Psalms 115 Cross References - Coverdale

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.

¹ In ye begynnynge God created heauen & earth:

²⁸ And God blessed them, and sayde vnto them: Growe, and multiplie, and fyll the earth, and subdue it, & haue domynion ouer the fish of the see, and ouer the foules of the ayre, and ouer all the beastes that crepe vpo the earth. ²⁹ And God sayde: lo, I haue geuen you all maner herbes that beare sede vpon the whole earth, and all maner frutefull trees that beare sede, to be meate for you. ³⁰ And to all beastes of the earth, and to all foules vnder the heauen, and to euery worme that hath life (vpon earth) all maner grene herbes to eate. And so it came to passe.

¹⁷ But of ye tre of knowlege of good and euell, shalt thou not eate. For loke in what daye so euer thou eatest therof, thou shalt dye the death. ¹⁸ And the LORDE God sayde: It is not good yt ma shulde be alone. I wil make him an helpe, to beare him copany.

¹ Then God remembred Noe and all the beastes, and all the catell that were with him in the Arcke, and caused a wynde to come vpon the earth: and ye waters ceassed,

¹ And God blessed Noe and his sonnes, and sayde vnto them: increace & multiplye, and fyll the earth. ² The feare also and drede of you be vpon all beastes of the earth, vpon all foules vnder the heauen, and vpon all that crepeth on the earth, and all fyshes of the see be geuen in to youre hades. ³ All that moueth and hath life, be youre meate. Euen as the grene herbe, so haue I geue you all.

² And I wil make of the a mightie people, and wyll blesse the, and make the a greate name, yee thou shalt be a very blessynge. ³ I wil blesse them that blesse the, and curse them that curse the: and in the shal all the generacions of the earth be blessed.

¹⁶ and wyll make thy sede as the dust of the earth: so that yf a man can nombre the dust of the earth, he shall nombre thy sede also.

¹⁹ blessed him and sayde: Blessed be thou Abram vnto the most hye God possessor of heauen and earth.

⁷ Morouer I wil make my couenaut betwene me and the, and thy sede after the thorow out their posterities, that it maye be an euerlastinge couenaunt, so that I wyll be the God of the, and of thy sede after the.

²⁶ And he sayde: Let me go, for ye daye breaketh on. But he answered: I will not let ye go, excepte thou blesse me. ²⁷ He sayde: What is thy name? He answered: Iacob. ²⁸ He sayde: Thou shalt nomore be called Iacob, but Israel, for thou hast stryuen with God and with men, and hast preuayled. ²⁹ And Iacob axed him, & sayde: Tell me, what is yi name? But he sayde: Why axest thou what my name is? And he blessed him there.

²⁴ And their crye ouer their labor, came before God. And God herde their coplaynte, & remebred his couenaunt with Abraham Isaac and Iacob. ²⁵ And God loked vpon the childre of Israel, and God knew it.

⁵ Yf ye wyll harken now vnto my voyce, and kepe my couenaunt, ye shalbe myne owne before all people: for the whole earth is myne:

¹ And thou shalt take vnto the Aaron thy brother and his sonnes fro amonge the childre of Israel, that he maye be my prest: namely Aaron & his sonnes Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar:

¹² Wherfore shulde the Egipcians speake, & saye: He hath brought the for their myschefe, to slaye them in the mountaynes, and to destroye the vtterly from the earth? O turne the from the fearcenesse of yi wrath, & be gracious ouer the wickednesse of thy people.

¹⁵ Yf thou shuldest now slaye this people as one man, then the Heythen that haue herde so good reporte of the, shulde saye: ¹⁶ The LORDE was not able to brynge the people in to the londe, that he sware vnto them, therfore hath he slayne them in the wyldernes.

⁵ & saide vnto Corah, & to all his company: Tomorow shal ye LORDE shewe who is his, & who is holy to come vnto him. Who so euer he choseth, ye same shal come vnto him.

⁴⁰ for a remebraunce vnto ye children of Israel yt no straunger (and he that is not of ye sede of Aaron) come nye to offre incense before the LORDE, yt it happe not vnto him as vnto Corah and his companye, acordynge as the LORDE sayde vnto him by Moses.

