Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the chaunter Destroye not Michtam of Dauid. If youre myndes be vpon righteousnes in deede, then iudge the thyng that is ryght, O ye sonnes of men, ² But ye ymagyn mischefe in youre hertes and youre handes deale with wickednes. ³ The vngodly are froward, euen from their mothers wombe: as soone as they be borne, they go a stray and speake lyes. ⁴ They are as furyous as the serpent, euen lyke the deaf Ader that stoppeth her eares. ⁵ That she shoulde not heare the voyce of the charmer, charme he neuer so wisely. ⁶ Breake their teeth (O god) in their mouthes, smite the chaft bones of the lions whelpes in sonder, O Lord. ⁷ That they maye fall awaye, lyke water that runneth a pace: and that when they shote their arrowes, they maye be broken. ⁸ Let them consume away lyke a snaile, and lyke the vntymely frute of a woman, and let them not se the sunne. ⁹ Or euer your thorns be sharpe, the wrath shall take them awaye quicke, like a stormy wynde. ¹⁰ The ryghteous shal reioyse when he seith the vengeaunce, and shall washe hys fete in the bloud of the vngodly. ¹¹ So that men shall saye, verelye there is a rewarde for the righteous: doutles, there is a God that iudgeth the earth. ⁵⁹ ¹ To the chaunter destroye not Michtam of Dauid, when Saull sende to watche the house, to thintent to kyll hym. Delyuer me fro myne enemyes (O my God) and defende me from them that rise vp against me. ² O delyuer me from the wycked doers, and saue me from the bloudthursty men. ³ For lo, they lye wayting for my soule: the mighty men are gathered together agaynste me, withoute any offence or faulte of me, O Lorde. ⁴ They runne, & prepare them selfes, without my faute: Arise, come thou helpe me, and beholde. ⁵ Stande vp O Lord God of hostes, thou God of Israel to viset all Heythen: be not mercifull vnto theym that offende of malicious wyckednesse. Selah. ⁶ Let them go to and fro, and runne aboute the cytye, houlynge lyke dogges. ⁷ Beholde, they speake (agaynste me) wyth their mouth, swerdes are vnder their lippes for who reproueth them? ⁸ But thou (O Lorde) shalte haue theim in derision, thou shalte laugh all Heythen too scorne. ⁹ My strength do I ascrybe vnto the, for thou (O God) art my defender. ¹⁰ God sheweth me his goodnes plenteously, God letteth me se my desyre vppon myne enemyes. ¹¹ Slaye them not, leste my people forget it: but scatre them abroade with thy power, & put them doune, O Lord my defence. ¹² For the synne of their mouth, for the wordes of their lyppes, & because of their pryde, let them be taken: and why? their preachyng is of cursing and lyes. ¹³ Consume them in thy wrath, consume them that they maye perishe, and knowe that it is God, whyche ruleth in Iacob and in all the worlde. Selah. ¹⁴ Set them go to and fro, and runne aboute the cytye, houlyng lyke dogges. ¹⁵ Let them runne here and there for meate, and grudge when they haue not ynough. ¹⁶ As for me, I will synge of thy power, and prayse thy mercy by tymes in the mornyng: for thou art my defence & refuge in the tyme of my trouble. ¹⁷ Vnto the (O my strengthe) wyll I singe, for thou (O God) art my defence, & my mercifull God. ⁶⁰ ¹ To the chaunter, vpon the rose of wytnesse Michtam of Dauid, for too teache when he fought agaynst Syria of Mesopotania, & Syria of Zoba: and when Ioab turned backe, and slue .xij. thousand Edomytes. in the valley of Salt. O God, thou that hast cast vs out and scatered vs abroade, thou that hast bene so sore displeased at vs, comforte vs agayne. ² Thou that hast remoued the lande & deuided it, heale the sores therof, for it shaketh. ³ Thou hast shewed thy people heuy thinges, thou hast geuen vs a drynke of wyne, that we slombre with all. ⁴ Yet hast thou geuen a token for suche as feare the, that they maye caste it vp in the trueth. Selah. ⁵ That thy beloued myghte be delyuered, healpe them wyt thy ryghthande, and heare me. ⁶ God hath spoken in his Sanctuary (which thing reioyseth me) I wyll deuyde Sichem, and meate aut the valley of Suchoth. ⁷ Galaad is myne, Manasses is myne, Ephraim is the strength of myne head, Iuda is my Captayne. ⁸ Moab is my washpotte, ouer Edom will I stretche oute my shoue, Phylystea shalbe glad of me. ⁹ Who will leade me into the strong cytie? Who will bryng me into Edom? ¹⁰ Shalt not thou do it O God, thou that hast cast out: thou God, that wenteste not out with our hostes? ¹¹ O be thou our helpe in trouble, for vayne is the helpe of man. ¹² Thorow God we shal do great actes, for it is he that shall treade downe oure enemies ⁶¹ ¹ To the chaunter vpon Neginoth, of Dauid Heare my crying (O god) geue hede vnto my prayer. ² From the endes of the earth will I call vnto the, when my herte is in trouble: ³ Oh sette me vp vpon an hye rocke. For thou art my hope, a strong tower for me agaynst the enemye. ⁴ I wyll dwell in thy tabernacle for euer, that I maye be safe vnder the couerynge of thy wynges. Selah. ⁵ For thou, O Lord, hast harde my desyres, thou hast geuen an heretage vnto those that feare thy name. ⁶ Thou shalte graunte the Kynge a longe lyfe, that his yeares may endure thorow out all generacyons. ⁷ That he maye dwel before God for euer: Oh let thy louynge mercy and faythfulnes preserue hym. ⁸ So wyl I al away syng prayses vnto thy name, that I may dayly perfourme my vowes. ⁶² ¹ To the chaunter, for by Iduthun a Psalme of Dauyd. My soule wayteth onely vpon God, for of hym commeth my helpe. ² He only is my strength, my saluation, my defence, so that I shal not greatly fall. ³ How longe wyll ye ymagyn myschiefe agaynste euerye man? ye shalbe slayne all the sorte of you: yea as a tottrynge wall shall ye be, and lyke a broken hedge. ⁴ Their deuyce is only how to put hym out, their delite is in lyes: they geue good wordes wyth their mouth, but curse wyth the herte. Selah. ⁵ Neuerthelesse, my soule abideth only vpon God, for he is my God. ⁶ He only is my strength my saluacion, and my defence: so that I shall not fal. ⁷ In God is my helth, my glory, my might, and in God is my trust. ⁸ O put your trust in him alway (ye people) poure oute youre hertes before hym, for God is our hope. Selah. ⁹ As for men, they are but vayne, men are dysceatfull: vpon the weyghtes they are all together lyghter than vanitye it selfe. ¹⁰ O trust not in wronge and robbery, geue not youre selues vnto vanitye: if ryches encrease, set not your herte vpon them. ¹¹ God spake once a worde, twyse haue I hearde the same: that power belongeth vnto God ¹² That thou Lorde arte mercyfull, and that thou rewardeste euerye man accordynge to his worckes. ⁶³ ¹ A Psalme of Dauid, when he was in the wildernes of Iuda. O God, thou art my God: earlye wyll I seke the. My soule thrusteth for the, my flesh longeth after the in a baren and drye lande wher no water is. ² Thus do I loke for the in thy Sanctuary, that I myght beholde thy power and glorye, ³ For thy louynge kyndnesse is bettrr then lyfe, my lyppes shall prayse the. ⁴ As longe as I lyue wyll I magnyfye the and lyft vp my handes in thy name. ⁵ My soule is satisfied euen as it were with mary and fatnesse, when my mouth prayseth the with ioyful lyps. ⁶ In my bedde wyll I remember the, and when I wake my talkynge shalbe of the. ⁷ For thou hast bene my helper, and vnder the shadow of thy wynges wyl I reioyse. ⁸ My soule hangeth vpon the, thy ryghte hande vpholdeth me. ⁹ They seke after my soule, but in vayne, for they shall go vnder the earth. ¹⁰ They shall fall into the swerd, and be a porcyon for foxes. ¹¹ But the Kynge shall reioyse in God: all they that sweare by him, shalbe commended for the mouth of lyers shalbe stopped. ⁶⁴ ¹ To the chaunter a Psalme of Dauid. Heare my voice, O God, in my complaynte, preserue my lyfe from feare of the enemye. ² Hide me from the gathering together of the frowarde, from the heape of wycked doers. ³ Which whet their tonges lyke a sweard, and shote wyth their veneymous words like as with arowes. ⁴ That they maye preuely hurt the innocent sodenly to hyt him wythout any feare. ⁵ They haue deuysed myschefe, and communed amonge them selues, how they may laye snares: tush (saye they) who shall se them? ⁶ They ymagyn wyckednes, and kepe it secrete amonge them selues, euerye man in the depe of his herte. ⁷ But God shal sodenly shote wyth an arow that they shalbe wounded. ⁸ Yea their owne tonges shall make them fall, in somuch that who so seyth them, shall laugh them