Matthew(i)
1 I am wel pleased, that the Lord hath hearde the voyce of my prayer.
2 That he hath enclyned his eare vnto me, therfore wil I cal vpon him as long as I lyue.
3 The snares of death compased me round aboute, the paynes of hell gat hold vpon me I founde trouble and heauynesse.
4 Then called I vpon the name of the Lord O Lorde: delyuer my soule.
5 Gracious is the Lord, and rightuous, yea oure God is mercyfull.
6 The Lorde preserueth the symple, I was brought downe, and he helped me.
7 Turne agayne then vnto thy rest, O my soule, for the Lord hath geuen the thy desire.
8 And why thou haste delyuered my soule from death, myne eyes from teares, and my fete from fawlyng.
9 I wyll walcke before the Lorde, in the land of the lyuyng.
10 I beleued, and therfore haue I spoken, but I was sore troubled.
11 I sayde in my hast: Al men are liers.
12 What rewarde shall I geue vnto the Lorde, for all the benyfytes that he hath done vnto me?
13 I wyl receyue the, cuppe of saluacion, and call vpon the name of the Lord.
14 I wyll paye my vowes in the presence of al his people,
15 right deare in the syghte of the Lorde is the death of his saynctes.
16 O Lorde, I am thy seruaunt, I am thy seruant, and the son of thy handmaide, thou hast broken my bondes in sonder.
17 I wyl offre to the sacrifyce of thanckesgegeuynge, and wyll call vpon the name of the Lord.
18 I wyll paye my vowes vnto the Lord in the syght of al his people,
19 in the courtes of the Lordes house, euen in the middest of the, O Ierusalem. Prayse the euerlasting.