⁷ As for ye, and yi sonnes with the, ye shal waite vpon youre prestes office, that ye maye ministre in all maner busynes of the altare, and within the vayle: for yor prestes office geue I vnto you for a gifte to do seruyce. Yf a straunger come nye, he shall dye.

⁸ Whan the most Hyghest deuyded ye nacions and scatred the children of men. Then set he the borders of the nacions acordinge to the nombre of the children of Israel.

²⁶ I wyll saye: Where are they? I shall make their remembraunce to ceasse from amonge men. ²⁷ Yf the wrath of the enemies were not gathered, lest their enemies shulde be proude, & might saie: Oure hande is hye, and: The LORDE hath not done all this.

²⁹ Happye art thou Israel, who is lyke vnto the? O thou people yt art saued by the LORDE, which is thy helpe, shylde, and the swerde of thy glorye. Thyne enemies shal pyne awaye, and thou shalt treade vpon the height of them.

⁹ Wha the Cananites heare of this, they shal compasse vs rounde aboute, yee and rote out oure names from of the earth. What wylt thou do then vnto thy greate name?

⁹ He shall preserue the fete of his sayntes, but ye vngodly shal be put to sylece in darcnesse. For there is no ma that can do oughte of his owne power.

³ Ioab sayde vnto the kynge: The LORDE thy God adde vnto this people an hundreth tymes as moch as it is now, that my lorde the kynge maye se his eyes lust theron. But why hath my lorde the kynge a desyre to this thinge?

¹⁰ Then turned he back, & sent messaungers to Ezechias, & caused to saye vnto him: Let not thy God disceaue the, on whom thou trustest & sayest: Ierusalem shal not be geue in to the hade of the kynge of Assiria. ¹¹ Beholde, thou hast herde what the kynges of Assiria haue done vnto all londes, & how they daned them, & shalt thou be delyuered? ¹² Haue ye goddes of ye Heithen delyuered the, whom my father destroyed, as Gosan, Haran, Reseph, & the childre of Eden which were at Thalassar? ¹³ Where is ye kynge of Hemath, ye kynge of Arphad, & ye kinge of ye cite Sepharnaim, Hena & Iua? ¹⁴ And whan Ezechias had receaued the letters of the messaungers and had red them, he wente vp vnto the house of the LORDE, and layed them abrode before the LORDE, ¹⁵ & made his prayer before the LORDE, and sayde: O LORDE God of Israel, thou that syttest vpo the Cherubins, thou onely art God amonge all ye kyngdomes of the earth, thou hast made heauen and earth. ¹⁶ Enclyne thine eare O LORDE, and heare: open thine eyes, and beholde, and heare the wordes of Sennacherib, which hath sent hither to blaspheme the lyuynge God. ¹⁷ It is true (O LORDE) that the kynges of Assiria haue destroyed the Heythen and their londe with the swerde, ¹⁸ and haue cast their goddes in the fyre: for they were not Goddes, but ye worke of mes hondes, wodd and stone, therfore haue they destroyed them.

¹⁸ and haue cast their goddes in the fyre: for they were not Goddes, but ye worke of mes hondes, wodd and stone, therfore haue they destroyed them. ¹⁹ But now O LORDE helpe thou vs out of his hande, that all the kyngdomes vpon earth maye knowe, that thou LORDE art God alone.

²⁵ For the LORDE is greate, and can not worthely be praysed, and more to he had in awe then all goddes.

⁴ Neuerthelesse, he that dwelleth in heauen, shall laugh the to scorne: yee euen the LORDE himselff shall haue them in derision.

⁸ Helpe belongeth vnto the LORDE, therfore let thy blessynge be vpon thy people.

⁵ For in death no man remebreth the: Oh who wil geue the thankes in the hell?

⁶ Thou hast set him aboue the workes off thy hondes: thou hast put all thinges in subieccion vnder his fete.

²³ O prayse the LORDE ye that feare him: Magnifie him all ye sede of Iacob, & let all ye sede of Israel feare hi.

