Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Of Dauid. Prayse the Lord, O my soule, and all that is wtin me prayse his holy name. ² Prayse the Lorde, O my soule, and forget not all hys benefytes. ³ Whych forgeueth all thy synne, & healeth all thyn infirmities. ⁴ Which saueth thy lyfe from destruccyon, and crowneth the with mercy and louynge kyndnesse. ⁵ Whych satisfyeth thy mouth wyth good thynges, makyng the yonge and lusty as an Aegle. ⁶ The Lorde executeth ryghteousnesse and iudgment, for all them that are oppressed with wronge. ⁷ He shewed hys wayes vnto Moses, hys worckes vnto the chyldren of Israel. ⁸ The Lord is full of compassyon & mercy, longe sufferyng, and of great goodnesse. ⁹ He will not allwaye be chydynge, nether kepeth he his anger for euer. ¹⁰ He hath not dealt with vs after oure synnes, ner rewarded vs according to oure wyckednesses. ¹¹ For loke how hye the heauen is in comparison of the earth, so greate is hys mercy also towarde them that feare him. ¹² Loke how wyde also the east is from the west, so farre hath he set oure synnes from vs. ¹³ Yee like as a father pitieth his awne children, euen so is the Lorde mercyfull vnto them that feare him. ¹⁴ For he knoweth wherof we be made, he remembreth that we are but dust. ¹⁵ The dayes of man are but as grasse, for he florisheth as a floure of the felde. ¹⁶ For as soone as the wynde goeth ouer it, it is gone, and the place therof shall knowe it nomore. ¹⁷ But the mercyful goodnesse of the Lorde endureth for euer & euer, vpon them that feare him, & hys ryghteousnesse vpon chylders chyldren. ¹⁸ Euen vpon soch as kepe his couenaunt, & thincke vpon hys commaundementes to do them. ¹⁹ The Lord hath prepared hys seate in heauen, and kis kyngdome ruleth ouer all. ²⁰ O prayse the Lorde ye angels of his, ye that excell in strength: ye that fulfyll his commaundement, & herken vnto the voyce of his wordes. ²¹ O prayse the Lord all ye his Hostes, ye seruauntes of his, that do his pleasure. ²² O speake good of the Lord all ye workes of his, in all places of his dominion: prayse thou the Lorde, O my soule. ¹⁰⁴ ¹ Prayse the Lord O my soule: O Lord my God, thou art become exceadynge glorious, thou art clothed with maiesty and honoure. ² Thou deckest thy selfe with lyght, as it were with a garment, and spredest out the heauens lyke a curtayne. ³ Which layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, & maketh the cloudes his charet, & walketh vpon the wynges of the wynde. ⁴ He maketh his angels spretes, and his mynisters a flamynge fyre. ⁵ He layed the foundacyon of the earth, that it neuer shulde moue at eny tyme. ⁶ Thou coueredst it wt the depe lyke as wyth a garment: the waters stande in the hylles. ⁷ At thy rebuke they flye, at the voyce of thy thonder they are afrayed. ⁸ They go vp as hye as the hylles, and downe to the valleys beneth: euen vnto the place, which thou hast appoynted for them. ⁹ Thou hast set them their boundes, which they shall not passe: nether turne agayne to couer the earth. ¹⁰ He sendeth the springes into the ryuers, which runne among the hylles. ¹¹ All beastes of the felde dryncke therof: and the wylde asses quench theyr thyrste. ¹² Besyde them shall the foules of the ayre haue theyr habitacyon, & synge amonge the braunches. ¹³ He watreth the hylles from aboue, the earth is fylled wyth the frute of thy worckes. ¹⁴ He bryngeth forth grasse for the cattell, and grene herbe for the seruice of men: ¹⁵ that he maye brynge fode out of the earth: and wyne that maketh glad the herte of man, and oyle to make him a chearfull countenaunce, and bred to strength mans herte. ¹⁶ The trees of the Lord also are full of sappe, euen the Cedres of Libanus which he hath planted. ¹⁷ Wherin the byrdes make their nestes, and the fyrre trees are a dwellyng for the storcke. ¹⁸ The hye hilles are a refuge for the wilde goates, and so are the stony rockes for the conyes. ¹⁹ He appoynted the Moone for certayne seasons, and the Sunne knoweth hys goynge downe. ²⁰ Thou makest darcknesse, that it maye be night, wherin all the beastes of the forest do moue. ²¹ The lyons roaring after their praye to seke theyr meate at God. ²² The sunne aryseth, and they get them awaye together, and lye them