 His dominion also shalbe from the one sea to the other: and from the fludde vnto the ende of the earth 9 They that dwell in the wildernesse shal kneele before him: his enemies shal licke the dust 10 The kyng of Tharsis and of the Iles shall offer presentes: the kynges of Sheba & Seba shall bring giftes 11 All kynges wyll worshyp hym: all nations wyll do hym seruice 12 For he wyll delyuer the poore when he cryeth: and the afflicted and hym that hath no helper 13 He wyll haue compassion vpon the poore and needy: and he wyll preserue the soules of the poore 14 He wyll delyuer their soules from deceipt and oppression: and their blood shalbe in his syght 15 He wyll lyue, and he wyll geue to the poore of the golde of Sheba: and he wyll pray alwayes for hym, and dayly he wyll blesse hym 16 A handfull of corne shall [be sowed] in the earth vpon the toppe of hylles: and the fruite therof shall make a noyse lyke Libanus, and shall florishe in the citie lyke grasse vpon the earth 17 His name shall endure for euer, his name shalbe spread abrode to the world so long as the sunne shall shyne: all nations shalbe blessed in hym, and shall call hym blessed 18 Blessed be God the Lorde: the Lorde of Israel which only doth wonderous thynges 19 (72:19a) And blessed be the name of his maiestie for euer: and all the earth shalbe fylled with his maiestie. Amen, Amen 20 (72:19b) Here endeth the prayers of Dauid the sonne of Isai 73 1 Truely the Lorde is very good vnto Israel: vnto such as haue a cleane heart 2 Neuerthelesse, my feete were almost gone from me: my steppes had almost slypt 3 For I enuied at the case of the foolishe: I sawe the wicked [flowe] in all kynde of prosperitie 4 For there be no bondes of death that can holde them: and the galaries of their houses be strong 5 They come in no misfortune lyke other folke: neither are they plagued lyke other men 6 And this is the cause that pride compasse them rounde about: and crueltie couereth them as a garment 7 Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: and the cogitations of their heartes do passe from them 8 They make other dissolute, they speake oppression with iniurie: they talke proudely and presumptuously 9 For they stretch foorth their mouth vnto the heauen: and their tongue goeth through the worlde 10 Therfore [God] his people turneth thither: and there is drawen vnto them waters in a full [cuppe. 11 And they say, howe shoulde God perceaue it? is there knowledge in the most hyghest 12 Lo these vngodly and fortunate in the worlde: do possesse riches 13 Truely I haue cleansed my heart in vayne: and wasshed my handes in innocencie 14 All the day long I haue ben scourged: and chastened euery mornyng 15 If I shoulde say that I woulde iudge after this sort: lo then I shoulde condempne the generation of thy children 16 Therfore I considered howe I might vnderstande this: but it was to paynefull in myne eyes 17 Untyll I went vnto the sanctuarie of God: and vnderstood the ende of them 18 Truely thou doest set them in slippery places: and castest them downe headlong for to be destroyed 19 Oh howe be they brought to a destruction euen vpon a sodayne: they faynt, they consume away for very dread 20 They be as a dreame to a man after he is once waked: O Lorde thou wylt cause their image to be dispised in the citie 21 Ueryly thus was my heart inflamed: thus was my reynes pricked 22 So foolishe was I and voyde of vnderstanding: I was euen a bruite beast before thee 23 Neuerthelesse I am alway with thee: for thou hast holden me by my ryght hande 24 Thou hast guyde me with thy counsayle: and after that thou receauedst me with glorie 25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee 26 My fleshe and my heart fayleth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer 27 For lo, they that kepe them selues a loofe from thee shall perishe: thou destroyest euery one that committeth fornication agaynst thee 28 But it is good for me to come neare vnto God: [wherfore] I put my trust in thee O Lorde God, that I may declare all thy workes 74 1 O Lorde wherfore dost thou forsake vs altogether? wherfore breaketh foorth thy anger agaynst the sheepe of thy pasture 2 Remember thy congregation, thou hast possest it nowe a long tyme: thou hast redeemed the rodde of thine inheritaunce, euen mount Sion wherein thou dwellest 3 Lyft vp thy feete for to destroy vtterly euery enemie: which hath done euyll in thy sanctuarie 4 Thyne aduersaries roare in the myddest of thy congregations: and set vp their banners for signes [of victorie. 5 He that hewed tymber afore out of thicke woddes [for to builde the temple:] was esteemed as one offeryng a present [to God] aboue 6 But nowe they breake downe into peeces all the carued worke therof: with axes and hammers 7 They haue set fire on thy holy places: they haue defiled the dwellyng place of thy name [castyng it downe] to the groud 8 Yea, they sayde in their heartes, let vs make hauocke of them altogether: thus haue they burnt vp all the houses of God in the lande 9 We see not our ensignes, there is not one prophete more: no not one is there amongst vs that vnderstandeth our case 10 O Lorde shall the aduersarie do this dishonour continually? shall the enemie blaspheme thy name for euer 11 Why withdrawest thou thy hande, yea thy right hande? consume [them, drawing] it out of thy bosome 12 Truely God is my kyng of olde: who worketh saluation in the myddest of the earth 13 Thou didst deuide the sea through thy power: thou brakest the heades of the dragons in the waters 14 Thou smotest the heades of Leuiathan in peeces: and gauest hym to be meate for the people in wildernesse 15 Thou broughtest out fountaynes and waters out of the harde rockes: thou dyddest drye vp mightie waters 16 The day is thine, & the nyght is thine: thou hast prepared the light & the sunne 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast ordeyned summer and wynter 18 Remember this O God, the enemie hath dishonoured: and the foolishe people hath blasphemed thy name 19 O deliuer not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto a wylde beast: forget not the congregation of the poore for euer 20 Loke vpon the couenaunt: for darknesse of the earth hath replenisshed houses with iniquitie 21 O let not the simple go away ashamed: but let the afflicted & needy geue prayse vnto thy name 22 Arise O Lord, mayntayne thine owne cause: remember the dishonour that the foolishe man [doth] vnto thee dayly 23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: the mutteryng of them that hate thee ascendeth vp continually 75 1 We do confesse it vnto thee O lord, we do confesse it: for thy wonderous workes do declare thy name to be at hande 2 When I shall take tyme fyt for the purpose: I wyll iudge accordyng vnto ryght 3 The earth wasteth and all the inhabitours therof: I haue vpholded the pyllours of it. Selah 4 I sayd vnto fooles deale not so madly: & to the vngodly set not vp your horne 5 Set not vp your horne an high: [and] speake [not] with a stiffe necke 6 Because promotion commeth neither from the east nor from the west: nor yet from the south 7 For God is the iudge: it is he that putteth downe one, and setteth vp another 8 For in the hande of God there is a cup, and the wine is redde: it is full mixt, and he powreth out the same. (75:9) But the vngodly of the earth do wring out: and drynke the dregges therof 9 (75:10) As for me I wyll euer set foorth in wordes [the Lorde]: I wyll sing psalmes to the God of Iacob 10 (75:11) And I wyll breake all the hornes of the vngodly: but the hornes of the ryghteous shalbe exalted 76 1 In Iurie is God knowen: his name is great in Israel 2 At Shalem is his tabernacle: and his dwellyng in Sion 3 There he brake the arrowes of the bowe: the shielde, the sworde, and the battayle. Selah 4 Thou art honourable: and of more puissaunce then the mountaynes of robbers 5 The hygh couragious stomackes are spoyled, they haue slept their slepe: and the valiaunt souldiours coulde not finde their owne handes 6 At thy rebuke O God of Iacob: both the charet and horse be brought to naught 7 Thou, euen thou art dreadfull: and who may stande in thy syght when thou [begynnest] to be angry 8 Thou causest thy iudgement to be hearde from heauen: then the earth trembleth, and is styll 9 When God ariseth to iudgement: and to helpe all the afflicted vpon the earth. Selah 10 The fearcenesse of man shall turne to thy prayse: [and] the remnaunt of the fearcenesse thou wylt restrayne 11 Make vowes vnto God your Lorde, & perfourme them all ye that be rounde about hym: bryng presentes vnto hym that is dreadfull 12 He abateth the spirite of princes: he is dreadfull to the kynges of the earth 77 1 My voyce was vnto the Lorde, and I cryed: my voyce was vnto the Lord, and he hearkened vnto me 2 In the tyme of my trouble I sought the Lorde: my hande all the nyght catched & ceassed not, my soule refused comfort 3 I called to remembraunce God, and I was disquieted: I conferred with my selfe, and my spirite was wrapped in pensiuenesse. Selah 4 Thou dydst kepe the watche of mine eies: I was amased & coulde not speake 5 I dyd thynke vpon the dayes past: and on the yeres of the olde worlde 6 I called to remembraunce my psalme, song on the musicall instrument in the nyght tyme: I communed with myne owne heart, & searched out my spirites 7 What, wyll the Lorde forsake me for euer? wyll he be no more intreated to be fauourable 8 Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? and is his promise made from one generation to another, come vtterly to an ende 9 Hath God forgotten to be gratious? and will he shut vp his louing kindnesse in displeasure? Selah 10 And I sayde, this is my death: but the ryght hande of the most hyghest [may graunt] me yeres 11 I dyd call to remebraunce the workes of God almightie: for thy wonders done a great whyle a goe came into my mynde 12 I also gaue my selfe to muse of all thy workes: and I talked of all thy actes 13 Thy way O Lorde is in holynesse: who is so great a God as the Lorde 14 Thou art the God that doth wonders: thou hast made thy power knowen among the people 15 Thou hast redeemed thy people with a [mightie] arme: the sonnes of Iacob and Ioseph. Selah 16 The waters sawe thee O God, the waters sawe thee, they feared: yea the depthes of them moued out of their place 17 Thicke cloudes powred downe rayne, thinne cloudes gaue a noyse: and thine arrowes went abrode into al corners 18 The sounde of thy thunder was rounde about the [sky]: the lightnynges shone through the worlde, the earth quaked and trembled 19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy pathes in the great waters: and thy footesteppes are not knowen 20 Thou dydst leade thy people lyke sheepe: by the hande of Moyses and Aaron 78 1 Heare my lawe O my people: enclyne your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth 2 I wyll open my mouth in a parable: I wyll declare harde sentences of the olde tyme past 3 Which we haue hearde and knowen: and such as our fathers haue tolde vs 4 We wyll not hyde them from their children: nay we wyll set foorth in wordes to the generation to come, the prayses of God, and his myght and wonderfull workes that he hath done 5 For he reuiued a statute in Iacob, and gaue Israel a lawe: in the whiche he commaunded our forefathers to teache their children 6 To the intent the posteritie shoulde knowe it, [and] children whiche shalbe borne: that they shoulde ryse vp and declare it to their children 7 That they shoulde put their trust in God, and not forget the workes of God: but kepe his commaundementes 8 And that they be not as their forefathers [were] a rebellious and a mutable generation: a generation that directed not their heart aright, and whose spirite cleaued not stedfastly vnto God 9 [Like as] the children of