⁷ Oh remebre not ye synnes & offences of my youth, but acordinge vnto thy mercy thynke vpon me (O LORDE) for thy goodnesse.

¹¹ The LORDE shall geue power vnto his people, the LORDE shal geue his people the blessynge of peace.

⁹ What profit is there in my bloude, yf I go downe to corrupcion?

¹⁷ My tyme is in thy honde: delyuer me from the honde of myne enemies, & from them yt persecute me.

¹⁸ Beholde, the eye of the LORDE loketh vnto them that feare him, & put their trust in his mercy.

²⁰ Let oure soule paciently abyde the LORDE, for he is oure helpe and shilde. ²¹ So shal oure herte reioyse in him, because we haue hoped in his holy name.

³ Put thou thy trust in ye LORDE, & be doinge good: so shalt thou dwell in the londe, & verely it shal fede the.

³ Now when I thinke there vpo, I poure out my hert by my self: for I wolde fayne go hence with the multitude, & passe ouer with them vnto the house of God, in ye voyce of prayse & thankesgeuynge, amonge soch as kepe holy daye.

¹⁰ daylie sayenge vnto me: where is now thy God?

⁷ That he maye dwell before God for euer: Oh let thy louynge mercy & faithfulnes preserue him.

⁸ Oput yor trust in him allwaye (ye people) poure out yor hertes before him, for God is oure hope.

⁷ God blesse vs, and let all the endes of ye worlde feare him.

⁴ Oh synge vnto God, synge prayses vnto his name: magnifie him yt rydeth aboue the heaues (whose name is ye LORDE) & reioyse before hi.

²² O let not the symple go awaye ashamed, for the poore & nedy geue prayses vnto thy name.

⁹ Helpe vs (O God or Sauyor) for ye glory of yi name: o delyuer vs, & forgeue vs or synnes for yi names sake. ¹⁰ Wherfore shall ye Heithe saye: where is now their God?

¹⁰ Wherfore shall ye Heithe saye: where is now their God?

¹¹ I had rather be a dore keper in the house of my God, then to dwell in the tentes of the vngodly.

¹⁰ Doest thou shewe wonders amonge the deed? Can the physicias rayse them vp agayne, that they maye prayse the? ¹¹ Maye thy louynge kyndnes be shewed in the graue, or thy faithfulnesse in destruccion? ¹² Maye thy wonderous workes be knowne in the darcke, or thy righteousnes in the londe where all thinges are forgotte?

¹ My songe shal be allwaye of the louynge kyndnesse of the LORDE, wt my mouth wil I euer be shewinge thy faithfulnesse fro one generacion to another. ² For I haue sayde: mercy shal be set vp for euer, thy faithfulnesse shalt thou stablish in the heauens.

¹¹ Thou breakest the proude, like one that is wounded, thou scatrest thine enemies abrode with thy mightie arme.

⁵ As for all ye goddes of the Heithe, they be but Idols, but it is the LORDE that made the heaues.

⁸ Ascrybe vnto the LORDE the honoure of his name, brynge presentes, and come in to his courte.

⁷ Cofounded be all they that worshipe ymages, and delite in their Idols: worshipe him all ye goddes.

¹¹ For loke how hye the heaue is in comparison of the earth, so greate is his mercy also towarde them that feare him.

¹⁹ The LORDE hath prepared his seate in heaue, and his kyngdome ruleth ouer all.

¹ Blessed is the man yt feareth the LORDE, & hath greate delite in his commaundementes.

² Blessed be the name of the LORDE, fro this tyme forth for euermore.

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.

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.

⁴ Yee let the now that feare the LORDE, confesse, that his mercy endureth for euer.

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.

² My helpe cometh euen from the LORDE, which hath made heauen and earth.

¹ Unto the lift I vp myne eyes, thou yt dwellest in the heauens.

⁸ Oure helpe stodeth in the name of the LORDE, which hath made heauen and earth.

¹ They that put their trust in ye LORDE, are eue as the mount Sion, which maye not be remoued, but stodeth fast for euer.