downe in their dennes. ²³ Man goeth forth to his worcke, and to hys laboure vntyll the euenyng. ²⁴ O Lorde, how manifolde are thy worckes? in wysdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy ryches. ²⁵ So is this greate and wyde see also, wherin are thynges crepynge innumerable, both small and greate beastes. ²⁶ There go the shippes, and there is that Leuiathan, whom thou hast made, to take hys pastyme therin. ²⁷ These wayte all vpon the, 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 fylled with good. ²⁹ When thou hydest thy face, they are troubled: whan thou takest awaye their breth, they dye, and are turned agayne to their dust. ³⁰ When thou lettest thy breth goo forth, they shalbe mad, and thou shalt renue the face of the earth. ³¹ The glorious maiesty of the Lord shall endure for euer, the Lorde shall reioyse in hys worckes. ³² The earth shall tremble at the loke of hym: yf he do but touch the hylles, they shall smoke. ³³ I wyll synge vnto the Lorde as longe as I lyue, I will prayse my God whyle I haue my beynge. ³⁴ And so shall my wordes please him: my ioye shalbe in the Lorde. ³⁵ As for synners, they shalbe consumed out of the earth, and the vngodly shall come to an ende: prayse thou the Lorde, O my soule. Prayse the Lorde. ¹⁰⁵ ¹ O geue thankes vnto the Lorde, and cal vpon hys name: tell the people, what thynges he hath done. ² O let your songes be of hym: and prayse hym, and let youre talkynge be of all hys wonderous worckes. ³ Reioyse in his holy name, let the hert of them reioyse, that seke the Lorde. ⁴ Seke the Lord, and his strength, seke his face euermore. ⁵ Remembre the maruelous worckes that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgmentes of his mouth. ⁶ O ye sede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye chyldren of Iacob his chosen. ⁷ He is the Lorde oure God: his iudgementes are in all the worlde. ⁸ He hath bene alwaye myndfull of hys couenaunt, and promyse that he made to a thousand generacions. ⁹ Euen the couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and the ooth that he sware vnto Isahac. ¹⁰ And apoynted the same vnto Iacob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlastynge testament. ¹¹ Sayenge: vnto the wyll I geue the lande of Canaan, the lot of youre inherytaunce. ¹² When there was yet but a fewe of them, and they straungers in the lande. ¹³ What tyme as they went from one nacion to another, from one kyngdome to another people. ¹⁴ He suffred no man to do them wrong, but reproued euen kynges for their sakes. ¹⁵ Touch not myne anoynted, & do my prophetes no harme. ¹⁶ Morouer, he called for a darth vpon the lande, and destroyed all the prouisyon of bread. ¹⁷ But he had sent a man before them, euen Ioseph whych was solde to be a bonde seruaunt. ¹⁸ Whose fete they hurt in the stockes the yron entred into his soule. ¹⁹ Untill the tyme came that his cause was knowne, the worde of the Lord tryed him. ²⁰ The kyng sent and delyuered him: the prince of the people let him go fre. ²¹ He made him Lorde also his of house, and ruler of all his substaunce. ²² That he might enfourme his princes after his will, & teach his Senatours wysdome. ²³ Israel also came into Egypte, and Iacob was a straunger in the land of Ham. ²⁴ And he increased his people exceadingly, and made them stronger then their enemies. ²⁵ Whose hert turned, so that they hated his people, & dealt vntruly with his seruauntes. ²⁶ Then sent he Moses his seruaunt, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. ²⁷ And these shewed his tokens amonge them, and wonders in the lande of Ham. ²⁸ He sent darcknesse, & it was darcke, and they were not obedyent vnto hys worde. ²⁹ He turned theyr waters into bloude, and slewe their fyshe. ³⁰ Their land brought forth frogges, yee euen in their kynges chambers. ³¹ He spake the worde, and their came all maner of flyes, and lyce in all their quarters. ³² He gaue them hayle stones for rayne, and flammes of fyre in their lande. ³³ He smote these vines also and fyge trees, & destroyed the trees that were in their coastes. ³⁴ He spake the worde, and the greshoppers came, & catyrpyllers innumerable. ³⁵ And dyd eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the frute