Ephraim, which beyng harnessed & carying bowes: turned their backes in the day of battayle 10 They kept not the couenaunt of God: and they woulde not walke in his law 11 But they forgat his workes: and his wonders which he had shewed them 12 Marueylous thinges dyd he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the fielde of Zoan 13 He deuided the sea and let them go thorowe: he made the waters to stande as on an heape 14 In the day time also he led them with a cloude: and all the night through with a light of fire 15 He cloued the harde rockes in the wildernes: & gaue them drinke therof, as it had ben out of the great deepe waters 16 He brought running streames out of a stonie rocke: and caused waters to gushe downe, like as out of riuers 17 Yet for all this they sinned still against hym: so that they prouoked the most hyghest in the wildernesse 18 And they temped god in their heartes: in requiring meate for their lust 19 They spake against God: they said, can God prepare a table in the wildernesse 20 Beholde, he hath smytten the stonie rocke, and waters haue gushed out, and streames haue flowed out aboundantly: but can he likewise geue bread, can he prouide fleshe for his people 21 Wherefore God hearde [them,] he was wroth, a fire was kindled in Iacob: and there arose vp heauy displeasure against Israel 22 Because they beleued not in the Lord: nor did put their trust in his saluation 23 And yet he commaunded the cloudes aboue: and opened the doores of heauen 24 He raigned downe Manna also vpon them, that they shoulde eate: and gaue them corne from heauen 25 [So] man dyd eate the bread of angels: he sent them meate inough 26 He remoued the east winde from vnder the heauen: and through his power he brought in the south winde 27 He rained fleshe vpon them as thycke as dust: and fethered foules like as the sande of the sea 28 He let it fall among their tentes: euen rounde about their pauilions 29 So they dyd eate and were wel filled, for he gaue them their owne desire: neuerthelesse they were not alienated from their lust 30 But whyle the meate was yet in their mouthes, the heauy wrath of God came vpon them, and slue the welthyest of them: and made the chosen men of Israel to stoupe 31 For all this they sinned still: and beleued not his wonderous workes 32 Therfore their dayes dyd he consume in vanitie: & their yeres in a short [troublous] time 33 When he slue them, they sought hym: they repented them, and made God their morninges worke 34 And they remembred that the Lorde was their rocke: & that the Lorde most hyghest was their redeemer 35 Neuerthelesse they dyd but flatter him with their mouth: and they made hym a lye with their tongue 36 For their heart was not vpright with him: neither continued they faythfull in his couenaunt 37 Yet for all that he beyng most merciful: cleane pardoned all their misdeedes, and destroyed them not 38 Yea many a tyme he dyd much for to represse his anger: and neuer woulde suffer his whole rage to breake out 39 For he considered that they were but fleshe, and that they were euen a winde that passeth away & cometh not againe 40 How oft dyd they prouoke hym in the wildernes: & greeued hym in the desert 41 They turned backe and tempted the Lorde: and prescribed boundes to the most holy [God] of Israel 42 They thought not of his hande: in the day when he redeemed them from the enemie 43 Howe he had wrought his miracles in Egypt: and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan 44 For he turned into blood their riuers & fluddes: so that they might not drinke 45 He sent amongst them all kind of flyes who dyd eate them: and frogges who destroyed them 46 He gaue their fruites vnto the caterpiller: & their labour to the grashopper 47 He destroyed their vines with hayle stones: and their wilde figge trees with the harde frost 48 He smote their cattell also with haylestones: and their flockes with thunder boltes 49 He cast vpon them the rage of his furie, anger, disdayne, and trouble: by sending foorth euill angels amongst them 50 He made away to his indignation, & spared not their soule from death: he gaue their lyfe to be subiect to the pestilence 51 And he smote all the first borne of Egypt: the first fruites of concupiscence in the pauilions of Cham 52 But as for his owne people, he led them foorth like sheepe: and conducted them through the wildernesse like a flocke of cattell 53 He brought them out safely that they shoulde not feare: and ouerwhelmed their enemies with the sea 54 And brought them within the borders of his sanctuarie: euen to this mountayne which his right hand purchased 55 He dyd cast out the heathen also before them: he caused their land to be deuided among the for an heritage, & made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tentes 56 Neuerthelesse, they tempted and displeased the most hyghest Lorde: & kept not his testimonies 57 They turned backewarde, and they went astray like their forefathers: they started aside like a bowe that breaketh 58 For they stirred hym to anger with their hygh places: and prouoked him to ielousie with their carued images 59 When the Lorde hearde this, he was wroth: & toke sore displeasure at Israel 60 So that he forsoke the tabernacle in Silo: the pauilion [wherin] he dwelt amongst men 61 He deliuered his force into captiuitie: and his glorie into the enemies hande 62 He gaue also his people ouer to the sword: and was wroth with his inheritaunce 63 Fire consumed his young men: and his maydens were not maryed 64 His priestes were slayne with the sworde: and his wydowes made no lamentation 65 But the Lorde awaked as though he had slept: like a giaunt making a triumphant noyse after wine 66 He smote his enemies in the hynder parts: & put them to a perpetual shame 67 He refused the tabernacle of Ioseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim 68 But he chose the tribe of Iuda: euen the hill of Sion which he loued 69 And there he buylded his temple on high: and layde the foundation of it like a grounde euer to continue 70 He chose also Dauid his seruaunt: and toke hym away from the sheepefoldes 71 As he was folowing the ewes great with young he toke hym: that he might feede Iacob his people, and Israel his inheritaunce 72 So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart: and guided them by the discretion of his handes 79 1 O Lord, the heathen are come into thyne inheritaunce: they haue defiled thy holy temple, they haue made Hierusale an heape [of stones 2 They haue geuen the dead bodies of thy seruauntes to be meate vnto the foules of the ayre: and the fleshe of thy saintes vnto the beastes of the lande 3 They haue shed their blood like water on euery syde of Hierusalem: and there is none to burie them 4 We are become an open shame vnto our neyghbours: a very scorne and derision vnto them that are rounde about vs 5 O God, howe long wylt thou be angry? shall thy ielousie burne lyke fire for euer 6 Powre out thine indignation vpon the Heathen that haue not knowen thee: and vpon the kingdomes that haue not called vpon thy name 7 For they haue deuoured Iacob: and layde waste his dwelling place 8 O remember not against vs sinnes that be past, with all speede let thy tender mercy preuent vs: for we are brought very lowe 9 Helpe vs O Lord of our saluation for the glory of thy name: deliuer vs, and be mercyfull vnto our sinnes for thy names sake 10 Wherefore do the Heathen say, where is nowe their God? let the vengeaunce of thy seruauntes blood that is shed, be [openly knowen] amongst the Heathen in our sight 11 Let the sorowfull sighing of the prisoners come before thee, accordyng vnto the greatnes of thy power: preserue thou those that [are] appoynted to dye 12 And rewarde thou our neighbours seuen folde into their bosome: their blasphemie wherewith they haue blasphemed thee O God 13 So we who be thy people and sheepe of thy pasture wyll confesse thee for euer: and we wyll alway set foorth in wordes thy prayse, from generation to generation 80 1 Heare O thou shephearde of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph lyke a sheepe: and thou that sittest vpon the Cherubims, shew thy gratious presence 2 Before Ephraim, Beniamin, and Manasses: stirre vp thy strength, and come for to saue vs 3 Turne vs agayne O Lorde: shewe the light of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe saued 4 O God, Lorde of hoastes: howe long wylt thou be angry at the prayer of thy people 5 Thou feedest them with the bread of teares: and geuest them plenteously teares to drinke 6 Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh vs to scorne 7 Turne vs agayne thou Lorde of hoastes: shewe the light of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe saued 8 Thou dydst translate a vine out of Egypt: thou didst cast out the Heathen, and planted it 9 Thou madst roome before it: thou causedst it to take roote, and it hath filled the lande 10 The hilles were couered with her shadowe: and goodly high Cedar trees with her bowes 11 She stretched out her braunches vnto the sea: and her bowes vnto the riuer 12 Why hast thou then broken downe her hedge: that all they whiche go by plucke of her grapes 13 The wylde bore out of the wood rooteth it vp: and the wylde beast of the fielde deuoureth it 14 (80:14a) Turne thee agayne thou God of hoastes I pray thee: loke downe from heauen, beholde and visite this vin 15 (80:14b) and vineyarde that thy ryght hande hath planted, and the young braunche which thou hast fortified for thy selfe 16 (80:15) It is brent with fire and cut downe: they shall perishe at the rebuke of thy countenaunce 17 (80:16) Let thy hande be vpon the man of thy right hande: and vpon the sonne of man whom thou hast fortified for thyne owne selfe 18 (80:17) And so we wyll not go backe from thee: thou shalt reuiue vs, and we wyll call vpon thy name 19 (80:18) Turne vs agayne O God, Lorde of hoastes: shewe the light of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe saued 81 1 Sing we meryly vnto the Lorde our strength: make a chearefull noyse vnto the Lorde of Iacob 2 Take the psalterie: bryng hyther the tabret, the merie harpe, with the lute 3 Blowe vp the trumpet in the newe moone, euen in the time appointed: and vpon our solempne feast day 4 For this was made a statute for Israel: and a lawe of the God of Iacob 5 This he ordayned in Ioseph for a testimonie, when he came out of the lande of Egypt: [where] I hearde a tongue [whiche] I knewe not 6 I eased his shoulder from the burthen: and his handes ceassed from making pottes 7 Thou calledst vpon me in troubles, and I deliuered thee: I hearde thee out of the middest of a thunder, I proued thee also at the waters of strife. Selah 8 [Then I sayd] heare O my people: and I wyll geue thee a charge O Israel in protesting vnto thee 9 If thou wylt hearken vnto me, there shall be no straunge God in thee: neither shalt thou geue worship to any other Lorde beside me 10 I am God thy Lorde which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wyde, and I wyll fill it 11 But my people woulde not heare my voyce: and Israel would not [obey] me 12 So I gaue them vp vnto the wicked cogitations of their owne heartes: and I did let them folowe their owne imaginations 13 O that my people woulde haue hearkened vnto me: O that Israel had walked in my wayes 14 I should soone haue tamed their enemies: and turned myne hande against their aduersaries 15 The haters of God shoulde haue ben founde liers: and their time should haue endured for euer 16 He woulde haue fed them also with the finest wheate flowre: and I would haue satisfied thee with honie out of the stonie rocke 82 1 God standeth in the congregation of God: he iudgeth in the midst of God 2 Howe long wyll ye geue wrong iudgement: and accept the persons of the vngodly? Selah 3 Iudge ryght vnto