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

47 (119:7) And my delyght shalbe in thy commaundementes: which I haue loued
48 (119:8) And I wyll lyft vp my handes vnto thy commaundementes which I haue loued: & my study shalbe in thy statutes

50 (119:2) That same is my comfort in my affliction: for thy worde maketh me to lyue
51 (119:3) The proude haue had me exceedingly in derision: yet I haue not shrinked from thy lawe
52 (119:4) [For] I called to remembraunce thy iudgementes from the begynnyng of the worlde O God: and so I comforted my selfe
53 (119:5) An extreme vnnaturall heat hath assayled me, because of the vngodly: who transgresse thy lawe

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 a companion of all them that feare thee: and kepe thy commaundementes
64 (119:8) The earth O God is replenished with thy louyng kyndnesse: O teache me thy statutes
65 (119:1) O God thou hast dealt gratiouslye with thy seruaunt: according vnto thy worde
66 (119:2) Learne me the good taste & cunning: for I haue beleued thy commaundementes
67 (119:3) Before I felt affliction I swarued out of the way: but nowe I kepe thy word
68 (119:4) Thou art good and beneficiall: teache me thy statutes
69 (119:5) The proude haue forged a false tale agaynst me: but I wyll kepe thy commaundementes with my whole heart
70 (119:6) Their heart is as fat as brawne: but my delyght hath ben in thy lawe
71 (119:7) It is good for me that I am brought into miserie: by that meanes I shall learne thy statutes
72 (119:8) The lawe of thy mouth is dearer vnto me: then thousandes of golde & siluer
73 (119:1) Thy handes haue made me and fashioned me: geue me vnderstanding, and I will learne thy comaundementes
74 (119:2) They that feare thee, shall see me, & reioyce: because I haue geuen earnest attendaunce vnto thy worde

79 (119:7) Let such as feare thee and 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 attedaunce vnto thy worde
82 (119:2) Myne eyes haue faynted after thy worde: whylest I say, when wilt thou comfort me
83 (119:3) For I am become like a bottel [hanged] in the smoke: yet I do not forget thy statutes
84 (119:4) Howe many are the dayes of thy seruaunt? when wilt thou geue iudgement agaynst them that persecute me
85 (119:5) The proude haue digged pittes for me: which is [a thing] not [done] accordyng to thy lawe
86 (119:6) All thy commaundementes are the trueth it selfe: they wrongfully persecute me, O be thou my ayde
87 (119:7) They had almost made an ende of me vpon the earth: but I forsoke not thy commaundementes
88 (119:8) Make me to lyue accordyng to thy pietie: and I wyll kepe the testimonies of thy mouth
89 (119:1) O God: thy worde endureth for euer in heauen
90 (119:2) Thy trueth [appeareth] to euery generation: thou hast layde the foundation of the earth, and it shall continue
91 (119:3) [All thynges] continue this day accordyng to thine ordinaunce: for all thinges be thy seruauntes
92 (119:4) If my delight had not ben in thy lawe: I shoulde haue perished in myne affliction
93 (119:5) I wyll neuer forget thy commaundementes: for through them thou hast reuiued me
94 (119:6) I am thine, saue me: for I haue diligently studied thy commaundementes ouer
95 (119:7) When the vngodly layde wayte for me to destroy me: I endeuoured my selfe to vnderstande thy testimonies
96 (119:8) I see an ende of euery thing be it neuer so perfect: but thy commaundement is exceedyng large
97 (119:1) Howe greatly do I loue thy lawe? my study is all the day long in it
98 (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 testimonies are my study
100 (119:4) I am made to vnderstande more then the aged can: because I kept thy commaundementes
101 (119:5) I haue rstrayned my feete from euery euyll way: that I may kepe thy worde

103 (119:7) Howe sweete are thy wordes vnto my throte: truely [they be sweeter] then hony is to my mouth
104 (119:8) Through thy commaundementes I get vnderstandyng: therfore I hate all wayes of falshood
105 (119:1) Thy worde is a candell vnto my feete: and a lyght vnto my pathes
106 (119:2) I haue made an oth (which I wil ratifie) for to kepe thy iuste iudgementes
107 (119:3) I am troubled aboue measure: quicken me O God accordyng vnto thy worde
108 (119:4) Let the freewyll offerynges of my mouth 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 me ye malicious [persons:] and I wyll kepe the commaundementes of my Lorde
116 (119:4) Strengthen me in thy worde and I shall lyue: and make me not ashamed of my hope
117 (119:5) Holde thou me vp and 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

122 (119:2) For thy owne goodnesse sake take thy seruaunt vnto thy protection: let not the proude 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 to do vnto those that loue thy name
133 (119:5) Direct my steppes in thy worde: and so shall no wickednesse haue dominion ouer me
134 (119:6) Redeeme me from the fraudulent dealyng of men: and I wyll kepe thy commaundementes
135 (119:7) Make the lyght of thy countenaunce shyne vpon thy seruaunt: and teache me thy statutes
136 (119:8) Ryuers of waters gushe out of myne eyes: because men kepe not thy lawe
137 (119:1) O God: thou art iust and vpryght in thy iudgementes
138 (119:2) Thou hast commaunded the iustice and the veritie of thy testimonies: [to be obserued] very strayghtly
139 (119:3) My zeale hath consumed me: because myne aduersaries haue forgotten thy wordes
140 (119:4) Thy worde is purified to the vttermost: and thy seruaunt loueth it
141 (119:5) I am small and of no reputation: [yet] I do not forget thy comaundementes
142 (119:6) Thy ryghteousnesse is an euerlastyng righteousnesse: & thy lawe is the trueth
143 (119:7) Trouble and griefe haue taken holde vpon me: yet thy commaundementes be my delyght
144 (119:8) The righteousnesse of thy testimonies is euerlastyng: make me to vnderstande [them] and I shall lyue

156 (119:4) Thy mercies be manifolde O God: make me to liue accordyng to thy iudgementes
157 (119:5) There be many that do persecute me and be myne aduersaries: yet I do not swarue from thy testimonies
158 (119:6) I sawe transgressours, and I was greeued at the heart: because they kept not thy lawe
159 (119:7) Beholde howe I loue thy commaundementes: quicken me O God accordyng to thy louyng kindnesse
160 (119:8) The beginning of thy word is trueth: and all the iudgementes of thy ryghteousnesse endure for euermore
161 (119:1) Princes haue persecuted me without a cause: but my heart hath stoode in awe of thy wordes
162 (119:2) I am as glad of thy worde: as he that fyndeth a great bootie
163 (119:3) That which is false I hate and abhorre: but thy lawe I do loue
164 (119:4) I do prayse thee seuen tymes euery day: for loue of the iudgementes of thy iustice