of their grounde. ³⁶ He smote all the fyrst borne in their lande, euen the chefe of all theyr strength. ³⁷ He brought them forth also wt syluer and golde, there was not one feble persone among their trybes. ³⁸ Egypte was glad at their departyng, for they were afrayed of them. ³⁹ He spred out a cloude to be a coueryng, and fyre to geue lyght in the nightceason. ⁴⁰ At their desyre, he brought quayles, and he fylled them with the bread of heauen. ⁴¹ He opened the rocke of stone, and the waters flowed out: so that ryuers ranne in the drye places. ⁴² For why? he remembred hys holy promes, and Abraham his seruaunt. ⁴³ And he brought forth his people with ioye, and his chosen wt gladnesse. ⁴⁴ And gaue them the landes of the Heathen, and they toke the labours of the people in possessyon. ⁴⁵ That they myght kepe hys statutes, and obserue hys lawes. Prayse the Lorde. ¹⁰⁶ ¹ Prayse the Lorde. O geue thancke vnto the Lorde, for he is gracyous, and his mercy endureth for euer. ² Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lorde or shewe forth all hys prayse? ³ Blessed are they that allwaye kepe iudgement, and do ryghteousnes. ⁴ Remembre me, O Lorde, accordynge to the fauoure that thou bearest vnto thy people: O vyset me wyth thy saluacyon. ⁵ That I maye se the felicite of thy chosen, and reioyse in the gladnesse of thy people, & geue thankes wyth thyne enherytaunce. ⁶ We haue synned wyth oure fathers, we haue done amysse, and dealt wyckedly. ⁷ Oure fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypte, nether kepte they thy greate goodnesse in remembraunce: but were disobedient at the see, euen at the reed see. ⁸ Neuertheles, he helped them for hys names sake, that he myght make hys power to be knowne. ⁹ He rebuked the reed see also, & it was dryed vp: so he ledd them thorow the depe as thorow a wyldernesse. ¹⁰ And he saued them from the aduersaries hande, and delyuered them from the hande of the enemye. ¹¹ As for those that troubled them, the waters ouerwhelmed them, there was not one of them left. ¹² Then beleued they hys wordes, and sange prayse vnto hym. ¹³ But wythin a whyle they forgat hys worckes, & wolde not abyde hys councell. ¹⁴ But lust came vpon them in the wildernesse, and they tempted God in the deserte. ¹⁵ And he gaue them their desyre, and sent leanesse withall in to their soule. ¹⁶ They angred Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the sayncte of the Lorde. ¹⁷ So the earth opened, and swalowed vp Dathan, & couered the congregacion of Abiram. ¹⁸ And the fyre was kyndled in their company, the flame brent vp the vngodly. ¹⁹ They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten ymage. ²⁰ Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a calfe, that eateth haye. ²¹ And they forgat God their Sauioure, which had done so greate thynges in Egipte. ²² Wonderous worckes in the lande of Ham, and fearfull thinges by the reed see. ²³ So he sayd he wolde haue destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stande before hym in that gappe: to turne awaye his wrathful indignacion, lest he shulde destroye them. ²⁴ Yee they thought scorne of that pleasaunt lande, and gaue no credence vnto his word. ²⁵ But murmured in their tentes, and herkened not vnto the voyce of the Lorde. ²⁶ Then lyft he vp his hand agaynst them, to ouerthrowe them in the wildernes. ²⁷ To cast out their sede amonge the nacions, and to scater them in the landes. ²⁸ They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor, and eate the offeringes of the deed. ²⁹ Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their awne inuencions and the plage was greate amonge them. ³⁰ Then stode vp Phinehes and prayed, & so the plage ceased. ³¹ And that was counted vnto him for righteousnesse, amonge all posterites for euermore. ³² They angered him also at the waters of stryfe, so that he punyshed Moses for their sakes. ³³ Because they prouoked his sprete, so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lyppes. ³⁴ Nether destroyed they the Heathen, as the Lorde commaunded them. ³⁵ But were myngled among the Heathen, and lerned their worckes. ³⁶ In so moch that they worshipped their ydoles, which turned to their awne decaye. ³⁷ Yee they offred