the poore and fatherlesse: dispatch according to iustice suche as be afflicted and in necessitie 4 Deliuer the poore and outcast: saue them from the hande of the vngodly 5 They knowe nothyng, they vnderstande nothing: they walke on styll in darknesse, [wherfore] all the foundations of the earth be out of course 6 I haue sayde ye are gods: and ye all are chyldren of the most highest 7 But ye shall dye lyke as a man [doth:] and princes them selues shall fall away lyke as other [do. 8 Arise O God, and iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt take all Heathen to thine inheritaunce 83 1 Holde not thy tongue O Lorde: kepe not styll scilence, refraine not thy selfe O Lorde 2 For beholde, thyne enemies make an vprore: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp their head 3 They haue deuised shrewde counsell against thy people: and they haue consulted against thyne, whom thou defendest 4 They haue said, come, and let vs roote them out, that they be no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembraunce 5 For they haue conspired all in one minde: & are confederate against thee 6 The pauilions of Edom and the Ismaelites: of Moab, and Hagerites 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec: the Philistines with the inhabitauntes of Tyre 8 Assur also is ioyned vnto them: they were a great ayde to the chyldren of Lot. Selah 9 But do thou vnto them, as vnto Midian: as vnto Sisera, as vnto Iabin at the brooke Kishon 10 Whiche perished at Ein Dor: and became as the doung of the earth 11 Make them, their princes, [and] al their captaynes: lyke Oreb, and lyke Zeeb, and lyke Salmunna 12 Whiche sayd, let vs take to our selues: the houses of God in possession 13 O my Lorde, make them lyke vnto a wheele: and as chaffe before the winde 14 Lyke as a fire that burneth vp the wood: and as the flambe that consumeth the mountaynes 15 Persecute them euen so with thy tempest: and make them afrayde with thy storme 16 Make shame to appeare in their faces: that they may seeke thy name O God 17 Let them be confounded and astonied with feare euer more & more: let them be put to shame, and perishe 18 And let them knowe that thou in thy name God eternall art only: O thou the most highest ouer all the earth 84 1 O how amiable are thy dwellinges: thou God of hoastes 2 My soule hath a desire and a longing to enter into the courtes of God: my heart and my flesh leapeth with ioy for to go to the liuing Lorde 3 Yea the sparowe hath founde her an house, and the swallowe a nest: where she may lay her young: euen thy aulters O God of hoastes, my king & my Lord 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they wyll be alway praysyng thee. Selah 5 Blessed is that man whose strength is in thee: [thy] wayes are in their heart 6 They iourneying through the vale of teares: (yea when euery cesterne [at their name] is filled with water) do accept it for a [fayre pleasaunt] well 7 They wyl set forward from a stoute courage to a stoute courage: that the God of Gods may be seene of them in Sion 8 O God Lorde of hoastes heare my prayer: geue eare O God of Iacob. Selah 9 Beholde O Lorde our shielde: and loke vpon the face of thyne annointed 10 For one day in thy courtes, is better then a thousande [els where]: I had rather be a doore keper in the house of my God, then to dwell in [large] tabernacles of vngodlynes 11 For God the Lorde is a sunne and a shielde: God geueth grace and worship, he withholdeth no good thyng from them that liue in any perfection 12 O God of hoastes: blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee 85 1 O God, thou art become gracious vnto thy land: thou hast brought Iacob agayne home out of captiuitie 2 Thou hast forgeuen the wickednes of thy people: and couered all their sinnes. Selah 3 Thou hast taken away al thy displeasure: and turned thy selfe from thy wrathfull indignation 4 Turne vs O God of our saluation: and let thyne anger ceasse from vs 5 Wilt thou be displeased at vs for euer? and wylt thou stretche out thy wrath from one generation to another 6 Wylt thou not turne agayne and reuiue vs: that thy people may reioyce in thee 7 Shew vs thy louing kindnes O God: and graunt vs thy saluation 8 I wyll hearken what God the Lord saith: for he speaketh peace vnto his people & to his saintes, that they turne not agayne to folly 9 For truely his saluation is nye them that feare him: insomuch that glory dwelleth in our earth 10 Mercy and trueth are met together: righteousnes and peace haue kissed [eche other. 11 Trueth shall bud out of the earth: and ryghteousnes shall looke downe from heauen 12 Yea, God shall geue all that is good: and our earth shall geue her encrease 13 [Euery man] shall cause righteousnes to go before him: and he shall direct his steppes in the way 86 1 Bow downe thine eare O God, and heare me: for I am poore and in miserie 2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am holy: my God saue thy seruaunt that putteth his trust in thee 3 Be mercifull vnto me O God: for I do call dayly vpon thee 4 Comfort the soule of thy seruaunt: for vnto thee O Lord do I lift vp my soule 5 For thou Lorde art good and gracious: and of great mercy vnto all them that call vpon thee 6 Geue eare O God vnto my prayer: and be attentiue vnto the voyce of my humble petitions 7 I call vpon thee in the day of my trouble: for thou hearest me 8 Among the gods there is none like vnto thee O Lorde: there is not one that can do as thou doest 9 All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and worship thee O Lorde: and shall glorifie thy name 10 For thou art great and doest wonderous thinges: thou art God alone 11 Teache me thy way O God, and I wyll walke in thy trueth: make my heart all one with thyne, that it may feare thy name 12 I wyll acknowledge thee O Lorde my God with all my heart: and I wyl glorifie thy name for euer 13 For great is thy mercy towarde me: and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest [part of] hell 14 O God, the proude are rysen against me: a companie of outragious naughtipackes haue sought after my soule, and haue not set thee before their eyes 15 But thou O Lorde art a God full of compassion and mercy: long yet thou be angry, plenteous in goodnes and trueth 16 Turne thy face vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: geue thy strength vnto thy seruaunt, and helpe the sonne of thine handmayde 17 Shewe some good token of thy fauour towardes me, that they whiche hate me may see it and be ashamed: because thou God hast helped me, and comforted me 87 1 (87:1b) [for] her foundations are vpon the holy hilles 2 (87:1a) God loueth the gates of Sion more then all the dwellynges of Iacob 3 (87:2) Uery excellent thinges are spoken of thee: O thou citie of God. Selah 4 (87:3) I wyll make mention amongst those that knowe me, of Egypt and Babylon: behold also of Palestina and Tyre, with Ethiopia, [and it shalbe sayde] suche a man is borne there 5 (87:4) But of Sion it shalbe reported, that very many be borne in her: and the most highest him selfe shall establishe her 6 (87:5) God wyll number in the register of the people: euery one that is borne there. Selah 7 (87:6) And the singers aswell as the players of instrumentes: yea al my fountaines are in thee 88 1 (88:1a) O God the Lorde of my saluation, I crye day and night before thee 2 (88:1b) let my prayer enter into thy presence, encline thyne eare vnto my crying 3 (88:2) For my soule is full of miserie: and my life toucheth the graue 4 (88:3) I am counted as one of them that go downe vnto the pit: and I am nowe become a man that hath no strength 5 (88:4) I am free among the dead: like such as beyng kylled lye in a graue, whom thou remembrest no more, and are cut away from thy hande 6 (88:5) Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit: in darknes and in deepenes 7 (88:6) Thyne indignation sore presseth me: and thou hast vexed me with all thy stormes. Selah 8 (88:7) Thou hast put away myne acquaintaunce farre from me, and made me to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, I can not get foorth 9 (88:8) My sight fayleth through my affliction O God: I haue called dayly vpon thee, I haue stretched out mine handes vnto thee 10 (88:9) Wylt thou worke a miracle amongst the dead? or shal the dead rise vp againe [and] acknowledge thee? Selah 11 (88:10) Shall thy louing kindnes be talked of in the graue? or thy faythfulnes in destruction 12 (88:11) Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the lande of forgetfulnes 13 (88:12) But vnto thee do I crye O God: and my prayer commeth early in the morning before thee 14 (88:13) O God, why abhorrest thou my soule: and [why] hidest thou thy face from me 15 (88:14) I am in miserie, I labour euen from my youth with the panges of death: I haue suffered thy terrours, [and] I am styll in doubt 16 (88:15) Thyne indignation hath gone ouer me: and thy terrours haue vndone me 17 (88:16) They came rounde about me dayly lyke water: and compassed me altogether on euery syde 18 (88:17) Thou hast put a way farre from me my frende and neighbour: [thou hast hid] mine acquaintaunce out of sight 89 1 I wyll sing alwayes of the mercy of God: with my mouth I wyll make knowen thy trueth from one generation to another 2 For I sayde, mercy shall for euer endure: thou hast established thy trueth in the heauens 3 I haue made a couenaunt with my chosen: I haue sworne vnto Dauid my seruaunt 4 I wyll establishe thy seede for euer: and buylde vp thy throne from generation to generation. Selah 5 O God, the very heauens shall confesse thy wonderous workes: and thy trueth in the congregation of saintes 6 For who is he in the cloudes that shal matche God: [and who] is like vnto God amongst the children gods 7 God is very terrible in the assemblie of saintes: and to be feared aboue al them that are about him 8 O God, Lorde of hoastes, who is like vnto thee a most mightie Lorde: and thy trueth is on euery side thee 9 Thou rulest the ragyng of the sea: when her waues aryse, thou delayest them 10 Thou hast brought Egypt in so bad a case as if it were wounded: thou hast scattered thyne enemies abrode with thy mightie arme 11 The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the rounde worlde, and of all the plentie that is therin 12 Thou hast made the north and the south: Tabor and Hermon do reioyce in thy name 13 Thou hast a mightie arme: thy hand is strong, and thy right hand is exalted 14 Iustice and iudgement is the foundation of thy throne: mercy and trueth shall go before thy face 15 Blessed is the people that knoweth a triumphant noyse: O God, they shall walke in the light of thy countenaunce 16 They shall make them selues merie dayly in thy name: and in thy righteousnes they shall exalt them selues 17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy louing kindnes thou wylt lift vp our hornes 18 For our shielde is of God: and our king is of the most holy of Israel 19 Thou hast spoken somtimes in visions vnto thy saintes: and hast sayde, I haue added ayde vpon the mightie, I haue exalted one chose out of the people 20 I haue founde Dauid my seruaunt: I haue annoynted him with myne holye oyle 21 Therfore my hande shalbe assured vnto him: and mine arme shall strengthen hym 22 The enemie shal not be able to do him violence: the sonne of wickednesse shall not afflict hym 23 I wyll breake into peeces his foes before his face: and ouerthrowe them that hate hym 24 My trueth also and my mercy shalbe with hym: and in my name shall his horne be exalted 25 I wyll set also his dominion in the sea: and his right hande in the fluddes 26 He shall make inuocation vnto me: [saying] thou art my father O my God, and my fortresse of saluation 27 And I will make him my first borne: in higher state then kinges of the earth 28 My mercy wyll I kepe for hym