to scorne. ⁹ And all men that se it shal saye: thys hath God done, for they shall perceyue that it is hys worcke. ¹⁰ The righteous shal reioyse in the Lorde, and put his trust in him: and all they that are true of hert, shalbe glad therof. ⁶⁵ ¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme and song of Dauid. Thou, O God art, praised in Syon, and vnto the is the vow perfourmed. ² Thou hearest the praier, therfore commeth all fleshe vnto the. ³ Oure misededes preuaile agayust vs, Oh be thou mercyfull vnto our synnes. ⁴ Blessed is the man whom thou chosest and receauest vnto the, that he may dwell in thy courtes: he shalbe satisfied wyth the pleasures of thy house, euen of thy holy temple. ⁵ Heare vs, according vnto thy wonderfull rightuousnesse, O God oure saluation: thou that art the hope of all the endes of the earth, and of the broade sea. ⁶ Which in his strength setteth fast the mountaynes, and is gyrded aboute wyth power. ⁷ Which stilleth the ragynge of the sea, the roarynge of his waues, and the woodnes of the people. ⁸ They that dwell in the vttermoste partes are afrayed at thy tokens, thou makest both the mornyng and euenyng starres to prayse the. ⁹ Thou visitest the earth, thou waterest it. and makest it very plenteous. The riuer of god is ful of waters, thou preparest man hys corne, and thus thou prouydeste for the earth. ¹⁰ Thou waters, her forowes, thou breakest the harde clottes thereof, thou makest it softe with the droppes of rayne, and blessest the increase of it. ¹¹ Thou crownest the yeare wyth thy good and thy fotsteppes droppe fatnesse. ¹² The dwellinges of the wildernes are fat also, that they droppe wyth all: and the lytle hylles are pleasaunt on euerye syde. ¹³ The foldes are full of shepe, the valleyes stande so thicke with corne that they laughe and synge. ⁶⁶ ¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauyd. O be ioyfull in God, all ye landes, ² synge prayses vnto the honoure of his name, make hys prayse to be gloryous. ³ Saye vnto God: O howe wonderful are thy worckes? thorowe the greatenesse of thy power shall thine enemyes be confounded. ⁴ O that all the worlde woulde worshippe the, synge of the, and prayse thy name. Selah ⁵ O come hyther and beholde the worckes of God, which is so wonderful in his doinges amonge the chyldren of men. ⁶ He turned the sea into drye lande, so that they wente thorow the water on fote: therefore wyll we reioyse in him. ⁷ He ruleth wyth hys power for euer, hys eyes beholde the people: the rennagates shall not be able to exalte them selues. Selah. ⁸ O magnyfye oure God, ye people, make the voyce of his prayse to be hearde. ⁹ Whych holdeth oure soule in life, and suffreth not our fete to slyppe. ¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs lyke as syluer is tryed. ¹¹ Thou hast broughht vs into captyuyty, & layed trouble vpon oure loynes. ¹² Thou haste suffred men to ryde ouer oure heades, we went thorow fyre and water, but thou hast broughte vs out, and refreshed vs. ¹³ Therfore wyll I go into thy house wyth brentoffrynges, to paye the my vowes, ¹⁴ which I promysed with my lippes, and spake wyth my mouth, when I was in trouble. ¹⁵ I wyll offer vnto the fat brentsacrifyces wyth the smoke of rammes, I wyl offer bullockes and goates. Selah. ¹⁶ O come hither, and herken, all ye that feare God, I wyll tell you, what he hath done for my soule. ¹⁷ I called vnto hym wyth my mouthe, and gaue hym prayses wyth my toung. ¹⁸ If I enclyne vnto wyckednesse wyth my herte, the Lorde wyll not heare me. ¹⁹ Therfore God hath herde me, and consydred the voyce of my prayer. ²⁰ Praysed be God, which hath not cast out my prayer, ner turned his mercy fro me. ⁶⁷ ¹ To the chaunter, in Neginoth, a Psalm and songe. God be mercyfull vnto vs, blesse vs, and shewe the lyght of hys countenaunce vpon vs. Selah ² That we maye knowe thy waye vpon earth, thy sauynge helth among al Heathen. ³ Let the people prayse the, O God, yea let all people prayse the. ⁴ O let the people reioyse and be glad, that thou iudgest the folke ryghtuouslye, and gouernest the nacions vpon earth. ⁵ Let the people prayse the, O God, let al people prayse the. ⁶ God, euen oure owne God, geue vs hys blessynge, that the earth maye brynge forth her encrease. ⁷ God blesse vs, and let all the endes of the world feare hym. ⁶⁸ ¹ To the chaunter, a Psalm and song. of Dauid. Let God aryse, so shall hys enemyes be scattered, and they that hate hym, shall flee before hym. ² Lyke as the smoke vanysheth, so shalt thou dryue them away: and lyke as waxe melteth at the fyre so shal the vngodly perysh at the presence of God. ³ But the ryghtuous shalbe glad and reioyce before God, they shalbe mery and ioyfull. ⁴ Oh synge vnto God, synge prayses vnto his name: magnify hym that rydeth aboute the heauens (whose name is the Lord) & reioyce before hym. ⁵ He is a father of the fatherlesse, he is a defender of widdowes: euen God in his holy habytacyon. ⁶ He is the God that maketh men to be of one mynde in a house, and bryngeth the presoners out of captyuity in due season, but let the rennagates contynue in scarcenesse. ⁷ O God, when thou wenteste forth before the people, when thou wentest thorowe the wyldernesse. Selah. ⁸ The earth shoke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of God in Sinai, at the presence of God, whyche is the God of Israell. ⁹ Thou O God sendest a gracyous raine vpon thyne enherytaunce, and refreshest it when it is dry. ¹⁰ That thy beastes may dwel therin, which thou of thy goodnesse haste prepared for the poore. ¹¹ The Lorde shall geue the worde, wyth great hostes of Euangelystes. ¹² Kynges wyth their armyes shall fle, and they of the housholde shall deuyde the spoile ¹³ If so be that ye lye amonge the pales, the doues fethers shalbe couered with syluer, & her wynges of the colour of golde. ¹⁴ When the Almyghty setteth Kynges vpon the earth, it shalbe cleare euen in the darkne ¹⁵ The hyll of Basan is Gods hyl, the hil of Basan is a plenteous hyl. ¹⁶ Why hoppe ye so, ye greate hylles? It pleaseth God to dwell vpon thys hyll yea the Lorde wyll abide in it for euer. ¹⁷ The charettes of God are many .M. tymes thousande, the Lorde is among them in the holy Sinai. ¹⁸ Thou art gone vp an hye, thou hast ledde captiuitie captiue, and receyued gyftes for men: Yea, euen for thyne enemyes, that they might dwell with the Lord God. ¹⁹ Praysed be the Lord dayly, euen the God whiche helpeth vs, & poureth hys benefites vpon vs. Selah. ²⁰ The God that is our sauiour, euen God the Lord by whome we escape death. ²¹ The God that smyteth the enemies vpon the heades and vpon the heary scalpes: such as go on styll in their wickednes. ²² The Lorde hath sayde: some wil I bryng agayne from Basan, some wyll I brynge agayne from the depe of the sea. ²³ That thy fote may be dipped in the bloud of thyne enemyes, and that thy dogges may licke it vp. ²⁴ It is well sene, O God, how thou goest, howe thou my God and kynge goest in the Sanctuary. ²⁵ The singers go before, and then the mynstrels amonge the maydens with the tymbrels. ²⁶ O geue thankes vnto God the Lorde in the congregacion, for the welles of Israel. ²⁷ There lytle Beniamin, the princes of Iuda, the princes of Zabulon, & the princes of Nephthaly beare rule amonge them. ²⁸ Thy God hath commytted strength vnto the, stablyshe the thynge, O God, that thou hast wrought in vs. ²⁹ For thy temples sake at Hierusalem shall kynges brynge presentes vnto the. ³⁰ Reproue the beastes amonge the reedes, the heape of bulles with the calues: those that dryue for money. Oh scatre the people that delite in battaile. ³¹ The princes shall come out of Egipt, the Morians land shall stretch out her handes vnto God. ³² Synge vnto God, O ye kyngedomes of the earth: O syng prayses vnto the Lorde. Selah. ³³ Which sitteth in the heauens ouer all from the beginnynge: Lo, he shall sende oute hys voyce, yea, and that a mighty voyce. ³⁴ Ascrybe ye the power vnto God, his glory is in Israel, and his might in the cloudes. ³⁵ God is wonderfull in his Sanctuary, he is the God of Israel, he will geue strength and power vnto hys people. Blessed be God. ⁶⁹ ¹ To the chaunter vpon Sosanim of Dauid. Helpe me, O god, for the waters are come in, euen vnto my soule. ² I stycke fast in the depe myre where no ground is: I am come into depe waters, and the floudes wyll drowne me. ³ I am weery of crying, my throte is drye, my sight