their sonnes and their daughters vnto deuel ³⁸ And shed innocent bloude, euen the bloude of their sonnes & of their daughters, whom they offred vnto the ydoles of Canaan, and the lande was defyled with bloud. ³⁹ Thus were they stayned with their awne worckes, and went a whorynge wyth their awne inuencions. ⁴⁰ Therfore was the wrath of the Lorde kynled agaynst hys people, in so moch that he abhorred hys awne enheritaunce. ⁴¹ And he gaue them ouer into the hande of the Heathen, and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them. ⁴² Their enemyes oppressed them, and had them in subieccion. ⁴³ Many a tyme did he delyuer them, but they rebelled agaynst him with their awne inuencions, & were brought downe in their wyckednesse. ⁴⁴ Neuerthelesse, when he sawe their aduersyte, he herde their complaynte. ⁴⁵ He thought vpon his couenaunt, & pytied them, accordyng vnto the multitude of his mercyes. ⁴⁶ Yee he made all those that had ledd them awaye captiue, to pytie them. ⁴⁷ Delyuer vs (O Lorde oure God) and gather vs from amonge the Heathen: that we maye geue thanckes to thy holy name, & make oure boast of thy prayse. ⁴⁸ Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel from euerlastyng and worlde without ende, & let all people saye: Amen, Amen. Prayse the Lord ¹⁰⁷ ¹ O geue thanckes vnto the Lord, for he is gracyous, and his mercy endureth for euer. ² Let them geue thanckes whom the Lorde hath redemed, and delyuered from the hande of the enemye. ³ And gathered them out of the landes, from the East, and from the west, from the North and from the South. ⁴ They went a straye in the wildernesse out of the waye, & founde no citie to dwel in. ⁵ Hongrie & thirstye: their soule faynted in them. ⁶ So they cryed vnto the Lorde in their trouble, and he delyuered them from their distresse. ⁷ He led them forth by the ryght waye, that they myght go to the cytie where they dwelt. ⁸ O that men wolde therfor prayse the Lorde, for his goodnes, and declare the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men. ⁹ For he satisfyed the emptie soule, and filled the hongrye soule with goodnesse. ¹⁰ Soch as syt in darcknesse & in the shadow of death, beyng fast bound in mysery & yron. ¹¹ Because they rebelled agaynst the wordes of the Lorde, and lyghtly regarded the councell of the most hyghest, ¹² He also brought downe their hart thorow heuinesse: they fell downe, & there was noue to helpe them. ¹³ So whan they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, he deliuered them out of their distresse ¹⁴ For he brought them out of darcknesse & out of the shadow of death, & brake their bondes in sonder. ¹⁵ O that men wold therfore prayse the Lorde for hys goodnesse: & declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men. ¹⁶ For he hath broken the gates of brasse, and smytten the barres of yron in sonder, ¹⁷ Folysh men are plaged for their offence, & because of their wyckednesse. ¹⁸ Their soule abhorred all maner of meat, and they were euen hard at deathes dore. ¹⁹ So whan they cryed vnto the Lord in their trouble, he delyuered them out of their dystresse. ²⁰ He sent his word, and healed them, and they were saued from their destruccion. ²¹ O that men wold therfore prayse the Lorde for hys goodnesse, and declare the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men. ²² That they wold offre vnto hym the sacrifyce of thanckesgeuyng, and tell out hys worckes wt gladnes. ²³ They that go downe to the see in shyppes, and occupie their busynesse in great waters. ²⁴ These men se the worckes of the Lord, and his wonders in the deape. ²⁵ For at his word, the stormy wynd ariseth, which lyfteth vp the waues therof. ²⁶ They are caryed vp to the heauen, and downe agayne to the deape, their soule melteth awaye because of the trouble. ²⁷ They rele to and fro, and stacker lyke a droncken man, & are at their wittes ende. ²⁸ So whan they crye vnto the Lord in their trouble, he delyuereth them out of their distresse. ²⁹ For he maketh the storme to ceasse, so that the waues therof are styll. ³⁰ Then are they glad because they be at rest, and so he bryngeth them vnto the hauen where they wolde be. ³¹ O that men wold therfore prayse the Lorde for hys goodnes, and