euermore: and my couenaunt shal stand fast with hym 29 His seede also wyll I make to endure for euer: and his throne as the dayes of heauen 30 (89:30a) But if his chyldren forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgement 31 (89:30b) if they breake my statutes, and kepe not my commaundementes 32 (89:31) I will then visite their transgressions with a rodde: and their wickednesse with stripes 33 (89:32) Neuerthelesse, my louyng kyndnesse I wyll not take vtterly from hym: I wyl not breake my promise with hym 34 (89:33) I wyll not violate my couenaunt: nor alter the thyng that is gone out of my lyppes 35 (89:34) I haue sworne once by my holynesse: that I wyll not speake an vntrueth vnto Dauid 36 (89:35) His seede shall endure for euer: and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me 37 (89:36) [And] as the moone which shall continue for euermore: and shalbe a faithful witnesse in heauen. Selah 38 (89:37) But thou hast abhorred & forsake thine annoynted: & art sore displeased at him 39 (89:38) Thou hast broken the couenaunt of thy seruaunt: thou hast disgraced his crowne, [castyng it] on the grounde 40 (89:39) Thou hast ouerthrowe all his walles: and broken downe his strong holdes 41 (89:40) All they that go by the way spoyle hym: he is become a rebuke vnto his neyghbours 42 (89:41) Thou hast exalted the ryght hande of his enemies: and made all his aduersaries to reioyce 43 (89:42) Thou hast turned the harde edge of his sworde: and thou hast not lifted him vp in the battayle 44 (89:43) Thou hast brought his noble estate to an ende: and hast cast his throne downe to the grounde 45 (89:44) Thou hast shortened the dayes of his youth: and thou hast couered him with shame. Selah 46 (89:45) O God howe long wylt thou hyde thy selfe? for euer? shall thy wrath burne lyke fire 47 (89:46) Remember what I am, howe short my tyme is of lyfe: wherfore hast thou created in vayne all the sonnes of men 48 (89:47) What man is he that lyueth and shall not see death? can he delyuer his owne soule from the hande of hell? Selah 49 (89:48) Lorde where are become thy former olde louyng kyndnesses: [which] thou dydst sweare vnto Dauid by thy fayth [that thou wouldest perfourme. 50 (89:49) Remember O Lorde the dishonour of thy seruauntes: I beare in my bosome [the dishonour of] all people that be mightie 51 (89:50) Who beyng thine enemies O God do dishonour: who do dishonour the footsteppes of thine annoynted 52 (89:51) Blessed be God for euermore: so be it, and so be it 90 1 Lorde thou hast ben our habitation: from one generation to another generation 2 Before the moutaynes were brought foorth, or euer the earth & the worlde were made: thou art God both from euerlastyng, and also vntyll euerlastyng 3 Thou turnest man most miserable euen vnto dust: thou sayest also, O ye children of men returne you into dust 4 For a thousande yeres in thy syght are but as yestarday that is past: and as a watch in the nyght 5 Thou makest them to flowe away, they are a sleepe: they be in the morning as an hearbe that groweth 6 In the mornyng it florisheth and groweth vp: in the euenyng it is cut downe and wythered 7 For we be consumed through thy displeasure: and we are astonyed through thy wrathfull indignation 8 Thou hast set our misdeedes before thee: and our sinnes wherof we be not priuie, in the lyght of thy countenaunce 9 For all our dayes do passe in thine anger: we spende our yeres as [in speaking] a worde 10 The dayes of our yeres be in all threescore yeres and tenne, and yf through strength [of nature] men come to foure score yeres: yet is their iolitie but labour and care, yea moreouer it passeth in haste from vs, and we flee from it 11 Who regardeth the force of thy wrath? for euen there after as a man feareth thee, so [feeleth he] thy displeasure 12 Make vs to knowe so our dayes, that we number them: and we wyll frame a heart [vnto] wisdome 13 Turne agayne O God (what, for euer [wylt thou be angry?]) and be gratious vnto thy seruauntes 14 Replenishe vs early in the mornyng with thy mercie: and we wyll crye out for ioy, and be glad all the dayes of our lyfe 15 Make vs mery accordyng to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs: and accordyng to the yeres wherin we haue suffred aduersitie 16 Let thy worke appeare in thy seruauntes: and thy glory in their children 17 And let the glorious maiestie of the Lorde our God be vpon vs: and prosper thou the worke of our handes vpon vs, O prosper thou our handy worke 91 1 Whosoeuer sitteth vnder the couer of the most highest: he shal abide vnder the shadowe of the almightie 2 I wyll say vnto God, thou art my hope and my fortresse: my Lorde, in whom I wyll trust 3 For he wyll delyuer thee from the snare of the hunter: and from the noysome pestilence 4 He wyll couer thee vnder his wynges, & thou shalt be safe vnder his fethers: his faythfulnesse shalbe thy shielde and buckler 5 Thou shalt not be afrayde of any terrour of the nyght: nor of any arrowe that sleeth by day 6 Nor of any pestilence that walketh in the darknesse: nor of any deadly fyt that destroyeth at hygh noone 7 A thousande shall fall beside thee, and ten thousande at thy ryght hande: but it shall not come nygh thee 8 Thou only with thine eyes shalt beholde: & see the rewarde of the vngodly 9 For thou O God art my hope: thou hast set thine habitation very hygh 10 There shall no euyll lyght on thee: neither shall any plague come nye thy dwellyng 11 For he wyll geue his angels charge ouer thee: to kepe thee in all thy wayes 12 They wyll beare thee in [their] handes: that thou hurt not thy foote agaynst a stone 13 Thou shalt set thy foote vppon the Lion and Adder: the young Lion and the Dragon thou shalt treade vnder thy feete 14 Because he hath set greatly his loue vpon me, therfore wyll I deliuer hym: I wyll set hym vp out of all daunger, because he hath knowen my name 15 He shall call vpon me, and I wyll heare hym: yea I am with hym in trouble, I wyll deliuer hym, and bryng hym to honour 16 I wyll satisfie hym with a long lyfe: and I wyll cause hym to see my saluation 92 1 It is a good thyng to confesse vnto God: and to syng psalmes vnto thy name O thou most hyghest 2 To set foorth in wordes thy louyng kyndnesse early in the mornyng: and thy trueth in the nyght season 3 Upon an instrument of ten strynges, and vpon the Lute: vpon the Harpe with a solemne sounde 4 For thou God hast made me glad thorowe thy workes: I do reioyce in the workes of thy handes 5 O God howe glorious are thy workes? thy thoughtes are very depe 6 An vnwise man doth not consider this: and a foole doth not vnderstande it 7 Wheras the vngodly do bud vp greene as the grasse, and wheras all workers of iniquitie do florishe: that they [notwithstandyng] shalbe destroyed for euer and euer 8 But thou O God: art the most highest for euermore 9 For lo, thine enemies O God, lo thine enemies shall perishe: & all the workers of wickednesse shalbe destroyed 10 But my horne shalbe exalted lyke the horne of an vnicorne: for I am annoynted with excellent oyle 11 And myne eye shall see those that lye in wayte for me: myne eare shall heare the malitious persons that rise vp agaynst me 12 The ryghteous shall florishe lyke a paulme tree: and shall spread abroade like a Cedar in Libanus 13 Such as be planted in the house of God: shall florishe in the courtes of our Lorde 14 They shall styll bryng foorth fruite in their age: they shalbe fat and florishyng 15 For to set foorth in wordes that God is vpright: he is my rocke, and no iniquitie is in hym 93 1 God raigneth, he is clothed with a glorious maiestie, God is clothed with strength: he hath girded hym selfe, he hath made the worlde so sure that it can not be moued 2 Euer since the [worlde] began, thy throne hath ben set sure: thou art from euerlastyng 3 The fluddes are risen O God, the fluddes haue lyft vp their noyse: the fluddes haue lyft vp their waues 4 God which is on high, is more puissaut then the noyse of many waters: then the mightie waues of the sea 5 Thy testimonies are most certayne: holynesse is an ornament to thine house O God in all tymes 94 1 O God the Lord of [all] auengeaunce: the Lorde of [all] auengeaunce shewe thy [glorious maiestie. 2 Be exalted O thou iudge of the world: and rewarde the proude after their deseruyng 3 O God howe long shall the vngodly: howe long shall the vngodly triumph 4 All such as be workers of iniquitie: they babble, they prate shoutly, they make boastes of them selues 5 They oppresse thy people O God: and they afflict thine heritage 6 They murther the wyddowe and the straunger: & put the fatherlesse to death 7 And they say, tushe the Lorde seeth it not: neither doth the God of Iacob vnderstande it 8 Understande ye vnwyse among the people: O ye fooles, when wyll ye be well aduised 9 He that hath planted the eare, shall he not heare? yf he shapeth the eye, shall he not see 10 He that chasteneth the heathen, shall not he punishe? it is he that teacheth man knowledge 11 God knoweth the thoughtes of man: that they are but vanitie 12 Blessed is the man O Lorde, whom thou wylt chasten: and whom thou wylt instruct in thy lawe 13 That thou mayest geue hym patience in tyme of aduersitie: vntyll the pyt be digged vp for the vngodly 14 For God wyll not reiect his people: neither wil he forsake his inheritaunce 15 For iudgement shalbe reduced vnto iustice: and after it shall all such as be vpryght of heart [be iudged. 16 Who will ryse vp with me agaynst the malicious? or who wyll take my part agaynst workers of wickednesse 17 If God had not ben an ayde vnto me: it had not fayled much but my soule had dwelled in silence 18 But when I sayde my foote hath slypped: thy mercy O God helde me vp 19 In the multitude of my cogitations from the bottome of my heart: thy comfortes dyd recreate my soule 20 Shall the seate of wickednesse haue any thyng to do with thee: which [seate] maketh wrong to be enacted for a law 21 They flocke together agaynst the soule of the ryghteous: and condemne the innocent blood 22 But God is to me a refuge: and my Lorde is the rocke of my confidence 23 And he wyll recompence them their wickednesse, and destroy them in their owne malice: God our Lorde wyll destroy them 95 1 Come let vs syng vnto God: let vs make an heartie reioysyng with a loude voyce vnto the rocke of our saluation 2 Let vs make speede to come before his face with a confession: let vs expresse vnto hym outwardly a heartie gladnesse with syngyng of psalmes 3 For God is a great Lorde: and a great kyng aboue all gods 4 In his hande are all the deepe corners of the earth: and the hygh toppes of hylles be his also 5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his handes fashioned the drye lande 6 Come, let vs worshyp and fall downe: let vs kneele before the face of God our maker 7 For he is our Lorde: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheepe of his hande 8 To day yf ye wyll heare his voyce harden not your heartes as in the tyme of contention: as in the day of temptation in the wildernesse 9 When your fathers tempted me, proued me: [yea after] they had seene my worke 10 Fourtie yeres long was I greeued with that generation: and I sayde this people erreth in heart, and they haue not knowen my wayes 11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they shoulde not enter at all into my rest 96 1 Syng you vnto God a newe song: sing ye vnto God all [that be in] the earth 2 Syng ye vnto God and blesse his name: set foorth in wordes from day to day his saluation 3 Declare his glory amongst the heathen: and his wonderous actes amongst all the people 4 For God is great and worthy of all prayse: he is more to be feared then all gods 5 As for all the gods of the heathen they be but idoles: and it is God that made the heauens 6 Honour and maiestie be before hym: power and excellentnesse be in his sanctuarie 7 Geue vnto God O ye families of the people: geue vnto God glorie & power 8 Geue vnto God glorie [due] vnto his name: bryng an offeryng, and come into his courtes 9 Worshyp you God in the maiestie of holynesse: be you in dread of his face all [that be in] the earth 10 Set it foorth in wordes among the heathen that God raigneth: and that the worlde is set of a sure foundation, it shall not be remoued, he wyll iudge the people accordyng to equitie 11 The heauens shall reioyce, and the earth be glad: the sea shall make a noyse and all that is therin 12 The fielde shalbe ioyfull and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the wood reioyce before the face of God 13 For he commeth, for he commeth to iudge the earth: he will iudge the world accordyng to iustice, and the people accordyng to his trueth 97 1 God raigneth, the earth shalbe glad: the multitude of the Iles shalbe glad [therof. 