fayleth me, for waytinge so longe, vpon my God. ⁴ They that hate me without a cause, are mo then the heeres of my head: they that are myne enemyes & wolde destroye me giltlesse are mighty: I am fayne to paye the thinges that I neuer toke. ⁵ God thou knowest my simplenesse, and my faultes are not hyd from the. ⁶ Let not them that trust in the, O Lord God of hoostes, be ashamed for my cause: let not those that seke the, be confounded thorowe me, O God of Israel. ⁷ And why? for thy sake do I suffre reprofe, shame couereth my face. ⁸ I am become a straunger vnto my brethren, and an aleaunt vnto my mothers chyldren. ⁹ For the zele of thyne house hath euen eaten me, and the rebukes of them that rebuked the, is fallen vpon me. ¹⁰ I wepte and chastened my selfe with fastyng, and that was turned to my reprofe. ¹¹ I put on a sacke cloth, and therefore they iested vpon me. ¹² They that sate in the gate, spake agaynste me, & the dronkardes made songes vpon me. ¹³ But Lorde I made my prayer vnto the in an acceptable tyme. Heare me, O God, with thy great mercy and sure helpe. ¹⁴ Take me out of the myre, that I sinke not Oh let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the depe waters. ¹⁵ Lest the water floud drowne me, that the depe swalowe me not vp, and that the pytte shut not her mouth vpon me. ¹⁶ Heare me, O Lord, for thy louyng kyndnesse is comfortable: turne the vnto me according vnto thy great mercy. ¹⁷ Hyde not thy face from thy seruaunt, for I am in trouble: O haste the to helpe me. ¹⁸ Drawe nye vnto my soule, & saue it: Oh deliuer me because of myne enemyes. ¹⁹ Thou knowest my reprofe, my shame & my dishonoure: myne aduersaries are all in thy sight. ²⁰ The rebuke breaketh my herte, and maketh me heuy: I loke for some to haue pytye vpon me, but ther is no man: and for some to comforte me, but I fynde none. ²¹ They gaue me gall to eate, & when I was thurstye, they gaue me vinegar to dryncke. ²² Let their table be made a snare to take them selues with all, an occasyon to fall and a reward vnto them. ²³ Let their eyes be blinded, that they se not: and euer bow downe their backes. ²⁴ Power out thyne indignacyon vpon them, and let thy wrathfull dyspleasure take holde of them. ²⁵ Let theyr habytacyon be voyd, and no man to dwel in ther tentes. ²⁶ For they persecute hym whom thou hast smytten, and besyde thy woundes they haue geuen him mo. ²⁷ Let them fall from one wyckednesse to another, and not come into thy ryghtuousnesse. ²⁸ Let them be wyped out of the boke of the lyuynge, and not be wrytten amonge the ryghtuous. ²⁹ As for me, I am poore and in heuines, let thy helpe defend me O God. ³⁰ That I may praise the name of God, with a songe and magnyfye it wyth thanckesgeuynge. ³¹ Thys shall please the Lord better then a bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes. ³² O consyder this and be glad (ye that be in aduersytye) seke after God, and youre soule shall lyue. ³³ For the Lorde heareth the poore, and despyseth not hys priesoners. ³⁴ Let heauen and earth praise him, the sea & all that moueth ther in. ³⁵ For God wyll saue Syon, and buyld the cityes of Iuda, that men may dwel ther, and haue them in possession. ³⁶ The sede of his seruauntes shall inherette it, and they that loue hys name shall dwell therein. ⁷⁰ ¹ The chaunter, of Dauid to bryng to remembraunce. Hast the, O God, to deliuer me, and to helpe me, O Lord. ² Let them be shamed and confounded that seke after my soule let them be turned backward and put to confusyon, that wysh my euyl. ³ Let them sone be broughte to shame, that crye ouer me, there there. ⁴ But let all those that seke the, be ioyfull & gladde in the: and let al suche as delyte in thy sauynge health, saye alwaye: the Lorde be praysed. ⁵ As for me, I am poore and in misery, hast the God for to helpe me. Thou art my helpe, my redemer and my God: Oh make no long tarying. ⁷¹ ¹ In the, O Lord, is my trust, let me neuer be put to confusyon, ² but rydde me, and delyuer me thorow thy ryghtuousnesse: enclyne thyne eare vnto me, and helpe me. ³ Be thou my strong hold (wher vnto I may all waye fle) thou that hast promised to helpe me: for thou art my house of defence and my castell. ⁴ Deliuer me, O my God, out of the hand of the vngodly, oute of the hande of the vnryghtuous and cruell man. ⁵ For thou, O Lord God, art the thing that I long for, thou art my hope euen fro my youth. ⁶ I haue leaned vpon the euer sence I was borne, thou art he that toke me out of my mothers wombe therfore is my prayse all waye of the. ⁷ I am become a wonder vnto the multytude, but my sure trust is in the. ⁸ Oh let my mouth be filled with thy praise and honour all the day long. ⁹ Cast me not away in myne old age forsake me not when my strength fayleth me. ¹⁰ For myne enemyes speake agaynst me & they that laye wayte for my soule, take their councell together, ¹¹ sayinge: God hath forsaken hym, persecute hym, take hym, for there is none to helpe hym. ¹² Go not farre fro me, O God: my God, haste the to helpe me. ¹³ Let them be confounded and perysh, that are agaynste my soule: let theym be couered with shame and dishonoure, that seke too do me euell. ¹⁴ As for me, I wil paciently abyde alwaye, and will euer encrease thy prayse. ¹⁵ My mouth shall speake of thy righteousnesse and sauyng health all the day longe, for I knowe no ende therof. ¹⁶ Let me go in (O Lorde God) and I wyll make mencion of thy power and righteousnesse onely. ¹⁷ Thou, O God, haste learned me fro my youth vp vntyll now, therfore wyll I tell of thy wonderous workes. ¹⁸ Forsake me not, O GOD, in myne olde age, when I am gray headed: vntyll I haue shewed thyne arme vnto chylders chyldren, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come. ¹⁹ Thy righteousnes, O God, is very hye, thou that doest great thinges: O God, who is lyke vnto the? ²⁰ O what great troubles and aduersityes hast thou shewed me? and yet dyddest thou turne and refreshe me: yea, & broughtest me from the depe of the earth agayn. ²¹ Thou hast brought me to great honoure, and comforted me on euery syde. ²² Therfore wil I prayse the and thy faythfulnesse, O God, playing vpon the lute, vnto the will I singe vpon the harpe, O thou holy one of Israell. ²³ My lippes wolde fayne singe prayses vnto the: and so wolde my soule, whom thou hast deliuered. ²⁴ My tongue talketh of thy righteousnesse all the daye longe, for they are confounded and brought vnto shame, that soughte to do me euell. ⁷² ¹ Of Salomon.

Amen, Amen. ²⁰ Here ende the prayers of Dauid the sonne of Iesse. ⁷³ ¹ A Psalme of Asaph. O how louyng is God vnto Israel, to suche as are of a cleane hert? ² Neuerthelesse my fete were almost gone, my treadynges had well nye slypte. ³ And why? I was greued at the wicked, to se the vngodly in suche prosperitie. ⁴ For they are in no parell of deathe, but stande fast lyke a palace. ⁵ They come in no misfortune lyke other folke, neither are they plaged like other men. ⁶ And this is the cause that they be so puft vp in pryde, and ouerwhelmed with crueltie & vnrighteousnesse. ⁷ Their eyes swell for fatnesse, they do euen what they lyst. ⁸ Corrupte are they, and speake blasphemyes maliciouslye, proude and presumpteous are their wordes. ⁹ They stretche forth their mouthe vnto the heauen, and their tongue goeth thorow the worlde. ¹⁰ Therfore fall the people vnto them, and thereout sucke they no small auauntage. ¹¹ Tush (saye they) howe shoulde God perceiue it? is there knowlege in the most hyest? ¹² Lo, these are the vngodly, these prospere in the worlde, these haue ryches in possession. ¹³ Shoulde I then clense my herte in vayne (thougt I) and washe my handes in innocency? ¹⁴ Wherefore shoulde I be then punyshed dayly, & be chastened euery mornynge? ¹⁵ Yea, I had almoost also sayd euen as they: but lo, then shoulde I haue condemned the generacion of thy chyldren. ¹⁶ Then thought I, to vnderstande this, but it was to harde for me. ¹⁷ Vntyll I wente into the Sanctuary of God, and considred the ende of these men. ¹⁸ Namely, how thou hast set them in a slippery place, that thou mayst cast them doune headlinges and destroye them. ¹⁹ O how sodenly do they consume, perysh, and come to a fearful ende? ²⁰ Yea, euen like as a dreame when one awaketh, so makest thou their ymage too vanysh out of the cytye. ²¹ Thus my hert was greued, and it wente euen thorow my reynes. ²² So folysh was I and ignoraunte, and as it were a beast