declare the wondres that he doth for the children of men. ³² That they wolde exalte him also in the congregacion of the people, and loaue him in the seat of the elders. ³³ Which turneth the floudes into a wildernesse: and dryeth vp the water sprynges. ³⁴ A frutefull lande maketh he baren, for the wyckednesse of them that dwell therin. ³⁵ Agayne, he maketh the wildernes a standynge water, and water sprynges of a drye ground. ³⁶ And there he setteth the hongrie, that they maye buylde them a cytie to dwell in ³⁷ That they maye sowe their londe, and plante vyneyardes, to yelde them frutes of increase. ³⁸ He blesseth them, so that they multiplye exceadingly, and suffreth not their catell to decrease. ³⁹ And agayne: when they are minished and brought lowe thorow oppression, thorow eny plag or trouble. ⁴⁰ Though he suffre them to be euell intreated thorowe tyrauntes, and lett them wandre out of the waye in the wildernesse. ⁴¹ Yet helpeth he the poore out of misery, & maketh him housholdes lyke a flocke of shepe. ⁴² The ryghteous wyll consydre this, and reioyse, & the mouth of all wyckednesse shall be stopped. ⁴³ Who so is wyse, wyll pondre these thynges: and they shall vnderstand the louyng kyndnesses of the Lord. ¹⁰⁸ ¹ A songe and a Psalme of Dauid. O god my hert is ready I will synge, and geue prayse, wt the best membre that I haue. ² Awake thou lute and harpe, I my selfe wyll awake ryght early. ³ I will geue thanckes vnto the (O Lorde) among the people, I wyll synge prayses vnto the among the nacions. ⁴ For thy mercy is greater then the heauens and thy trueth reacheth vnto the cloudes. ⁵ Set vp thy selfe (O God) aboue the heauens, and thy glory aboue all the earth. ⁶ That thy beloued maye be delyuered: let thy ryght hande saue them, and heare thou me. ⁷ God hath spoken in his holynes, I wyll reioyse. therfore, and deuyde Sichem, and meete out the valley of Suchoth. ⁸ Gilead is myne, and Manasses is myne, Ephraim also is the strength of my head, ⁹ Iuda is my lawgeuer. Moab is my washpotte, ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: vpon Philistea will I triumphe. ¹⁰ Who wyll leade me in to the stronge cytie? And who wyll bryng me in to Edom? ¹¹ Hast not thou forsaken vs (O God)? And wilt not thou God, go forth with oure hostes? ¹² O helpe vs agaynst the enemye: for vayne is the helpe of man. ¹³ Thorow God we shall do great actes: & it is he, that shall treade downe our enemyes. ¹⁰⁹ ¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid Holde not thy tonge (O God) of my prayse. For the mouth of the vngodly, yee and the mouth of the disceatfull is opened vpon me, ² & they haue spoken against me with false tonges. They compased me about also with wordes of hatred, & fought agaynst me without a cause. ³ For the loue that I had vnto them, lo, they take now my contrary part, but I geue my self vnto prayer. ⁴ Thus haue they rewarded me euell for good, and hatred for my good wyll. ⁵ Set thou an vngodly man to be ruler ouer hym, and let Satan stande at his ryght hande. ⁶ When sentence is geuen vpon him, let him be condemned, and let his prayer be turned into synne. ⁷ Let his dayes be few, and let another take his office. ⁸ Let his chyldren be fatherlesse, and his wyfe a wydow. ⁹ Let his children be vagaboundes, & begg their bred: lett them seke it also out of desolate places. ¹⁰ Let the extorcioner consume all that he hath, and let straungers spoyle his laboure. ¹¹ Let there be no man to petye hym, ner to haue compassyon vpon his fatherlesse chyldren. ¹² Let his posterite be destroyed, and in the next generacyon let hys name be cleane put out. ¹³ Let the wickednesse of hys fathers be had in remembraunce in the syght of the Lorde, and let not the synne of his mother be done awaye. ¹⁴ Let them alwaye be before the Lorde, that he maye rote out the memoriall of them from of the earth. ¹⁵ And that because hys mynde was not to do good, but persecuted the poore helplesse man, that he myght slaye him, that was vexed at the hert ¹⁶ His delyte was in cursyng, & it shall happen vnto him: he loued not blessyng, therfore shall it be farre from him. ¹⁷ He clothed him self with cursyng lyke as with a rayment: & it shall come in to his bowels lyke water, and