2 Cloudes and thicke darknesse are rounde about hym: iustice and iudgement are the habitation of his throne 3 There goeth a fire before his face: and burneth his enemies on euery syde 4 His lightninges gaue a lyght vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and trembled 5 The hylles melted lyke waxe at the presence of God: at the presence of the Lorde of the whole earth 6 The heauens haue declared his iustice: and all the people haue seene his glorie 7 Confounded be all they that do seruice vnto carued images: and that do glorie in idols, but O gods, you all shall worshyp hym 8 Sion hearde of it, and reioyced: and the daughters of Iuda be glad, because of thy iudgementes O God 9 For thou art a God hygher then all [that are in] the earth: thou art exalted farre aboue all gods 10 You that loue God, hate the thyng which is euyll: he preserueth the soules of his saintes, he wyll delyuer them from the hande of the vngodly 11 There is sowen a lyght for the ryghteous: and gladnesse for such as be vpryght of heart 12 Reioyce in God O ye ryghteous: and prayse [hym] at the remembraunce of his holynesse 98 1 Syng vnto God a newe song: for he hath done marueylous thynges. (98:2) With his owne right hande and with his holy arme: he hath gotten to hym selfe the victorie 2 (98:3) God hath declared his saluation: he hath openly shewed his iustice in the syght of the heathen 3 (98:4) He hath remembred his mercie and trueth towarde the house of Israel: and all the endes of the worlde haue seene the saluation of our Lorde 4 (98:5) Shewe your selues ioyfull vnto God all ye [in] the earth: make a ioly noyse, reioyce you chearfully, & syng psalmes 5 (98:6) Syng psalmes vnto God [playing] vpon an harpe: vpon an harpe, and with the sounde of a psalterie 6 (98:7) Shewe your selues ioyfull before the kyng eternall: with trumpettes and sounde of shawmes 7 (98:8) Let the sea make a noyse, and that is within it: the rounde worlde, and they that dwell therin 8 (98:9) Let the fluddes clappe their handes: and let the hylles be ioyfull altogether before the face of God 9 (98:10) For he commeth to iudge the earth: he wyll iudge the worlde accordyng to iustice, & the people accordyng to equitie 99 1 God raigneth, the people be in a rage: he sitteth [betweene] the Cherubims, the earth quaketh 2 God is great in Sion: and high aboue all people 3 They shall prayse thy name great & dreadfull: [for] it is holy, and a kynges power [that] loueth iudgement 4 Thou hast ordeyned [all thynges] accordyng to equitie: thou hast caused iudgement and iustice to be in Iacob 5 Magnifie God our Lorde: and kneele downe before his footstoole, for it is holy 6 Moyses & Aaron among his priestes, and Samuel among such as call vpon his name: [these] called vpon God, and he hearde them 7 He spake vnto them out of the cloudy pyller: for they kept his testimonies, and the lawe [that] he gaue them 8 O God our Lord thou heardest them, O Lorde thou didst forbeare them: and thou tokest auengement for their owne inuentions 9 Magnifie God our Lorde, and kneele downe before his holy hyll: for God our Lorde is holy 100 1 (100:1a) Be ye ioyfull in God all that be in the earth 2 (100:1b) serue God with gladnesse, and come before his face with a ioyfull noyse 3 (100:2) Be ye sure that God is the Lorde, it is he that hath made vs, and not we our selues: we are his people and the sheepe of his pasture 4 (100:3) Go your way into his gates with thankesgeuyng, and into his courtes with prayse: be thankfull vnto hym [and] blesse his name 5 (100:4) For God is gratious, his mercie is euerlastyng: and his trueth [endureth] from generation to generation 101 1 I will sing of mercie and iudgement: I wyll syng vnto thee O God psalmes 2 I wyll endeuour my selfe to be fully instructed in the way of perfectnesse: when thou wylt come vnto me, I wil go vp and downe in the middest of my house in the perfectnesse of my heart 3 I wyll neuer set before myne eyes any deuillishe thyng: I wyll detest to do the worke of transgressours, it shall take no holde of me 4 A frowarde heart shall depart from me: I wyll not once knowe [any] euyll 5 I will destroy him who priuily slaundereth his neighbour: I wyll not suffer hym who hath a proude loke and a great stomacke 6 Myne eyes shalbe vpon such in the lande as haue a true meanyng, that they may sit with me: he that leadeth a perfect lyfe shall minister vnto me 7 There shall no deceiptfull person haue any seate in my house: he that telleth lyes shall not tary long in my syght 8 I wyll euery mornyng destroy all the vngodly in the lande: that I may roote out from the citie of God all workers of wickednesse 102 1 Heare my prayer O God: and let my crying come in vnto thee 2 Hyde not thy face from me in the day of my distresse: encline thine eare vnto me, heare me spedyly in the day that I call 3 For my dayes are consumed away like smoke: and my bones are burnt vp as though they were a firebrande 4 My heart is smitten downe and wythered lyke grasse: because I did forget to eate my bread 5 Through the noyse of my gronyng: my bones wyll scase cleaue to my fleshe 6 (102:6a) I am become lyke a Pellicane of the wildernesse, and like an Owle that is in the desert 7 (102:6b) I watch, and am as it were a sparrowe that sitteth alone vpon the house toppe 8 (102:7) Myne enemies reuile me all the day long: and they that are in a rage against me, make their oth by me 9 (102:8a) For I haue eaten asshes as it were bread, and mingled my drynke with weepyng 10 (102:8b) because of thine indignation and wrath: for thou hast set me vp, and cast me downe 11 (102:9) My dayes fade away lyke a shadowe: and I am wythered lyke grasse 12 (102:10) But thou O God endurest for euer: and thy remembraunce throughout all generations 13 (102:11) Thou wylt aryse vp, thou wylt haue compassion vpon Sion: for it is tyme that thou haue mercie vpon her, for the tyme appoynted is come 14 (102:12) For thy seruauntes be well affected towarde her stones: and it pitieth them to see her in the dust 15 (102:13) And the heathen wyll feare thy name O God: and all the kynges of the earth thy glorious maiestie 16 (102:14) For God wyll buylde vp Sion: to be seene in his glorious maiestie 17 (102:15) He wyll regarde the prayer of the humble destitute of all helpe: and he wyll not dispise their prayer 18 (102:16) This shalbe written for those that come after: and the people which shalbe borne, shall prayse the Lorde 19 (102:17) For he hath loked downe from his high sanctuarie: out of heauen did God beholde the earth 20 (102:18) That he might heare the mourninges of such as be in captiuitie: and delyuer the children of death 21 (102:19) That they may declare the name of God in Sion: and his prayse at Hierusalem 22 (102:20a) When people were gathered together, & kyngdomes to serue God 23 (102:20b) he afflicted my strength in the way, he shortened my dayes 24 (102:21) But I say, O my God take me not away in the middest of myne age: as for thy yeres, they endure throughout all generations 25 (102:22) Thou hast before tyme layde the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy handes 26 (102:23) They shall perishe, but thou wylt remayne styll: they all shall waxe olde as doth a garment, and as a vesture thou wylt chaunge them, and they shalbe chaunged 27 (102:24a) But thou art, and thy yeres can not fayle 28 (102:24b) the children of thy seruauntes shal dwell, and their seede shalbe maynteyned in thy syght 103 1 Blesse God O my soule: and all that is within me [prayse] his holy name 2 Blesse God O my soule: and forget not all his benefites 3 Who forgeueth all thy wickednesse: and healeth all thine infirmities 4 Who redeemeth thy lyfe from destruction: [and] crowneth thee with mercie and louyng kyndnesse 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good thynges: causyng thy youth lyke an Egles to be renued 6 God executeth iustice and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wrong 7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moyses: his workes vnto the children of Israel 8 God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie 9 He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he [his anger] for euer 10 He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse 11 For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym 12 [Loke] howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs 13 Yea lyke as a father pitieth [his owne] children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym 14 For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust 15 The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde 16 For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is no more [seene]: and the place therof knoweth it no more 17 But the mercifull goodnesse of God endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare hym: and his righteousnesse vpon childers children 18 Euen vpon such as kepe his couenaunt: and thinke vpon his commaundementes to do them 19 God hath prepared his seate in heauen: and his kyngdome ruleth ouer all 20 Blesse God O ye his angels mightie in operation: who fulfyll his worde in hearkening vnto the voyce of his word 21 Blesse God all ye his hoastes: you his ministers that do his pleasure 22 Blesse God all you his workes in all places of his dominion: O my soule blesse thou God 104 1 My soule blesse thou God: O God my Lord thou art become exceeding great, thou hast put on glory and maiestie 2 Who is decked with light as it were with a garment: spreadyng out the heauens like a curtayne 3 Who seeleth his vpper chaumbers with waters: and maketh the cloudes his charriot, and walketh vpon the wynges of the wynde 4 He maketh his angels spirites: and his ministers a flaming fire 5 He hath layde the earth sure vpon her foundations: that it can neuer moue at any tyme 6 Thou coueredst it with the deepe, lyke as with a garment: the waters stande vpon the hilles 7 At thy rebuke they flee: at the noyse of thy thunder they bluster downe apace 8 The hilles mount aloft: and the valleys settle downe beneath vnto the place where thou hast layde a foundation for them 9 Thou hast set them their boundes which they shall not passe: neither shall they returne agayne to couer the earth 10 Who also causeth the springes which runne betweene the hilles: to flowe into the riuers 11 All beastes of the fielde drinke therof: and the wylde asses quench their thirst 12 The foules of the ayre haue their habitation nigh vnto them: singing out of the midst of the bowes [of trees. 