¹ Blessed are all they that feare the LORDE, & walke in his wayes.

⁴ Thy children like the olyue braunches roude aboute yi table. ⁵ Lo, thus shal ye ma be blessed, yt feareth the LORDE.

⁷ Let Israel trust in the LORDE, for with the LORDE there is mercy and plenteous redempcion.

³ The LORDE yt made heauen & earth, blesse the out of Sion.

⁶ What so euer ye LORDE pleaseth, yt doth he in heaue & in earth, in the see & in all depe places.

¹⁵ As for the ymages of the Heithe, they are but syluer and golde, the worke of mens hades. ¹⁶ They haue mouthes, & speake not: eyes haue they, but they se not. ¹⁷ They haue eares, and yet they heare not, nether is there eny breth i their mouthes. ¹⁸ They that make them, are like vnto them, & so are all they that put their trust in the.

¹⁸ They that make them, are like vnto them, & so are all they that put their trust in the. ¹⁹ Prayse the LORDE ye house of Israel, prayse the LORDE ye house of Aaron. ²⁰ Prayse the LORDE ye house of Leui, ye that feare ye LORDE, prayse the LORDE.

²³ Which remebreth vs, whe we are in trouble, for his mercy endureth for euer.

⁵ Bowe thy heaues (o LORDE) & come downe, touch the mountaynes, yt they maye smoke withall.

² Euery daye wil I geue thankes vnto the, and prayse yi name for euer and euer.

²¹ My mouth shal speake the prayse of the LORDE, And let all flesh geue thankes vnto his holy name for euer and euer. Halleluya.

⁵ Which made heauen and earth, ye see and all that therin is, which kepeth his promise for euer ⁶ Which helpeth them to right yt suffre wronge, which fedeth ye hongrie.

¹¹ But the LORDES delyte is in them that feare him, and put their trust in his mercy.

⁴ Prayse him all ye heauens, & ye waters yt be vnder the heauens.

²⁶ The feare of the LORDE is a stroge holde, for vnto his he wyl be a sure defence.

⁵ All the wordes of God are pure & cleane, for he is a shylde vnto all them, that put their trust in him.

² It will be also in processe of tyme: That the hill where the the house of the LORDE is buylded, shal be ye chefe amoge hilles, and exalted aboue al litle hilles. And al heithe shal prease vnto him and the multitude of people shall go vnto him, ³ speakinge thus one to another: vp, let us go to the hill of the LORDE, and to the house of ye God of Iacob: yt he maye shewe us his waye, and yt we maye walke in his pathes. For ye lawe shal come out of Syon, and the worde of God from Ierusalem,

²⁰ This shalbe a token or testimony vnto the LORDE of hoostes in the londe of Egipte, when they shal crie vnto him, because of those that oppresse them: that he shal sende them a captayne and a Sauioure to delyuer them. ²¹ Morouer, Egipte shalbe bought vnto the LORDE, and the Egiptians also shal knowe the LORDE at the same tyme: they shal do him reuerence with peace offringes, and with meatoffringes: they shal promyse him offringes, yee & paye him also.

⁶ It wil come to this poynte, yt Iacob shalbe rooted againe, and Israel shalbe grene & beare floures, & they shal fyll ye whole worlde wt their frute.

¹⁹ & cast their goddes in the fyre. Notwithstodinge those were no goddes but the workes of mens hondes, of wodd or stone, therfore haue they destroyed them.

¹⁸ For hell prayseth not the, death doth not magnifie the. They that go downe into the graue, prayse not thy treuth: ¹⁹ but the lyuynge, yee the lyuynge acknowlege the, like as I do this daye. The father telleth his children of thy faithfulnesse.

¹⁹ Shal the caruer make him a carued ymage? and shal the goldsmyth couer him with golde, or cast him in to a fourme of syluer plates? ²⁰ Morouer shal the ymage maker (yt the poore man which is disposed, maye haue somthinge to set vp also) seke out and chose a tre, that is not rotten, and carue ther out an ymage, yt moueth not?

