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

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

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