13 He watereth the hilles from aboue: the earth is replenished with the fruite of thy workes 14 He causeth grasse to growe for cattell: and hearbes for the vse of man 15 That he may bryng foorth foode out of the earth: both wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oyle to make hym haue a chearefull countenaunce, & also bread to strengthen mans heart 16 The trees of God be satisfied: euen the Cedars of Libanus which he hath planted 17 Wherin the birdes make their nestes: in the fyrre trees the storke buyldeth 18 The high hilles are a refuge for goates: and so are the stonie rockes for conies 19 He hath made the moone for certayne seasons: and the sunne knoweth his goyng downe 20 Thou makest darknes and it is night: wherein all the beastes of the forrest do go abrode 21 The Lions do roare after a pray: and in seeking their meate of God 22 When the sunne ariseth, they recoyle backe: and lay them downe to rest in their dennes 23 Man goeth foorth to his worke: and to do his seruice vntyll the euening 24 O God howe manyfolde are thy workes? thou hast made them al in wisdome, the earth is ful of thy ryches 25 So is the sea it selfe large and wyde in compasse: wherein are thinges creeping innumerable, both small and great beastes 26 There go the shippes, and there is that Leuiathan: whom thou hast made to take his pastime therin 27 These wayte all vpon thee: that thou mayest geue them meate in due season 28 When thou geuest it them, they gather it: and when thou openest thyne hand, they are filled with that which is good 29 When thou hydest thy face, they are troubled: when thou takest away their spirite, they dye, and are turned agayne to their dust 30 When thou sendest out thy spirite, they be recreated: and thou reuiuest the face of the earth 31 The glorious maiestie of God shal endure for euer: God wyll reioyce in his workes 32 He beholdeth the earth, & it trembleth: he toucheth the hilles, and they smoke 33 I wyll syng vnto God as long as I liue: I will sing psalmes vnto my Lord so long as I shall be 34 My meditations of hym shalbe very pleasaunt: for all my ioy shalbe in God 35 As for sinners they shalbe consumed out of the earth: and the vngodly shall come to an ende, blesse thou God O my soule, [and] prayse you the Lorde 105 1 Confesse you [it] vnto God, call vppon his name: cause the people to vnderstande his deuises 2 Sing vnto hym, sing psalmes vnto him: talke you of all his wonderous workes 3 Glary ye in his holy name: let the heart of them reioyce that do seeke God 4 Seeke God and his strength: seeke his face euermore 5 Remember the meruaylous workes that he hath done: his wonders, and the iudgementes of his mouth 6 (105:6a) O ye seede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye his chosen chyldren of Iacob 7 (105:6b) he is God our Lord, his iudgementes are in all the earth 8 (105:7a) He hath ben mindfull alwayes of his couenaunt (for he promised a worde to a thousande generations: 9 (105:7b) euen of his couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and of his othe vnto Isaac 10 (105:8) And he appointed the same vnto Iacob for a law: and to Israel for an euerlasting couenaunt 11 (105:9) Saying, vnto thee I wyll geue the lande of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritaunce 12 (105:10a) When they were a fewe men in number, and had ben straungers but a litle whyle in it 13 (105:10b) and when they went from one nation to another, from one kingdome to another people 14 (105:11) He suffred no man to do them wrong: yea he reproued euen kynges for their sakes 15 (105:12) Touche not mine annoynted: and triumph not ouer my prophetes 16 (105:13) Moreouer he called for a famine vpon the lande: and he made all maner of foode to fayle 17 (105:14) But he had sent a man before them: euen Ioseph, who was solde to be a bonde seruaunt 18 (105:15) Whose feete they dyd hurt in the stockes: the iron entred into his soule 19 (105:16) Vntill the tyme came that his cause [was knowen:] the worde of the Lorde tryed hym 20 (105:17) The king sent and caused hym to be let go: yea the prince of the people opened a way foorth for hym 21 (105:18) He made him Lorde of his house: and ruler of all his substaunce 22 (105:19) That he might enfourme his princes according to his minde: and teache his senatours wysdome 23 (105:20) Israel also came into Egypt: & Iacob was a straunger in the lande of Cham 24 (105:21) And he encreased his people exceedinglye: and made them stronger then their enemies 25 (105:22) Whose heart so turned that they hated his people: and dealt subtilly with his seruauntes 26 (105:23a) [Then] he sent Moyses his seruaunt, and Aaron whom he had chosen 27 (105:23b) they did their message, workyng his signes among them, and wonders in the lande of Cham 28 (105:24) He sent darknes, & it was darke: and they went not from his wordes 29 (105:25) He turned their waters into blood: and slue their fishe 30 (105:26) Their lande brought foorth frogges: yea euen in their kinges chaumbers 31 (105:27) He spake the worde, and there came a swarme of all maner of flyes: [and] of lyce in all their quarters 32 (105:28) He gaue them haylestones for rayne: [and] flambes of fire in their lande 33 (105:29) He smote their vines also & figge trees: and he destroyed the trees that were in their coastes 34 (105:30) He spake the worde, and the grashoppers came: & caterpillers innumerable 35 (105:31) And they did eate vp all the grasse in their lande: and deuoured the fruite of their grounde 36 (105:32) He smote al the first borne in their land: euen the first fruites of all their concupiscence 37 (105:33) He also brought them foorth with siluer and golde: there was not one feeble person in their tribes 38 (105:34) Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were smytten with dread of them 39 (105:35) He spred out a cloude to be a couering: and fire to geue light in the night season 40 (105:36) The [people] required and he brought quayles: and he filled them with the bread of heauen 41 (105:37) He opened the rocke of stone and the waters flowed out: so that streames ranne in drye places 42 (105:38) For he remembred his holy worde: [spoken] vnto Abraham his seruaunt 43 (105:39) And he brought foorth his people with gladnes: [and] his chosen with a ioyfull noyse 44 (105:40) And he gaue them the landes of the Heathen, and they toke to inheritaunce the labours of the people 45 (105:41) To the intent that they shoulde kepe his statutes: and obserue his lawes. Prayse ye the Lorde 106 1 Confesse you [it] vnto god, for he is gratious: and his mercy endureth for euer 2 Who can expresse the valiaunt actes of God: who can publishe abrode all his prayse 3 Blessed are they that kepe iudgement: and do iustice at all times 4 Remember me O God according to the fauour that thou bearest vnto thy people: O visite me with thy saluation 5 That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen, that I may reioyce at the gladnes of thy people: [and] that I may glorie with thyne inheritaunce 6 We haue sinned with our fathers: we haue done amisse and dealt wickedly 7 Our fathers did not well consider thy wonders in Egypt, neither did they remember thy manifolde great goodnes: but they rebelled at the sea, euen at the red sea 8 Neuerthelesse, he saued them for his names sake: that he myght make his power to be knowen 9 And he rebuked the red sea, and it was dryed vp: so he led them through the deepe, as through a wyldernesse 10 And he saued them from the hande of suche as hated them: & redeemed them from the hande of the enemie 11 As for their aduersaries the waters ouerwhelmed them: there was not one of them left remayning 12 Then beleued they his wordes: and song prayse vnto him 13 But within a very short whyle they forgat his workes: they woulde not wayte for his counsell 14 And they were taken with a great lust in the wyldernesse: and they tempted God in the desert 15 And he gaue them their desire: and sent leannes withal into their soule 16 They enuied also at Moyses in the tentes: [and] at Aaron the saint of God 17 So the earth opened and swalowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram 18 And the fire was kindled in their company: the flambe brent vp the vngodly 19 They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the moulten image 20 Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calfe that eateth hay 21 (106:21a) They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt 22 (106:21b) wonderous workes in ye land of Cham, [and] terrible thinges at the red sea 23 (106:22) Wherfore he appointed to destroy them, had not Moyses his chosen stand in the breache before hym: to turne away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them 24 (106:23) Yea they thought scorne of the lande most to be desired: they gaue no credite vnto his worde 25 (106:24) But they murmured in their tentes: they would not hearken vnto the voyce of God 26 (106:25a) Then lift he vp his hand against them, to geue them an ouerthrowe in the wildernesse 27 (106:25b) to geue their seede an ouerthrowe amongst the nations, and to scatter them in sundry landes 28 (106:26) They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor: they also did eate of the sacrifices of the dead 29 (106:27) And they prouoked the [Lorde] vnto anger with their owne inuentions: and a plague fell mightily amongst them 30 (106:28) Then stoode vp Phinehes, he executed iustice: and so the plague ceassed 31 (106:29) And that was imputed vnto hym for righteousnesse: in generation and generation for euermore 32 (106:30) They also prouoked [God] at the waters of strife: and all was not well with Moyses for their sakes 33 (106:31) For they had caused an alteration to be of his spirite: so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lippes 34 (106:32) Moreouer, they destroyed not the Heathen: as God commaunded them 35 (106:33) But they were mingled amongst the Heathen: and learned their workes 36 (106:34) Insomuch that they dyd seruice vnto their idols: whiche were to the a snare 37 (106:35) Yea they sacrifised their sonnes: and their daughters vnto deuils 38 (106:36) And they shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes and of their daughters: whom they sacrifised vnto the idols of Chanaan, and the lande was defiled with blood 39 (106:37) Thus were they stayned with their owne workes: and went a whoryng with their owne inuentions 40 (106:38) Therfore was the wrath of God kindeled against his people: insomuch that he abhorred his owne inheritaunce 41 (106:39) And he gaue them ouer into the hand of the Heathen: and they that dyd hate them, were lordes ouer them 42 (106:40) Their enemies oppressed them: and brought them into subiection vnder their hande 43 (106:41) Many a time dyd [God] deliuer them, but they rebelled [against hym] with their owne inuentions: and were brought downe for their wickednes 44 (106:42) Neuerthelesse, he did beholde them in their aduersitie: in geuing eare to their complaint 45 (106:43) And he remembred his couenaunt: and repented, according to the multitude of his mercies 46 (106:44) Yea he made all those that led them away captiue: to pitie them 47 (106:45) Saue vs O God our Lorde, and gather vs from among the Heathen: that we may geue thankes to thy holy name, and glory of thy prayse 48 (106:46) Blessed be God the Lord of Israel from world to world without end: and let all people say, so be it. Prayse ye the Lord 107 1 Confesse you [it] vnto God: for he is gratious, and his mercy endureth for euer 2 Let such as God did redeme speake: whom he hath redeemed from the hande of the enemie 3 And whom he gathered out of the landes: from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south 4 (107:4a) They went astray out of the way in solitarines [and] in wildernes, and found no citie to dwell in 5 (107:4b) they were hungry and thirstie, their soule fainted in them 6 (107:5) And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth them from their distresse 7 (107:6) And he leadeth them foorth by the right way: that they might go to the citie inhabited 8 (107:7) O that men would confesse vnto God his louyng kindnesse: and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men 9 (107:8) For he satisfieth the greedie soule: and filleth the hungry soule with goodnes 10 (107:9) Suche as sit in darknesse and in the shadowe of death: beyng fast bounde in miserie and iron 11 (107:10) Because they went from the wordes of the Lorde: and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most highest 12 (107:11) Therfore he humbled their heart thorowe heauines: they fall downe, and there is none to helpe them 13 (107:12) And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse 14 (107:13) For he bringeth them out of darknesse and out of the shadowe of death: and breaketh their bondes in sunder 15 (107:14) O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men 16 (107:15) For he breaketh the gates of brasse: & smyteth the barres of iron in sunder 17 (107:16) Foolish men are plagued for their mischeuous wayes: & for their wickednes 18 (107:17) Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate: and they be euen harde at deathes doore 19 (107:18) And they crye vnto God in their trouble: who deliuereth them out of their distresse 20 (107:19) he sendeth his worde & healeth them: and he maketh them to scape safe from their corruptnes 21 (107:20) O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men 22 (107:21) And that they would offer [vnto him] sacrifices of thankes geuing: and set foorth in wordes his workes with a ioyfull noyse 23 (107:22a) Such as go downe to the sea in ships and folowe their busines in great waters 24 (107:22b) they see the workes of God, and his wonders in the deepe 25 (107:23) For he commaundeth and causeth a stormie winde to arise: and he lifteth vp on high his waues 26 (107:24) [Then] they ascende vp to heauen, and come downe agayne to the deepe: so that their soule melteth away through trouble 27 (107:25) They reele to and fro, and they do stacker like a drunken man: and their wysdome fayleth them 28 (107:26) And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse 29 (107:27) For he maketh the storme to ceasse: so that the waues therof are still 30 (107:28) Then be they glad because they are at rest: and he bringeth them to the hauen where they woulde be 31 (107:29) O that men would confesse vnto god: his louyng kyndnes and meruaylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men 32 (107:30) And that they would exalt him in the congregation of the people: and prayse him in the consistorie of the aged 33 (107:31) He turneth fluddes into a wildernes: and waterspringes into a drye grounde 34 (107:32) He [maketh] a fruitfull grounde barren: for the wickednes of them that dwell therein 35 (107:33) [Contrary] he reduceth a wyldernes into a standing water: and a drye ground into water springes 36 (107:34) And he setteth there the hungry: and they buylde them a citie to dwell in 37 (107:35) And they sowe their lande and plant vineyardes: and they yelde [vnto them] aboundant store of fruites 38 (107:36) He blesseth them, so that they multiplie exceedingly: and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease 39 (107:37) But [when they do fall from God,] they are diminished & brought low: through oppression, calamitie, & griefe of minde 40 (107:38) He bringeth princes into contempt: & he maketh them to wander in a wildernesse where there is no way at all 41 (107:39) Yet he exalteth the poore out of miserie: and geueth him housholdes equall to flockes of cattell 42 (107:40) The righteous will marke [this] and reioyce: and the mouth of all wickednesse shalbe stopped 43 (107:41) Whosoeuer is wyse, he wyll both obserue these thinges: and also well consider the louing kindnesse of God 108 1 My heart is redye O Lorde: I wyll sing & prayse thee in singing of psalmes, yea my glory also is [redie. 2 Bestirre thee O lute and harpe: I my selfe wil bestirre me right early in the morning 3 I wyll prayse thee O God among the people: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thee among the nations 4 For the greatnes of thy mercy reacheth vnto the heauens: and thy trueth vnto the cloudes 5 Exalt thy selfe O Lord aboue the heauens: and let thy glory [be] aboue all the earth 6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: saue [me] with thy right hande, and heare thou me 7 The Lorde hath spoken this in his holynes (whereof I wyll reioyce:) I wyll deuide Sichem, and measure the valley of Sucoth 8 Gilead shalbe myne, and Manasses shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of my head, and Iuda my law geuer 9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edome I wyll cast my shoe, vpon Philistea I wyll triumph 10 Who wyll leade me into the strong citie? who wyll bring me into Edom 11 Hast not thou remoued vs from thence? and wylt not thou O Lorde go out with our hoastes 12 Geue vs ayde against trouble: for the sauing helpe of man is but vayne 13 Through the Lorde wyll we do valiaunt actes: for he him selfe will treade downe our enemies 109 1 Holde not thy tongue: O thou the Lorde of my prayse 2 For the mouth of the vngodly and the mouth of the deceiptfull is opened vpon me: they haue spoken against me with a false tongue 3 And they haue compassed me about with hatefull wordes: and fought against me without a cause 4 For the loue that I bare vnto them, they are become mine aduersaries: but I geue my selfe vnto prayer 5 Thus haue they rewarded me euyll for good: and hatred for my good wyll 6 Set thou an vngodly man to be ruler ouer him: and let Satan stande at his right hande 7 When sentence is geuen vpon hym, let him be condemned: and let his prayer be turned into sinne 8 Let his dayes be fewe: and let another take his office 9 Let his chyldren be fatherlesse: and his wyfe a wydowe 10 Let his children be vagaboundes and go a begging: and let them seeke [foode] out of their barren groundes 11 Let the extortioner bryng into his snare all that he hath: and let straungers spoyle his labour 12 Let there be no man to shewe hym any gentlenes: nor to haue compassion vpon his fatherlesse children 13 Let his posteritie come to destruction: and in the next generation let his name be cleane put out 14 Let the wyckednes of his fathers be had in remembraunce in the sight of God: and let not the sinne of his mother be wyped away 15 Let them be alway before God: that he may roote out the memorial of them from the earth 16 Because that he remembred not to do good: but he persecuted the afflicted and poore man, and hym whose heart was broken with sorow, that he might take his life from hym 17 His delight was in cursing, and it shal happen vnto him: he loued not blessing, therfore it hath ben farre from him 18 He clothed hym selfe with cursing, as with his garment: and it hath entred into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones 19 Let it be vnto hym as the garment that he is wrapt in: and as the gyrdle that he is alway gyrded withall 20 Let this rewarde be from God vnto myne aduersaries: and vnto those that speake euill against my soule 21 But thou O God my Lorde, do vnto me according vnto thy name: for sweete is thy mercy 22 Deliuer me, for truely I am afflicted: and I am poore, and my heart is wounded within me 23 I passe away like a vading shadowe: and I am dryuen from place to place lyke the grashopper 24 My knees are weake through fasting: my fleshe is dryed vp for want of fatnesse 25 I am become also a reproche vnto them: they gase vpon me [and] they shake their head 26 Helpe me O my Lorde: oh saue me according to thy mercy 27 And let the know how that this is thy hande: & that thou O God hast done it 28 They will curse, but thou wylt blesse: they wyl rise vp [against me] but let them be confounded, and thy seruaunt wyll reioyce 29 Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame: & let them couer the selues with their owne cofusion, as with a garment 30 As for me I will greatly prayse God with my mouth: and I wyll prayse hym among the multitude 31 For he wyll stande at the right hande of the poore: to saue him from the iudges of his soule 110 1 God sayd vnto my Lorde: sit thou on my right hande, vntyll I make thyne enemies thy footestoole 2 God wyll sende the scepter of his power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thyne enemies 3 Thy people wyll be very wyllyng in the time [of shewing] thy most mightie power with a beautifull holynes: the deawe of thy byrth is to thee from the wombe [as] from the morning 4 God sware and he wyll not repent: thou art a priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec 5 The Lorde at thy right hande: wyll wounde euen kinges in the day of his wrath 6 He wyll iudge the Heathen: he wyll fill euery place with dead bodyes, he wyll smyte the head of a great countrey 7 He wyll drinke of the swyft running brooke in the way: therfore he wyll lift vp his head 111 1 I wyll prayse God with my whole heart: in the congregation and assemblie of righteous men 2 Great are the workes of God: sought out of all them that haue pleasure therin 3 His worke is glory and maiestie: and his righteousnes endureth for euer 4 The merciful and gratious God: hath so left a remembraunce of his meruaylous workes 5 He hath geuen meate vnto them that feare him: he wyll euer be myndfull of his couenaunt 6 He hath declared vnto his people the force of his workes: in geuing them the inheritaunce of the Heathen 7 The workes of his handes are veritie and iudgement: all his commaundementes are true 8 They be set sure for euer and euer: they are done in trueth and equitie 9 He did sende redemption vnto his people: he hath commaunded his couenaunt [to be] for euer, holy and terrible is his name 10 The beginning of wysdome is the feare of God: all they haue a good vnderstanding that do his commaundements, the praise of it endureth for euer 112 1 Blessed is the man that feareth God: he hath great delight in his commaundementes 2 His seede shalbe mightie vpon the earth: the generation of them that dwell vprightly, shalbe blessed 3 Riches and plenteousnes shalbe in his house: and his righteousnes endureth for euer 4 There ariseth vp light in the darknes: vnto them that deale vprightly he is merciful, and louing, and righteous 5 A good man is mercyfull and lendeth: he wyll guyde his wordes with discretion 6 For he shalbe neuer moued: and the righteous shall be had in an euerlasting remembraunce 7 He wyll not be afraide of any euyll tidinges: his heart is setled, he beleueth in God 8 His heart is strengthened, he will not feare: vntyll he seeth [a mischiefe to fall] vpon his enemies 9 He hath distributed abrode, he hath geuen to the poore: his righteousnes remayneth for euer, his horne shalbe exalted with glory 10 The vngodly shall see it, and it wyll greeue hym, he wyll gnashe with his teethe and consume away: the desire of the vngodly shall perishe 113 1 Prayse God ye seruauntes: prayse ye the name of God 2 Blessed be the name of God: from this time foorth for euermore 3 The name of God is to be praysed: from the rising vp of the sunne, vnto the goyng downe of the same 4 God is high aboue all Heathen: and his glory aboue the heauens 5 (113:5a) Who is like vnto God our Lord that dwelleth on hygh aboue all 6 (113:5b) and yet humbleth him selfe to beholde the thinges that are in heauen and in earth 7 (113:6) He rayseth vp the simple out of the dust: and lyfteth vp the poore from the dounghyll 8 (113:7) For to make him sit with the princes: euen with the princes of his people 9 (113:8) He maketh the barren woman to kepe house: and to be a ioyful mother of children. Prayse ye the Lorde 114 1 When Israel came out of Egypt: & the house of Iacob from among the barbarous people 2 Iuda was his holynesse: and Israel his dominion 3 The sea sawe that and fled: Iordane was driuen backe 4 The mountaynes skypped lyke rammes: and the litle hilles like young lambes 5 