1 Not vnto vs (o LORDE) not vnto vs, but vnto thy name geue the prayse, for thy louinge mercy and faithfulnes.
2 Wherfore shal the Heithen saye: where is now their God?
3 As for oure God, he is in heauen, he doth what soeuer it pleaseth him.
4 Their ymages are but syluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hodes.
5 They haue mouthes, and speake not: eyes haue they, but they se not.
6 They haue eares, and heare not: noses haue they, but they smell not.
7 They haue handes and handle not, fete haue they, but they can not go, nether can they speake thorow their throte.
8 They that made them, are like vnto them, and so are all soch as put their trust in them.
9 But let Israel trust in ye LORDE, for he is their sucoure & defence.
10 Let the house of Aaron put their trust in ye LORDE, for he is their sucoure & defence.
11 They that feare the LORDE, let the put their trust in the LORDE, for he is their sucoure and defence.
12 The LORDE is myndefull of vs, & blesseth vs: he blesseth ye house of Israel, he blesseth ye house of Aaron.
13 Yee he blesseth all them that feare the LORDE, both small & greate.
14 The LORDE encrease you more & more: you, and youre childre.
15 For ye are ye blessed of the LORDE, which made heauen & earth.
16 All the whole heauens are the LORDES, but the earth hath he geue vnto ye childre of men.
17 The deed prayse not the (o LORDE) nether all they that go downe in to sylence.
18 But we will prayse the LORDE, from this tyme forth for euermore. Halleluya.
116 1 I am wel pleased, yt the LORDE hath herde ye voyce of my prayer.
2 That he hath enclyned his eare vnto me, therfore wil I call vpo him as longe as I lyue.
3 The snares of death copased me rounde aboute, the paynes of hell gat holde vpon me,
4 I founde trouble and heuynesse. Then called I vpon ye name of the LORDE: o LORDE, delyuer my soule.
5 Gracious is ye LORDE & rightuous, yee oure God is mercifull.
6 The LORDE preserueth ye symple, I was brought downe, and he helped me.
7 Turne agayne then vnto thy rest (o my soule) for the LORDE hath geuen the thy desyre.
8 And why? thou hast delyuered my soule from death, myne eyes from teares, and my fete from fallinge.
9 I wil walke before ye LORDE, in the londe of the lyuynge.
10 I beleued, and therfore haue I spoke, but I was sore troubled.
11 I sayde in my haist: All men are lyers.
12 What rewarde shal I geue vnto ye LORDE, for all the benefites yt he hath done vnto me?
13 I wil receaue the cuppe of saluacio, and call vpon the name of the LORDE.
14 I wil paye my vowes in the presence of all his people, right deare in the sight of ye LORDE is the death of his sayntes.
15 O LORDE, I am thy seruaunt, I am thy seruaunt,
16 and the sonne of thy handmayden, thou hast broken my bondes in sonder.
17 I wil offre the the sacrifice of thankes geuynge, and wil call vpon the name of the LORDE.
18 I wil paye my vowes vnto the LORDE in the sight of all his people,
19 in the courtes of the LORDES house, eue in the myddest of the, o Ierusalem. Halleluya.
117 1 O prayse the LORDE all ye Gentiles, laude him all ye people.
2 For his mercifull kyndnes is euer more and more towarde vs, & the trueth of the LORDE endureth for euer. Halleluya.
118 1 O Geue thankes vnto the LORDE, for he is gracious, and his mercy endureth for euer.
2 Let Israel now confesse, yt his mercy endureth for euer.
3 Let the house of Aaron now confesse, that his mercy endureth for euer.
4 Yee let the now that feare the LORDE, confesse, that his mercy endureth for euer.
5 I called vpon the LORDE in trouble, and the LORDE herde me at large.
6 The LORDE is my helper, I wil not feare what man doeth vnto me.
7 The LORDE is my helper, & I shal se my desyre vpon myne enemies.
8 It is better to trust in the LORDE, then to put eny confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the LORDE, then to put eny confidece in prynces.
10 All Heithen compased me rounde aboute, but in the name of the LORDE wil I destroye the.
11 They kepte me in on euery syde, but in the name of the LORDE, I wil destroye them.
12 They came aboute me like bees, & were as hote as the fyre in the thornes, but in the name of the LORDE I wil destroye them.
13 They thrust at me, that I might fall, but the LORDE was my helpe.
14 The LORDE is my stregth, & my songe, & is become my saluacion.
15 The voyce of ioye & myrth is in the dwellynges of ye rightuous, for ye right hande of the LORDE hath gotte the victory.
16 The right hande of the LORDE hath the preemynence, the right hade of the LORDE hath gotte the victory.
17 I wil not dye, but lyue, and declare the workes of the LORDE.
18 The LORDE hath chastened & correcte me, but he hath not geuen me ouer vnto death.
19 Open me the gates of rightuousnes, yt I maye go in there thorow, & geue thakes vnto the LORDE.
20 This is the dore of the LORDE, the rightuous shall entre in thorow it.
21 I thanke the, yt thou hast herde me, & art become my saluacio.
22 The same stone which the buylders refused, is become the heade stone in the corner.
23 This was the LORDES doinge, & it is maruelous in or eyes.
24 This is the daye which the LORDE hath made, let vs reioyse and be glad in it.
25 Helpe now o LORDE, o LORDE sende vs now prosperite.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORDE, we wish you good lucke, ye that be of the house of the LORDE.
27 God is the LORDE, & hath shewed vs light: O garnish the solempne feast with grene braunches, eue vnto the hornes of ye aulter.
28 Thou art my God, & I wil thanke the: thou art my God, and I wil prayse the.
29 O geue thankes vnto the LORDE, for he is gracious, & his mercy endureth for euer.
119 1 Blessed are those yt be vndefiled in the waye: which walke in the lawe of ye LORDE.
2 Blessed are they that kepe his testimonies, & seke him with their whole herte.
3 Which walke in his wayes, & do no wickednesse.
4 Thou hast geuen strayte charge to kepe thy commaundementes.