before the. ²³ Neuerthelesse I am al waye by the, thou holdest me by my right hande. ²⁴ Thou leadest me with thy counsayll, and afterwarde receyuest me vnto glory. ²⁵ O what is there prepared for me in heauen? there is nothinge vpon earthe, that I desyre in comparyson of the. ²⁶ My fleash & my hert fayleth, but God is the strength of my herte, and my porcion for euer. ²⁷ For lo, they that forsake the shall perysh: thou destroyest all them that committe fornicacion agaynst the. ²⁸ But it is good for me, to holde me fast by God, to put my trust in the Lorde God, and to speake of all thy workes. ⁷⁴ ¹ An instruccion of Asaph. O God, wherfore doest thou cast vs so cleane away? why is thy wrath so hoote agaynste the shepe of thy pasture? ² O thynke vpon thy congregacion, whome thou hast purchased from the beginnyng: the stafe of thyne enheritaunce, whome thou hast redemed, euen this hyll of Sion wherein thou dwellest. ³ Treade vpon them with thy fete, and cast them doune to the grounde, for the enemye hath destroyed altogether in the Sanctuary. ⁴ Thyne aduersaries roare in thy houses, & set vp their banners for tokens. ⁵ Men may se the axes glyster aboue, lyke as those that hewe in the wood. ⁶ They cut doune all the syelyng worke of the Sanctuary with bylles and axes. ⁷ They haue set fyre vpon the Sanctuary, they haue defyled the dwellyng place of thy name, euen vnto the grounde. ⁸ Yea, they say in their hertes: let vs spoyle them altogether, thus haue they brent vp all the houses of God in the lande. ⁹ We se oure tokens no more, there is not one Prophet more, no not one that vnderstandeth any more. ¹⁰ O God, how long shall the aduersary do this dishonoure? how longe shall the enemy blaspheme thy name? for euer? ¹¹ Why withdrawest thou thine hand? why pluckest thou not thy right hande out of thy bosome, to consume thyne enemyes? ¹² But God is my Kynge of olde, the helpe that is done vpon earth, he doth it hym selfe. ¹³ Thou deuidest the sea thorow thy power thou breakest the heades of the dragons in the waters. ¹⁴ Thou smitest the heades of Leuiathan in peces, and geuest him to be meate for people in the wyldernes. ¹⁵ Thou diggest vp welles and brokes, thou dryest vp myghty waters. ¹⁶ The daye is thyne, and the nyght is thine thou hast prepared the lightes and the sunne. ¹⁷ Thou hast set all the borders of the earth, thou hast made both sommer and winter. ¹⁸ Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy rebuketh, and howe the folyshe people blaspheme thy name. ¹⁹ O delyuer not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beastes, and forget not the congregacyon of the poore for euer. ²⁰ Loke vpon the couenaunte, for the darcke houses of the earth are full of wyckednesse. ²¹ O let not the symple go awaye ashamed: for the poore and nedy geue prayses vnto thy name. ²² Aryse, O God, and mayntaine thine own cause, remembre howe the folyshe man blasphemeth the daylye. ²³ Forget not the voyce of thyne enemyes, for the presumptyon of them that hate the, increaseth euer more and more ⁷⁵ ¹ To the chaunter destroye not, a Psalme and song of Asaph. Vnto the, O God, wil we geue thankes, yea vnto the wyll we geue thanckes, and seynge thy name is so ny, we wil tel of thy wonderous worckes. ² When I maye get a conuenyent tyme, I shall iudge accordyng vnto ryght. ³ The earh is weake and al that is therein, but I beare vp her pyllers. ⁴ I sayde vnto the madde people, deale not so madly, and to the vngodly set not vp your hornes. ⁵ Set not vp your hornes on hie, and speake not wyth a styfe necke. ⁶ For promocyon commeth neyther from the East ner from the weste, ner yet from the wyldernesse ⁷ And why? God is the Iudge: he putteth downe one, and setteth vp another. ⁸ For in the hand of the Lord ther is a cup full of strong wyne, and he poureth oute of the same: As for the dregges therof, al the vngodly of the earth shall dryncke them, and sucke them oute. ⁹ But I wyll talke of the God of Iacob, & prayse him for euer. ¹⁰ Al the hornes of the vngodly wil I breake and the hornes of the ryghtuous shall be exalted. ⁷⁶ ¹ To the chaunter, in Neginoth, a Psalm and songe of Asaph. In Iuda is God knowne, hys name is great in Israel. ² At Salem is hys tabernacle, and his dwellinge in Sion. ³ Ther breaketh he the arowes of the bow, the shylde, the swearde, and the whole battaylle, Selah. ⁴ Thou art of more honour and might then the hylles of robbers. ⁵ The proude shalbe robbed and slepe their slepe, and the myghtye shalbe able to do nothyng with their handes. ⁶ When thou rebukest them, O God of Iacob, both the charrettes and horsemen shall fal on slepe. ⁷ Thou art fearful, for who maye abyde in thi sight, when thou art angry? ⁸ When thou lettest thy iudgment be heard from heauen, the earth trembleth and is stil. ⁹ Yea when God aryseth to geue iudgment and to helpe all them that be in aduersyty vpon earth. Selah. ¹⁰ When thou punyshest one man, he muste knowledge that thou arte readye to punyshe other mo. ¹¹ Loke what ye promise vnto the Lord your God, se that, ye kepe it, all ye that be rounde about him: brynge presentes vnto hym that ought to be feared. ¹² Which taketh awaye the breth of Prynces, and is wonderfull amonge the Kynges of the earth. ⁷⁷ ¹ To the chaunter, for Iduthun. a Psalme of Asaph. I cryed vnto God wyth my voyce, yea vnto God cryed I wyth my voyce, and he hearde me. ² In the tyme of my trouble I soughte the Lorde, I helde vp myne handes vnto him in the night season, for my soule refused all other comforte. ³ When I was in heuinesse, I thought vpon God: when my hert was vexed, then dyd I speake Selah. ⁴ Thou heldest myne eyes wakyng, I was so feble, that I coulde not speake. ⁵ Then remembred I the tymes of old, and the yeares that were past. ⁶ I called to remembraunce my song in the night, I communed wyth myne owne herte, and sought out my spirite. ⁷ Wyll the Lorde cast out for euer? Wyl he be no more intreated? ⁸ Is hys mercye cleane gone? Is hys promyse come vtterlye to an ende for euermore? ⁹ Hath the Lord forgotten to be gracyous? Or, hath he shut vp hys louynge kyndnes in dyspleasure? Selah. ¹⁰ At the last, I came to thys poynte, that I thought: O why art thou so folysh? the right hande of the moost hyest can chaunge all. ¹¹ Therefore wyll I remembre the worckes of the Lorde, and call to mynde thy wonders of olde tyme. ¹² I wyll speake of all thy worckes, and my talkynge shalbe of thy doynges. ¹³ Thy waye, O God, is holye: who is so great and myghty as God? ¹⁴ Thou arte the God that doeth wonders, thou hast declared thy power amonge the people ¹⁵ Thou wyth thyne arme hast delyuered thy people, euen the sonnes of Iacob and Ioseph. Selah. ¹⁶ The waters saw the, O God, the waters sawe the, & were afrayed, the deapthes were moued. ¹⁷ The thicke cloudes poured out water, the cloudes thondered, and thyne arowes went abroade. ¹⁸ The thonder was hearde rounde aboute, the lyghtenynges shone vpon the grounde, the earth was moued and shoke wyth al. ¹⁹ Thy waye was in the sea, and thy pathes in the greate waters, yet coulde noman know thy fotesteppes. ²⁰ Thou leddeste thy people lyke a flocke of shepe, by the hande of Moyses and Aaron. ⁷⁸ ¹ An instruccyon of Asaph. Heare my lawe, O my people, enclyne your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth. ² I wyll open my mouth in parables, and speake of thynges of olde. ³ Whych we haue herde and knowne, and such as our fathers haue told vs. ⁴ That we shoulde not hyde them from the chyldren of the generations to come: but to shewe the honoure of the Lorde, hys myghte and wonderfull worckes that he hath done. ⁵ He made a couenaunte wyth Iacob, and gaue Israel a lawe, whiche he commaunded oure forefathers to teache their chyldren. ⁶ That their posterytye myghte knowe it, and the chyldren whych were yet vnborne. To thintent that when they came vp they myghte shewe their chyldren the same. ⁷ That they also myghte put their truste in God, & not to forget what he had done, but to kepe his commaundementes, ⁸ And not to be as their forefathers, a froward and ouerthwarte generatyon, a generation that set not their herte a ryghte, and whose spirite was not true towarde God. ⁹ Lyke as the chyldren of Ephraim, which beyng harnessed and carieng bowes, turned them selues backe in tyme of battayl. ¹⁰ They kept not the couenant of god, and wold not walke in his law. ¹¹ They forgate what he had done, and the