What ayleth thee O thou sea that thou fleddest? and thou Iordane that thou wast driuen backe 6 Ye mountaines what [ayled] you that ye skipped lyke rammes: and ye litle hilles like young lambes 7 Tremble thou earth at the presence of the Lorde: at the presence of the Lorde of Iacob 8 Whiche turned the harde rocke into a standing water: and the flint stone into a springing well of waters 115 1 Geue praise not vnto vs O God, not vnto vs, but vnto thy name: for thy louing mercy, and for thy truethes sake 2 Wherfore shal the Heathen say: where is nowe their God 3 Truely our Lorde is in heauen: he hath done whatsoeuer pleased him 4 Their idols are siluer and gold: euen the workes of mens handes 5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not 6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smell not 7 They haue handes and handle not, they haue feete and walke not: and they vtter no sounde out of their throtes 8 They that make them are lyke vnto them: euery one that putteth his trust in them 9 But Israel trust thou in God: he is their ayde and their shielde 10 Ye house of Aaron trust you in God: he is their ayde and their shielde 11 Ye that feare God, trust ye in God: he is their ayde and their shielde 12 God hath ben myndfull of vs, he wyll blesse vs: he wyll blesse the house of Israel, he wyll blesse the house of Aaron 13 He wyll blesse those that feare God: the small with the great 14 God wyll encrease you more and more: both you and also your children 15 Ye are the blessed of God: which made heauen and earth 16 The heauen, the heauen [I say] is Gods: and he hath geuen the earth vnto the children of men 17 The dead prayse not thee O Lorde: neither all they that go downe into the [place] of scilence 18 But we wyll prayse the Lord: from this tyme foorth for euermore. Prayse ye the Lorde 116 1 I haue loued: because God hath hearde my voyce [and] my prayers 2 Because he hath enclined his eare vnto me: therfore I wyll call vpon hym as long as I lyue 3 The snares of death compassed me rounde about: and the paynes of hell toke holde on me. (116:4a) I founde anguishe and heauinesse 4 (116:4b) but I called vpon the name of God: [saying] O God, I beseche thee deliuer my soul 5 Gratious is God and ryghteous: our Lorde is mercifull 6 God gardeth the simple: I was brought to the extremitie, and he preserued me 7 Returne O my soule vnto thy rest: for God hath rewarded thee 8 For [thou O Lorde] hast deliuered my soule from death: myne eyes from teares, and my feete from fallyng 9 I wyll walke before the face of God: in the lande of the lyuyng 10 (116:10a) I beleued, therfore I wyll speake: I was sore afflicted 11 (116:10b) insomuch that I said in my rashnesse euery man is a lyer 12 (116:11) What rewarde shal I geue vnto God: for all the benefites that he hath done vnto me 13 (116:12) I wyll take the cuppe of saluation: and I wyll call vpon the name of God 14 (116:13) I wyll pay my vowes nowe vnto God: in the presence of all his people 15 (116:14) The death of his saintes: is precious in the eyes of God 16 (116:15) It is euen so O God, for I am thy seruaunt and the sonne of thy handemayde: thou hast loosed my bondes in sunder 17 (116:16) I wyll offer vnto thee the sacrifice of thankesgeuyng: and I wyll call vpon the name of God 18 (116:17a) I wyll pay my vowes vnto God in the sight of all his people 19 (116:17b) in the courtes of Gods house, euen in the myddest of thee O Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde 117 1 O prayse God all ye heathen: prayse hym all ye nations 2 For his mercifull kyndnesse is euer more and more towarde vs: and the trueth of God endureth for euer. Prayse ye the Lorde 118 1 O confesse you [it] vnto God, for he is gratious: and his mercie endureth for euer 2 Let Israel nowe confesse: that his mercie endureth for euer 3 Let the house of Aaron nowe confesse: that his mercie endureth for euer 4 Let them nowe that feare God: confesse that his mercie endureth for euer 5 I called vpon the Lorde beyng in distresse: and the Lorde hath hearde me at large 6 God is with me: I wyll not feare what man can do vnto me 7 God is with me amongst them that ayde me: [therfore] I shall see [my desire] vpon them that hate me 8 It is better to trust in God: then to put any confidence in man 9 It is better to trust in God: then to put any confidence in princes 10 All nations compassed me rounde about: [but I trusted] in the name of God that I shoulde destroy them 11 They kept me in on euery syde, they kept me in I say on euery syde: [but I trusted] in the name of God that I shoulde destroy them 12 They swarmed about me lyke bees, and they be extinguished as the fire [made] of thornes: [for I trusted] in the name of God that I should destroy them 13 Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall: but God dyd ayde m 14 The Lorde is my strength and my song: and he is become my saluation 15 The voyce of a ioyfull noyse & of saluation is in the dwellynges of the ryghteous: [saying] the ryght hande of God bryngeth mightie thynges to passe 16 The ryght hande of God is on hygh: the right hande of God bryngeth mightie thynges to passe 17 I shall not [as yet] dye, but I shal liue: and I wyll declare the workes of the Lorde 18 The Lorde hath greatly chastened me: but he hath not geuen me ouer vnto death 19 Open me the gates of ryghteousnesse, I wyll enter in by them: that I may geue thankes vnto the Lorde 20 This is the gate of God: the ryghteous shall enter in by it 21 I wyll thanke thee for that thou hast heard me: and art become my saluation 22 The same stone which the buylders refused: is become the head stone of the corner 23 This was the doyng of God: and it is marueylous in our eyes 24 This is the day whiche God hath made: we wyll reioyce and be glad in it 25 O God I pray thee nowe saue [vs]: O God I pray thee nowe geue [vs] prosperous successe 26 Blessed be he that commeth in the name of God: we do blesse you out of the house of God 27 It is the Lord God who hath geuen vs lyght: bynde a sacrifice with cordes vnto the hornes of the aulter 28 Thou art my Lorde, and I wyll confesse it vnto thee: thou art my Lorde and I wyll magnifie thee 29 O confesse you [it] vnto God, for he is gratious: and his mercie endureth for euer 119 1 Blessed are those that be perfect in the way: walkyng in the lawe of God 2 Blessed are they that kepe his testimonies: they seke hym with their whole heart 3 Truely they walke in his wayes: who do no wickednesse 4 Thou hast geuen charge: that we shoulde diligently kepe thy commaundementes 5 I wishe that my wayes were directed: for to kepe thy statutes 6 I shall take then no shame: when I haue regarde vnto all thy commaundementes 7 I wyll confesse [it] vnto thee with an vpryght heart: when I shall haue learned the iudgementes of thy ryghteousnesse 8 I wyll kepe thy statutes: [wherfore] forsake me not for any long tyme 9 (119:1) Wherby shall a young man refourme his way: euen in guiding it accordyng to thy worde 10 (119:2) I haue sought thee with my whole heart: suffer me not to swarue from thy commaundementes 11 (119:3) I haue hyd thy wordes within my heart: for this ende, that I shoulde not sinne agaynst thee 12 (119:4) Blessed art thou O God: teache

according vnto thy word 59 (119:3) I haue considered mine owne wayes: and I haue turned my feete vnto thy testimonies 60 (119:4) I made haste and I made no delay: for to kepe thy commaundementes 61 (119:5) The vngodly haue tangled me in their snares: but I haue not forgotten thy lawe 62 (119:6) I wyll ryse at midnight to confesse me vnto thee: because of thy ryghteous iudgementes 63 (119:7) I am

knowe thy testimonies: returne vnto me 80 (119:8) Let myne heart be perfectly [set] in thy statutes: that I be not ashamed 81 (119:1) My soule hath faynted after thy saluation: I geue earnest

(119:2) Thou hast made me wyser then myne enemies through thy commaundementes: for they are euer with me 99 (119:3) I am able to geue better instruction then all they that were my teachers: for thy

please thee O God: and teache me thy iudgementes 109 (119:5) My soule is alway in my hande: yet I do not forget thy lawe 110 (119:6) The vngodly haue layde a snare for me: but yet I swarued not from thy commaundementes 111 (119:7) I haue claymed thy testimonies as myne heritage for euer: for they are the very ioy of myne heart 112 (119:8) I haue applyed myne heart for to fulfyll thy statutes: euen to the worldes ende 113 (119:1) I hate hygh subtile deuices: and I do loue thy lawe 114 (119:2) Thou art my refuge and my shield: I geue earnest attendaunce vnto thy worde 115 (119:3) Auoyde from

I shalbe safe: and I will loke gladly vpon thy statutes alwayes 118 (119:6) Thou hast troden vnder foote all them that go astray from thy statutes: for their crafty deuice is but falshood 119 (119:7) Thou hast dispatched out of the way all the vngodly of the earth lyke drosse: therfore I loue thy testimonies 120 (119:8) My fleshe trembleth for feare of thee: and I am afrayde of thy iudgementes 121

oppresse me with wrong 123 (119:3) Myne eyes haue faynted with lokyng for thy saluation: and for the worde of thy [ryghteousnesse. 124 (119:4) Deale with thy seruaunt accordyng vnto thy owne louyng kyndnesse: and teache me thy statutes 125 (119:5) I am thy seruaunt, graunt me vnderstandyng: that I may knowe thy testimonies 126 (119:6) It is tyme for [me] to do for Gods cause: for they haue brought thy lawe almost to nothyng 127 (119:7) Therfore I loue thy commaundementes: aboue golde and precious stone 128 (119:8) Therfore I take all thy commaundementes euery one of them to be ryght: & I vtterly hate all wayes of falshood 129 (119:1) Thy testimonies [contayne] wonderfull thinges: therfore doth my soule kepe them 130 (119:2) The first entering of thy wordes will illuminate: geuyng vnderstanding euen vnto the simple 131 (119:3) I opened my mouth and panted: for I bare a great affection to thy commaundementes 132 (119:4) Loke thou vpon me and be mercifull vnto me: as thou vsest

together in it selfe 4 For the tribes do go vp thyther, euen the tribes of the Lorde: [which is] a testimonie vnto Israel for to prayse the name of God 5 For there is ordeyned the seate for iudgement: euen the seate of the house of Dauid 6 Pray for the peace of Hierusalem: they shall prosper that loue thee 7 Peace be within thy walles: and plenteousnesse within thy palaces 8 For my brethren and

Beholde, as the eyes of seruauntes [loke] vnto the hande of their maisters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hande of her maistresse: euen so our eyes [wayte] vpon God our Lorde vntyll he haue

vp quicke: when their wrath was so inflamed against vs 4 (124:3) Then the waters had drowned vs: the running streame had flowed ouer our soule 5 (124:4) Then the waters of the proude: had flowed ouer our soule 6 (124:5) But blessed be God, whiche hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth 7 (124:6) Our soule is escaped, euen as a byrde out of the snare of the fouler: the snare is broken, and we be escaped 8 (124:7) Our helpe is in the name of God: who hath made heauen and earth 125 1 They that put their trust in God [be] as the mount Sion: [whiche] may not be remoued [but] must stande fast for euer 2 As for Hierusalem, hilles be rounde about it: and God is rounde about his people from this tyme foorth for euermore 3 For the scepter of the vngodly shall not rest vpon the lot of the righteous: lest the righteous put their handes vnto wickednes 4 Be beneficiall O God: vnto those that be good and vpright in their heart 5 And such as do wander in their owne peruersnes, those God will cause to walke with the workers of wickednes: [so] peace [shalbe] vpon Israel 126 1 When God shall cause them of Sion that were led into captiuitie for to returne: we shalbe as men that dreamed 2