lyke oyle in to hys bones. ¹⁸ Lett it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him, and as the gyrdle that he is allwaye gyrded wt all. ¹⁹ Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto myne enemyes, and to those that speake euell agaynst my soule. ²⁰ But deale thou wt me (O Lorde God) accordyng vnto thy name, for swete is thy mercy. ²¹ O delyuer me, for I am helplesse and poore, & my hert is wounded within me. ²² I go hence lyke the shadow that departeth, and am dryuen awaye as the greshopper. ²³ My knees are weake thorow fastyng, my flesh is dryed vp for want of fatnesse. ²⁴ I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that loked vpon me, shaked their heades. ²⁵ Helpe me (O Lord my God) oh saue me accordynge to thy mercye. ²⁶ And they shall know, how that thys is thy hand, and that thou Lord hast done it. ²⁷ Though they curse, yet blesse thou: ²⁸ and let them be confounded, that ryse vp agaynst me, but let thy seruaunt reioyse. ²⁹ Lett myne aduersaryes be clothed with shame: and let them couer them selues wt their owne confusion, as wt a cloake. ³⁰ As for me, I wyll geue great thanckes vnto the Lorde with my mouth, and prayse him among the multitude. ³¹ For he shall stand at the ryght hand of the poore, to saue his soule from vnryghteous iudges. ¹¹⁰ ¹ A Psalme of Dauid. The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde: Syt thou on my ryght hand, vntill I make thine enemyes thy fotestole. ² The Lord shall sende the rodde of thy power out of Sion, be thou ruler euen in the myddest among thyne enemyes. ³ In the daye of thy power shall thy people offre the frewyll offrynges wt an holy worshippe, the dewe of thy byrth is of the wombe of the mornyng. ⁴ The Lord sware, & wyll not repent: Thou art a prest for euer after the order of Melchisedec. ⁵ The Lorde vpon thy ryght hande, shall wounde euen kynges in the daye of his wrath. ⁶ He shall be iudge among the Heathen, he shall fyll the places with deed bodyes, & smyte a sonder the heades ouer diuerse countres. ⁷ He shall dryncke of the broke in the waye, therfore shall he lyft vp his head. ¹¹¹ ¹ Prayse the Lorde. I Wyll geue thanckes vnto the Lord with my whole hert: secretly among the faithfull, and in the congregacion. ² The worckes of the Lorde are great, sought out of all them that haue pleasure therin. ³ His worcke is worthy to be praysed & had in honoure, and his ryghteousnesse endureth for euer. ⁴ The mercyfull & gracyous Lorde hath so done his maruelous workes, that they ought to be had in remembraunce. ⁵ He hath geuen meat vnto them that feare him, he shal euer be mindfull of hys couenaunt. ⁶ He hath shewed his people the power of his worckes, that he maye geue them the herytage of the Heathen. ⁷ The worckes of his handes are veryte & iudgement, all his commaundmentes are true. ⁸ They stand fast for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equite. ⁹ He sent redempcyon vnto his people, he hath commaunded his couenaunt for euer, holy and reuerent is his name. ¹⁰ The feare of the Lorde is the begynning of wisdome, a good vnderstandyng haue all they that do therafter: the prayse of it endureth for euer. ¹¹² ¹ Prayse the Lorde. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, he hath great delyte in hys commaundmentes. ² His sede shall be myghtye vpon earth: the generacyon of the faytfull shalbe blessed: ³ Ryches and plenteousnesse shalbe in hys house, and his ryghteousnes endureth for euer. ⁴ Unto the godly there aryseth vp lyght in the darcknesse he is mercyfull, louyng and ryghteous. ⁵ A good man is mercyfull, and lendeth: and wyll gyde his wordes wt discrecion. ⁶ For he shall neuer be moued: and the ryghteous shall be had in an euerlasting remembraunce. ⁷ He will not be afrayed for eny euell tydinges, for his hert standeth fast, and beleueth in in the Lord. ⁸ His hert is stablished: & will not shryncke, vntill he se his desyre vpon his enemyes. ⁹ He hath sparsed abroad, and geuen to the poore: and his ryghteousnes remayneth for euer, hys horne shalbe exalted wyth honoure. ¹⁰ The vngodly shall se it, and it shall greue him: he shall gnash with his teeth, & consume awaye: the desyre of the vngodly shall perysh. ¹¹³ ¹ Prayse the Lorde.