wonderfull workes that he had shewed for them. ¹² Maruelous thynges dyd he in the sighte of our fathers in the lande of Egipt, euen in the felde of Zoan. ¹³ He deuided the sea & let them go thorowe it, & made the waters to stande like a wall. ¹⁴ In the daye tyme he ledde them with a cloude, and all the night thorow with a light of fyre. ¹⁵ He cloaue the harde rockes in the wildernesse, & gaue them drynke therof, as it hadde bene out of the great deapth. ¹⁶ He brought waters out of the stony rock, so that they gusshed out lyke the ryuers. ¹⁷ Yet for all this they synned agaynste hym, and prouoked the moost hyest in the wyldernes. ¹⁸ They tempted God in their hertes, and requyred meate for their lust. ¹⁹ For they spoke agaynst God, & sayde: yea yea, God shall prepare a table in the wildernesse, shall he? ²⁰ Lo, he smote the stony rocke, that the watery streames gusshed out, and the streames flowed with all: but how can he geue bread and prouyde flesh for hys people? ²¹ When the Lord hearde this, he was wroth so the fyre was kyndled in Iacob, and heauy displeasure agaynst Israel. ²² Because they beleued not in God, & putte not their trust in hys helpe. ²³ So he commaunded the cloudes aboue, & opened the dores of heauen. ²⁴ He rayned doune Manna vpon them for to eate, and gaue them bread from heauen. ²⁵ Then eate they aungels fode, for he sentte them meate ynough. ²⁶ He caused the East wynd to blowe vnder the heauen, & thorow hys power he brought in the South wynde. ²⁷ He made flesh to raine vpon them as thicke as dust, and fethered foules like as the sande of the sea. ²⁸ He let it fall amonge their tentes rounde about theyr habitacions. ²⁹ So they eate, and were fylled, for he gaue them their owne desyre. ³⁰ They were not disapoynted of their lust. But whyle the meate was yet in their mouthes: ³¹ the heuy wrath of God came vpon them, slewe the welthiest of them, & smote doune the chosen men of Israel. ³² But for all this they sinned yet more, and beleued not hys wonderous workes. ³³ Therfore their dayes were consumed in vanyte, and sodenly their yeares were gone. ³⁴ When he slewe them, they sought hym, & turned them early vnto God. ³⁵ They thoughte then that God was theyr succour, and that the hye God was their redemer. ³⁶ Neuerthelesse they dyd but flatter him in their mouthes, and dissembled with hym in their tonges. ³⁷ For their herte was not whole with him, neither continued they in his couenaunt. ³⁸ But he was so mercifull, that he forgaue their misdedes, and destroyed them not. Yea, many a tyme turned he hys wrathe awaye, and wolde not suffre hys whole dyspleasure to aryse. ³⁹ For he considered that they wer but flesh: euen a wynde that passeth awaye, and commeth not agayne. ⁴⁰ O how ofte haue they greued hym in the wyldernesse? How many a tyme haue they prouoked hym in the deserte? ⁴¹ They turned backe, and tempted God, & moued the holy one in Israel. ⁴² They thought not of hys hand, in the day when he delyuered them from the hande of the enemye. ⁴³ Howe he had wroughte hys myracles in Egypte, and hys wonders in the lande of Zoan. ⁴⁴ How he turned their waters into bloude, so that they myghte not dryncke of the ryuers. ⁴⁵ How he sent lyce among them, to eate them vp, and frogges to destroye them. ⁴⁶ How he gaue their frutes vnto the catyrpyller, & their labour vnto the greshopper. ⁴⁷ How he bete doune theyr vyneyardes wt hayle stones, and their molbery trees wyth the frost. ⁴⁸ How he smote theyr cattel with haylestones, & their flockes with hote thonder boltes. ⁴⁹ How he sent vppon them the furiousnesse of his wrath, anger & displeasure: with trouble and falling in of euell aungels. ⁵⁰ When he made a waye to hys fearful indignacion, and spared not their soules from death, yea, & gaue their cattell ouer to the pestilence. ⁵¹ When he smote al the first born in Egipt, the mooste principall and mightyest in the dwellynges of Ham. ⁵² But as for his owne people, he lead them forth lyke shepe, and caried them in the wyldernesse lyke a flocke. ⁵³ He brought them out safely, that they shoulde not feare, and ouerwhelmed their enemyes with the sea. ⁵⁴ He caryed them vnto the borders of his Sanctuary: euen into thys hyl, which he purchased with hys ryghthande. ⁵⁵ He dyd cast out the Heathen before them, caused their lande to be deuyded among them for an heritage, and made the trybes of Israel to dwell in their tentes. ⁵⁶ For all this they tempted & displeased the most hye God, and kept not hys couenaunt. ⁵⁷ But turned their backes, and fell awaye lyke their forefathers, startynge asyde like a broken boowe. ⁵⁸ And so they greued hym with theyr hye places, & prouoked him with their ymages. ⁵⁹ When God hearde thys, he was wroth, and toke sore dyspleasure at Israell. ⁶⁰ So that he forsoke the Tabernacle in Silo, euen his habitacyon wherin he dwelte amonge men. ⁶¹ He delyuered their power into captyuitye and their glory into the enemies hande. ⁶² He gaue his people ouer into the swearde for he was wroth wyth hys herytage. ⁶³ The fyre consumed their yonge men, and their maydens were not geuen to mariage. ⁶⁴ Their Prestes were slaine with the swerd and there were no wyddowes to make lamentacyon. ⁶⁵ So the Lorde, awaked as one oute of slepe, and lyke a gyaunte refreshed wyth wyne. ⁶⁶ He smote hys enemyes in the hynder partes, and put them to perpetuall shame. ⁶⁷ He refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the trybe of Ephraim. ⁶⁸ Neuertheles, he chose the trybe of Iuda, euen the hyll of Syon which he loued. ⁶⁹ And there he buylded hys temple on hye, and layd the foundation of it like the ground that it myght perpetually endure. ⁷⁰ He chose Dauid also hys seruaunte, and toke hym away from the shepe foldes. ⁷¹ As he was folowynge the yewes greate with yonge, he toke him, that he myghte fede Iacob hys people, & Israel hys enherytance. ⁷² So he fedde them wyth a fayethfull and true herte, and ruled them wyth diligence of of his power. ⁷⁹ ¹ A Psalme of Asaph. O God, the Heathen are fallen into thyne heritage: the holy temple haue they defiled, and made Ierusalem an heape of stones. ² The deade bodye of thy seruauntes haue they geuen vnto the foules of the ayre to be deuoured, and the flesh of thy saintes vnto the beastes of the lande. ³ Their bloude haue they shed lyke water on euery syde of Ierusalem, and ther was no man to bury them. ⁴ We are become an open shame vnto oure enemyes, a verye scorne and derysyon vnto them that are rounde aboute vs. ⁵ Lorde, howe longe wylt thou be angrye? shall thy ielousy burne lyke fyre for euer? ⁶ Poure oute thyne indignacyon vpon the Heathen that knowe the not, and vpon the Kyngdomes that call not vpon thy name. ⁷ For they haue deuoured Iacob, and laied wast his dwellynge place. ⁸ O remembre not oure olde synnes, but haue mercye vpon vs, and that soone, for we are come to greate mysery. ⁹ Helpe, vs, O God oure sauyoure, for the glory of thy name: O deliuer vs, and forgeue vs oure synnes for thy names sake. ¹⁰ Wherfore shall the Heathen say: wher is now their God? O lette the vengeaunce of thy seruauntes bloude that is shed, be openly shewed vpon the Heathen in our syght. ¹¹ O Let the sorowfull sighehyng of the presoners come before the, and accordinge vnto the power of thyne arme, preserue those that are appoynted to dye. ¹² And for the blasphemye wherewyth oure neyghboures haue blasphemed the, rewarde them, O Lorde, seenu folde into theyr bosome. ¹³ So we that be the people and shepe of thy pasture, shall geue the thanckes for euer, and wyll all waye be shewynge forth thy prayse more and more. ⁸⁰ ¹ To the chaunter, vpon Sosanim, a Psalme of Asaph. Heare O thou shepeherde of Israel, thou that leadest Iacob lyke a flocke of shepe: shew thy self, thou that sittest vppon the Cherubyns. ² Before Ephraim, Beniamin, and Manasses: stirre vp thy power, & come help vs. ³ Turne vs agayn, O God, shew the light of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe whole. ⁴ O Lord God of hostes, howe longe wilt thou be angry ouer the praier of thy people? ⁵ Thou hast fed them with the bread of teares, yea, thou hast geuen them plenteousnes of teares to drynke. ⁶ Thou haste made vs a verye stryfe vnto oure neyghbours, and oure enemyes laugh vs to scorne. ⁷ Turne vs agayne, thou God of hoostes, shewe the light of thy countenaunce, & we shalbe whole. ⁸ Thou hast broughte a vyneyarde oute of Egypte, thou diddest cast out the Heathen, & planted it. ⁹ Thou madest rowme for it, and caused it to take rote, so that it fylled the lande. ¹⁰ The hylles were couered with the shadow of it, and so were the stronge Cedre trees wt the bowes therof. ¹¹ She stretched out her braunches vnto the sea, and her bowes vnto the water. ¹² Why haste thou then broken doune her hedge, that all they whiche go by, plucke of her grapes? ¹³ Then wylde bore out of the wood hath roted it vp, and the beastes of the felde haue deuoured it. ¹⁴ Turne the agayne, thou God of hoostes, loke doune from heauen, beholde and vyset this vyneyarde. ¹⁵ Maynteyne it, that thy rightehande hath planted, and the sonne whom thou madest so muche of for thy self. ¹⁶ For why? it is brent with fyre, and lyeth waste: O let them peryshe at the rebuke of thy wrath. ¹⁷ Let thy hande be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the man whome thou madest so much of for thyne owne selfe. ¹⁸ And so will not we go back from the: Oh let vs lyue, & we shall call vpon thy name. ¹⁹ Turne vs agayne, O Lorde God of hoostes, shewe the light of thy countenaunce, & we shalbe whole. ⁸¹ ¹ To the chaunter vpon Githith, of Asaph. Singe merely vnto God which is our strengthe, make a chearfull noyse vnto the god of Iacob. ² Take the Psalme, brynge hyther the tabret, the mery harpe & lute. ³ Blowe vp the trompettes in the new mone, vpon our solempne feast daye. ⁴ For this is the vse in Israel, and a lawe of the God of Iacob. ⁵ This he ordeined in Ioseph for a testimony, when he came out of Epipt, & had heard a straunge language. ⁶ When he eased hys shoulder from the burthen, and when hys handes were deliuered from the pottes. ⁷ When thou callest vpon me in trouble, I helped the, and hearde the, what tyme as the storme fell vpon the, I proued the also at the water of stryfe. Selah. ⁸ Heare, O my people, for I assure the O Israel, if thou wilt herken vnto me: ⁹ There shal no straunge God be in the, neither shalt thou worshippe any other God. ¹⁰ I am the Lord thy God, which broughte the out of the lande of Egipt, open thy mouth wyde, and I shall fyll it. ¹¹ But my people wolde not heare my voice and Israel wolde not obey me. ¹² So I gaue them vp vnto their owne hertes luste, and let them folowe theyr owne ymaginacions. ¹³ O that my people wolde obeye me, for if Israel wolde walke in my wayes: ¹⁴ I should soone put doune their enemyes, and turne myne hande againste their aduersaries. ¹⁵ The haters of the Lord should mysse Israel, but their tyme shoulde endure for euer. ¹⁶ He should feade them with the finest wheat floure, and satisfye them with hony out of the stony rocke. ⁸² ¹ A Psalme of Asaph. God standeth in the congregacion of the Goddes, and is a iudge amonge the iudges. ² How long will ye geue wrong iudgement, and accept the personnes of the vngodly? Selah. ³ Defende the poore and fatherlesse, se that suche as be in nede & necessitie haue right. ⁴ Deliuer the outcaste & poore, & saue hym from the hande of the vngodly. ⁵ Neuerthelesse, they will not be learned & vnderstande, but walke on styll in darkenesse: therfore must all the foundacions of the lande be moued. ⁶ I haue sayde: ye are Goddes, ye all are the chyldren of the moost hyest. ⁷ But ye shall dye lyke men, and fall lyke one of the tyrauntes. ⁸ Aryse, O God, & iudge thou the earth, for all the Heathen are thyne by enheritaunce. ⁸³ ¹ A songe and Psalme of Asaph. Holde not thy tongue, O God, kepe not styll silence, refrayne not thy self O God. ² For lo, thyne enemies make a murmurynge, and they that hate the, lyft vp their heade. ³ They ymagyn craftely agaynst thy people, and take counsayll agaynste thy secrete ones. ⁴ Come (saye they) let vs rote them out from amonge the people, that the name of Israell maye be put out of remembraunce. ⁵ For they haue caste their heades together with one consent, & are confederate agaynst the. ⁶ The tabernacles of the Edomites and Ismaelytes, the Moabytes and Hagarenes. ⁷ Gebal, Ammom, and Amalech: the Philistines with them that dwell at Tyre. ⁸ Assur also is ioyned vnto them, and helpe the chyldren of Loth. Selah. ⁹ But do thou to them as vnto the Madianites, vnto Sisera, and vnto Iabin by the broke of Kyson. ¹⁰ Whych peryshed at Endor, & became as the donge of the earth. ¹¹ Make their prynces lyke Oreb & Zeb. Yea, make all their prynces lyke as Zebea & Salmana. ¹² Whiche saye: we will haue the houses of God in possession. ¹³ O my God, make them lyke vnto a whele, and as the stubble before the wynde. ¹⁴ Lyke as a fyre that burneth vp the wood, and as the flame that consumeth the mountaynes. ¹⁵ Persecute them euen so with thy tempest, and make them afrayed with thy storme. ¹⁶ Make their faces ashamed, O Lord that they maye seke thy name. ¹⁷ Let them be confounded and vexed euer more and more: let them be put to shame and perishe. ¹⁸ That they may know that thou art alone that thy name is the Lorde, & that thou onely art the moost hyest ouer all the earth. ⁸⁴ ¹ Vpon Githith, a Psalm of the sonnes of Corah. O howe amiable are thy dwellinges, thou Lord of hoostes? ² My soule hath a desyre & longing for the court of the Lord, my hert and my fleshe reioyse in the lyuyng God. ³ For the sparow hath founde her an house and the swalow a nest, where she maye laye her yonge: euen thy aulters O Lorde of hostes, my kynge and my God. ⁴ O how blessed are they that dwell in thy house, they are all way praysing the. Selah. ⁵ Blessed are the men whose strengthe is in the, in whose herte are thy wayes. ⁶ Which goinge thorow the vale of misery vse it for a well, and the poles are filled with water. ⁷ They go from strength to strength, and so the God of Goddes appeareth vnto them in Sion. ⁸ O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: herken O God of Iacob. ⁹ Beholde O God our defence, loke vpon the face of thyne anoynted. ¹⁰ For one daye in thy courte is better then a thousande. I had rather be a dore keper in the house of my God, then to dwell in the tentes of the vngodly. ¹¹ For the Lord God is a light and defence, the Lorde wyll geue grace and worshyppe, and no good thynge shall he wytholde from them that lyue a godly lyfe. ¹² O Lorde God of Hostes, blessed is the man that putteth his truste in the. ⁸⁵ ¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of the sonnes of Corah. Lorde, thou barest a loue vnto thy land thou dydest brynge agayne the captyuyte of Iacob. ² Thou dydest forgeue the offence of thy people, and couerdest al their synnes. Sela. ³ Thou takest away al thy displeasure, and turnedest thy selfe from thy wrathfull indignacyon. ⁴ Turne vs then.

Thou bringest fode out of the earth: ¹⁵ wyne to make glad the herte of man, oyle to make hym a chearfull countenaunce and bread to strength mans herte. ¹⁶ The trees of the Lord are ful of sappe, euen the trees of Libamis whiche he hathe planted. ¹⁷ There make the byrdes their nestes, & the fyrre hylles are a dwellyng for the storke. ¹⁸ The hilles are a refuge for the wilde goates, & so are the stony rockes for the conyes. ¹⁹ Thou hast appoynted the moone for certayne seasons, the sunne knoweth hys going doune. ²⁰ Thou makest darkenesse, that it maye be night, wherin all the beastes of the forest do moue. ²¹ Yea, and the yonge lyons which roare after their praye, and seke their meate at God. ²² But when the sunne aryseth, they get them awaye together, and lye them doune in their dennes. ²³ Then goeth man forth to hys worke, and to tyll hys lande vntyll the euenynge. ²⁴ O Lord, how manifolde are thy workes, right wisely hast thou made them al: yea, the earth is full of thy ryches. ²⁵ So is this great & wyde sea also, wherein are thynges creping innumerable, both smal and great beastes. ²⁶ There go the shippes ouer, and there is the Leuiathan, whom thou hast made, to take hys pastyme therein. ²⁷ They wayte all vpon the, that thou mayest geue them meate in due season. ²⁸ When thou geuest it them, they gather it: when thou openest thyne hande, they are filled with good. ²⁹ But when thou hydest thy face, they are sorowfull: if thou takest awaye their breth, they dye, & are turned agayne to their dust. ³⁰ Agayne, when thou lettest thy brethe goo forth, they are made, and so thou renuest the face of the earth. ³¹ The glorious maiesty of the Lorde endureth for euer, & the Lorde reioyseth in hys workes. ³² The earth trembleth at the loke of hym, he doethe but touche the hylles and they smoke. ³³ I wyll synge vnto the Lorde as longe as I lyue, I will prayse my God whyle I haue my beyng. ³⁴ O that my wordes might please hym, for my ioye is in the Lorde. ³⁵ As for synners, they shalbe consumed out of the earth, and the vngodlye shall come to an ende: but prayse thou the Lorde, O my soule. Prayse the euerlastynge. ¹⁰⁵ ¹ O geue thankes vnto the Lord, and cal vpon his name: tel the people what thynges he hath done. ² O let your songes be of him prayse hym, and let your talking be of al hys wonderous workes. ³ Gyue hys holye name a good report lette their hertes reioyse that seke the Lord. ⁴ Seke the Lord, and his strength, seke his face euermore. ⁵ Remember the maruelous worckes that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgementes of his mouth. ⁶ O ye sede of Abraham hys seruaunte, ye chyldren of Iacob hys chosen. ⁷ He is the Lorde oure God, whose punishmentes are thorow oute all the worlde. ⁸ He is alwaye myndeful of his couenaunt and promyse that he made to a thousand generations. ⁹ Yea the couenant that he made with Abraham, and the oth that, he sware vnto Isaac, ¹⁰ And appoynted the same vnto Iacob for a lawe, and to Israell for an euerlastynge testamente. ¹¹ Sayenge: vnto the wyl I geue the land of Canaan, the lot of your heritage. ¹² When there was yet but a fewe of them, and the straungers therin. ¹³ What tyme as they wente from one nacyon to another, from one kyngedome to another. ¹⁴ He suffered no man to hurt them, but reproued euen kynges for their sakes. ¹⁵ Touch not myne anoynted, do my prophetes no harme. ¹⁶ Moreouer he called for a dearth vpon the lande, and destroyed all the prouysyon of breade. ¹⁷ But he had sente a man before them, euen Ioseph whiche was solde to be a bonde seruaunte. ¹⁸ They hurte hys fete in the stockes the yron pearsed hys hert. ¹⁹ Vntill the tyme that his worde, and tyll the word of the Lorde had tryed hym. ²⁰ Then sent the kyng & caused him to be deliuered, the prince of the people bad let him go ²¹ He made him Lorde of hys house, and ruler of all hys substaunce. ²² That he might enfourme his princes after hys wyl, & teach his Senatoures wisedom. ²³ Israell also came into Egipte, and Iacob was a straunger in the lande of Ham. ²⁴ But he increased hys people exceadyngly and made them stronger then their enemyes. ²⁵ Whose hert turned so that they hated his people: and dealt vntruly wt hys seruauntes. ²⁶ Then sente he Moses his seruaunte, and Aaron, whome he had chosen. ²⁷ These dyd his tokens amonge them, and wonders in the lande of Ham. ²⁸ He sente darcknesse and it was darcke, for they were not obedyent vnto hys worde. ²⁹ He turned their waters into bloude, and slew theyr fysh. ³⁰ Their land brought forth frogges, yea euen in their kynges chambers. ³¹ He spake the worde, and their came all maner of flyes and lyce in al their quarter ³² He gaue them hayle stones for rayne, and flammes of fyre in their land. ³³ He smot their vineyeardes & figge trees, & destroyed the trees that were in their coastes. ³⁴ He spake the worde, and ther were greshoppers and catyrpyllers innumerable. ³⁵ These eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured their frutes of the grounde. ³⁶ He smote al the fyrst borne in the lande, euen the chefe of al their substaunce. ³⁷ He broughte them forth wyth syluer and gold, ther was not one feble person amonge theyr trybes. ³⁸ Egypte was glad of their departinge, for they were afrayed of them. ³⁹ He spred out a cloude to be a couerynge, and fyres to geue lyght in the nyght season. ⁴⁰ At their desyre, ther came quailes, and he fylled them wyth the breade of heauen. ⁴¹ He opened the rocke of stone, and the waters flowed out: so that ryuers ranne in the wyldernesse. ⁴² For why? he remembred his holy promes whyche he had made vnto Abraham his seruaunte. ⁴³ Thus he broughte forth hys people wyth ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse. ⁴⁴ And gaue them the landes of Heathen, where they toke the laboures of the people in possessyon. ⁴⁵ That they myghte kepe hys statutes, and obserue his lawes. Prayse the euerlastynge. ¹⁰⁶ ¹ Prayse the euerlastynge. O geue thankes vnto the Lorde, for he is gracyous, and hys mercy endureth for euer. ² Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lord, or shewe forth al hys prayse? ³ Blessed are they that allwaye kepe iudgement, and do ryghtuousnes. ⁴ Remember vs, O Lorde, accordynge to the fauour that thou bearest vnto thy people O vyset vs wyth thy sauynge health. ⁵ That we myght se the pleasure of thy chosen, that we myght reioyse in the gladnesse of thy people, and geue thanckes with thine enherytaunce. ⁶ We haue synned wyth oure fathers, we haue done amysse, we haue dealt wyckedlye. ⁷ Oure fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypte, they kepte not thy great goodnes in remembraunce: but were dysobedyent at the sea, euen at the reed sea. ⁸ Neuertheles, he helped them for hys names sake, that he myghte make hys power to be knowne. ⁹ He rebuked the read sea, and it was dryed vp: so he led them thorowe the depe as in a wyldernes. ¹⁰ Thus he saued them from the hand of the hater, and delyuered them from the hande of the enemye. ¹¹ As for those that troubled them the waters ouerwhelmed them, ther was not one of them left. ¹² Then beleued they in his worde, and sang prayse vnto hym. ¹³ But within a whyle they forgat his workes, and wold not abyde his councel. ¹⁴ A lust came vpon them in the wildernesse, so that they tempted God in the deserte. ¹⁵ Yet he gaue them their desire, and sent them ynough at their wylles. ¹⁶ They angred Moyses in the tentes, & Aaron the saynct of the Lord. ¹⁷ So the earth opened & swalowed vp Dathan, & couered the congregatyon of Abyram. ¹⁸ The fyre was kyndled in their companie, the flamme brent vp the vngodly. ¹⁹ They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten ymage. ²⁰ Thus they turned their glorye into the similitude of a calfe, that eateth hay. ²¹ They forgat God their Sauiour, whyche had done so greate thynges in Egypte. ²² Wonderous workes in the land of Ham and fearful thynges in the read sea. ²³ So he sayde he wuld haue destroyed them had not Moses hys chosen stand before him in that gappe: to turne awaye his wrathfull indignatyon, lest he should destroy them. ²⁴ Yea, they thought scorne of that pleasaunt lande, and gaue no credence vnto hys worde ²⁵ But murmured in their tentes, and herkened not vnto the voyce of the Lord. ²⁶ Then lyft he vp his hand against them to ouerthrowe them in the wildernes. ²⁷ To cast out their sede among the nacions. and to scatter them in the landes. ²⁸ They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor and eate the offeringes of the dead. ²⁹ Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their owne inuencyons, and the plage was great among them. ³⁰ Then stode vp Phynehes and executed iustice, and so the plage ceased. ³¹ And that was counted vnto him for ryghtuousnesse, amonge all posterityes for euermore. ³² They angeryd hym also at the waters of strife, so that Moyses was punished for ther sakes. ³³ Because they prouoked his spirite, and he told them plainly with his lippes. ³⁴ Nether destroied they the Heathen, as the Lorde commaunded them. ³⁵ But were mingled among the Heathen, and lerned their workes. ³⁶ In so much that they worshipped their images, which turned to their owne decay. ³⁷ Yea they offred their sons and their daughters vnto deuels. ³⁸ And shed the innocent bloud of their sonnes and of their daughters, whom they offered vnto the ymages of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with bloud. ³⁹ Thus were they stayned with their owne workes, and went a whoring with their owne inuencyons. ⁴⁰ Therfore was the wrath of the Lord kindled agaynst hys people, in so much that he abhorred his owne enheritaunce. ⁴¹ And gaue them ouer into the hand 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 prouoked him wyth theyr owne inuencyons and were broughte downe for theyr wyckednesse. ⁴⁴ Neuertheles when he saw their aduersitie he herd their complaynt. ⁴⁵ He thought vpon hys couenaunt, and pytyed them, accordyng vnto the multytude of hys mercyes. ⁴⁶ Yea he made all those that had led them awaye captyue, to pitiye them. ⁴⁷ Delyuer vs, O Lorde oure God, and gather vs from amonge the Heathen: that we maye geue thanckes to thy holye name, and make our boast of thy prayse. ⁴⁸ Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel from euerlastyng and world without ende, and let all people saye: Amen, Amen. Prayse the euerlastynge. ¹⁰⁷ ¹ O geue thankes vnto the Lord, for he is gracious, & his mercy endureth for euer. ² Let them geue thankes whome the Lord hath redemed, & deliuered from the hande of the enemye. ³ And gathered them out of the landes, from the East, from the West, from the North and from the South. ⁴ They went astraye in the wildernesse in an vntroden waye, and founde no cytye too dwell in. ⁵ Hungry & thirsty, and their soule faynted in them. ⁶ So they cryed vnto the Lorde in theyr trouble, and he deliuered them from theyr distresse. ⁷ He ledde them forth by the ryghte waye, that they myghte go to the cytye where they dwelt. ⁸ O that men wolde praise the goodnesse of the Lorde, and the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men. ⁹ For he satisfied the empty soule, & fylled the hungry soule with good. ¹⁰ Such as sat in darkenesse and in the shadow of death, beyng fast bounde in mysery and yron. ¹¹ Because they were not obedient to the commaundementes of God, but lightely regarded the counsayll of the moost hyghest. ¹² Their hert was vexed with labour, they fel doune, and there was none to helpe them. ¹³ So they cryed vnto the LORD in their trouble, and he deliuered them oute of theyr dystresse. ¹⁴ He brought them out of darkenesse & oute of the shadow of death, & brake their bondes in sonder. ¹⁵ O that men wolde prayse the goodnesse of the Lord, and the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men. ¹⁶ For he hath broken the gates of brasse, and smytten the barres of yron in sonder. ¹⁷ Folysh men were plaged for their offence and because of their wickednesse. ¹⁸ Their soule abhorred all maner of meate, they were euen harde at deaths dore. ¹⁹ So they cryed vnto the Lorde in their trouble, and he deliuered them oute of theyr distresse. ²⁰ He sent hys worde and healed them, and saued them from destruccion. ²¹ O that men woulde prayse the goodnesse of the Lord, and the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men. ²² That they wolde offre vnto him the sacrifice of thankesgeuyng, & tell out hys workes with gladnes. ²³ They that go doune to the sea in shippes, and occupy their businesse in great waters. ²⁴ These men se the workes of the Lorde, & his wonders in the deape. ²⁵ For at his worde, the stormy winde aryseth, and lifteth vp the waues therof. ²⁶ They are caryed vp to the heauen, & doun agayne too the deape, their soule melteth awaye in the trouble. ²⁷ They rele to and fro, they stacker lyke a droncken man, and are at their wittes ende. ²⁸ So they crye vnto the Lorde in their trouble, and he delyuereth them oute of their distresse. ²⁹ He maketh the storme to ceasse, so that the waues are styll. ³⁰ Then are they glad because they be at rest & so he bringeth them vnto the hauen, where they wolde be. ³¹ O that men wolde prayse the goodnes of the Lorde, and the wondres that he doth for the chyldren of men. ³² That they wolde exalte him in the congregacion of the people, & loane hym in the seate of the elders. ³³ Which turneth the floudes into drye land, and drieth vp the water sprynges. ³⁴ A frutefull lande maketh he baren, for the wickednesse of them that dwell therin. ³⁵ Agayn, he maketh the wildernes a standinge water, and water springes of a drye grounde. ³⁶ There he setteth the hongrye, that they maye buylde them a cytye to dwell in. ³⁷ That they may sow their grounde, plante vyneyardes, to yelde them frutes of increase. ³⁸ He blesseth them, so that they multiplye excedingly, and suffreth not their cattel to decrease. ³⁹ When they are minished & brought lowe thorowe oppression, thorowe any plage or trouble. ⁴⁰ Though he suffre them to be euell intreated thorow tyrauntes, or lette them wandre out of the waye in the wildernesse. ⁴¹ Yet helpeth he the poore out of misery (at the last) and maket hym an housholde lyke a flocke of shepe. ⁴² The righteous will considre this & reioyse, the mouth of all wyckednesse shalbe stopped. ⁴³ Who so is wyse, & pondreth these thynges well, shal vnderstande the louyng kyndnesses of the Lorde. ¹⁰⁸ ¹ A songe of Psalme of Dauid. O God, my herte is ready to synge, and to geue prayse. Awake, O my glorye, ² awake lute and harpe, I my selfe wyll awake ryght early. ³ I wyll geue thanckes vnto the, O Lord, amonge the people. I wil syng prayses vnto the among the Heathen. ⁴ For the greatenesse of thy mercy is higher then the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse reacheth vnto the cloudes. ⁵ Set vp thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens, and thy glory aboue al the eartth. ⁶ That thy beloued may be delyuered: helpe them with thy right hand and heare me ⁷ God hath spoken in his Sanctuary, whych thyng reioyseth me. I wyll deuyde Sichem, and meate out the valley of Suchoth. ⁸ Galaad is myne, Manasses is myne, Ephraym is the strength of my head, Iuda is my captaine. ⁹ Moab is my washpotte, ouer Edom will I stretch oute my shue, Phylystea shall be glad of me. ¹⁰ Who wyll lead me into the stronge cyty? Who wyll brynge me into Edom? ¹¹ Shalt not thou do it (O God) which hast cast vs: out thou God, that wentest not forth with our Hostes? ¹² O be thou our helpe in trouble, for vayne is the helpe of man. ¹³ Thorow God we shal do great actes, for it is he that shal treade downe our enemyes. ¹⁰⁹ ¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauyd. Holde not thy tong: O God of my praise. ² For the mouth of the vngodlye yea and the mouth of the disceatfull is opened vpon me, and speake agaynste me wyth false tonges. ³ They compase me aboute with wordes of hatred, and fight against me without a cause ⁴ For the loue that I had vnto them, they take now my contrary parte, but I geue my selfe vnto prayer. ⁵ Thus they reward me euel for good, and hatred for my god wyll. ⁶ Set an vngodly man to be ruler ouer him and let Satan stande at his ryghte hande. ⁷ When sentence is geuen vpon him, let him be condempned, and let his prayer be turned into synne. ⁸ Let his daies be few, and his bishopricke let another take. ⁹ Let hys chyldren be fatherlesse, and hys wyfe a wydowe. ¹⁰ Let his children be vagabaundes, and bege their breade: lette them seke it, as they that be destroyed. ¹¹ Let the extorcioner consume al that he hath and let straungers spoyle his laboure. ¹² Let ther be no man to pytye, ner to haue compassyon vpon his fatherles chyldren. ¹³ Let hys ende be destruccyon, & in the next generacion let his name be cleane put oute. ¹⁴ Let the wickednesse of his fathers be had in remembraunce in the syght of the Lorde & and let not the synne of hys mother be done awaye. ¹⁵ Let them alway be before the Lorde, but as for the memoryall of them selues, let it perysh from out of the earth. ¹⁶ And that because hys mynde was not to do good. but persecuted the poore helplesse, and hym that was vexed at the harte, to slay hym. ¹⁷ Hys delyte was in cursynge, and therfore shall it happen vnto hym: he loued not blessynge and that shall be far from hym. ¹⁸ He clothed hym selfe wyth cursynge lyke as wyth a rayment: yea it wente into hys bowels lyke water, and lyke oile into his bone ¹⁹ Let it be vnto hym as the cloke that he hath vpon hym, and as the gyrdle that he is gyrded with al. ²⁰ Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto myne enemyes, and to those that speake euel agaynst my soule. ²¹ But deale thou wyth me, O Lorde God, accordynge vnto thy name, for swete is thy mercy. O deliuer me, ²² for I am helplesse, and pore and my herte is wounded within me. ²³ I go hence lyke the shadowe that departeth, & am driuen away as the greshoppers. ²⁴ My knees are weake thorow fastynge my flesh is dryed vp for want of fatnesse. ²⁵ I am become a rebuke vnto them, they loke vpon me and shake their heades. ²⁶ Helpe me, O Lorde my God, oh saue me for thy mercies sake. ²⁷ That they maye knowe, how that thys is thy hand, and that thou hast done it. ²⁸ Though they curse, yet blesse thou: and let them be confounded, that ryse vp agaynst me, but let thy seruaunt reioyse. ²⁹ Let myne aduersaryes be clothed wyth their owne shame, as with a cloke. ³⁰ As for me, I wyl geue thanckes vnto the Lord wyth my mouth, and praise hym among the multitude. ³¹ For he standeth at the ryght hand of the pore, to saue hym from suche as condempne hys soule. ¹¹⁰ ¹ A Psalme of Dauyd.