¹⁷ And therfore let them conuerte, and be ashamed earnestly, that hope in Idols, & saye to fashioned ymages: ye are oure godes.

⁹ Wherfore all caruers of Idols are but vayne, and their laboure lost. They must beare recorde them selues, that (seinge they can nether se ner vnderstonde) they shalbe confounded. ¹⁰ Who shulde now make a god, or fashio an Idol, that is profitable for nothinge?

¹⁰ Who shulde now make a god, or fashio an Idol, that is profitable for nothinge? ¹¹ Beholde all the felashippe of the must be brought to confucion. Let all the workmasters of them come and stonde together from amonge men: they must be abashed and confouded one with another. ¹² The smyth taketh yron, and tempreth it with hote coles, and fashioneth it with hammers, & maketh it wt all the strength of his armes: Yee somtyme he is faynt for very hunger, and so thurstie, that he hath no more power. ¹³ The carpenter (or ymage caruer) taketh me the tymbre, and spredeth forth his lyne: he marketh it with some coloure: he playneth it, he ruleth it, ad squareth it, and maketh it after the ymage of a man, and acordinge to the bewtie of a man: that it maye stonde in the temple. ¹⁴ Morouer, he goeth out to hewe downe Cedre trees: He bringeth home Elmes and okes, and other tymbre of the wodd. Or els the Fyrre trees which he planted himself, ad soch as the rayne hath swelled, ¹⁵ which wodde serueth for me to burne. Of this he taketh and warmeth himself withall: he maketh a fyre of it to bake bred. And after warde maketh a god there of, to honoure it: and an Idol, to knele before it. ¹⁶ One pece he burneth in the fyre, with another he rosteth flesh, that he maye eate roste his bely full: with the thirde he warmeth himself, and saieth: Aha: I am well warmed, I haue bene at the fyre. ¹⁷ And of the residue, he maketh him a god, and an Idol for himself. He kneleth before it, he worshippeth it, he prayeth vnto it, and sayeth: delyuer me, for thou art my god. ¹⁸ Yet men nether considre ner vnderstonde, because their eyes are stopped, that they can not se: and their hertes, that they cannot perceaue. ¹⁹ They pondre not in their myndes (for they haue nether knowlege ner vnderstodinge) to thinke thus: I haue bret one pece in the fyre, I haue baked bred wt ye coles there of, I haue rosted flesh withall, & eaten it: Shal I now of the residue make an abhominacion, and fall downe before a rotten pece of wodd? ²⁰ The kepinge of dust, and folishnesse of herte hath turned them a syde: so that none of them can haue a fre conscience to thinke: maye not I erre?

²⁰ The kepinge of dust, and folishnesse of herte hath turned them a syde: so that none of them can haue a fre conscience to thinke: maye not I erre? ²¹ Cosidre this (o Iacob and Israel) for thou art my seruaut. I haue made the, that thou mightest serue me. O Israel, forget me not.

¹ Neuertheles Bel shal fall, & Nabo shalbe broken: whose ymages are a burthe for the beastes and catell, to ouerlade the, and to make them weery. ² They shal syncke downe, and fall together: for they maye not ease them of their burthen, therfore must they go in to captiuyte.

⁶ Ye fooles (no doute) wil take out syluer and golde out of youre purses, and weye it, and hyre a goldsmyth to make a god of it, that men maye knele downe and worshipe it. ⁷ Yet must he be taken on mens shulders and borne, and set in his place, that he maye stonde and not moue. Alas that men shulde crie vnto him, which geueth no answere: and delyuereth not the man that calleth vpon him, from his trouble.

¹⁰ In the begynnynge of a thinge, I shewe the ende therof: and I tel before, thinges that are not yet come to passe. With one worde is my deuyce accomplished, & fulfilleth all my pleasure.

¹¹ And that only for myne owne sake, for I geue myne Honoure to none other, that thou shuldest not despise me.

¹⁴ Then shal Sion saye: God hath forsaken me, and the LORDE hath forgotte me. ¹⁵ Doth a wife forget the childe of hir wombe, ad the sonne who she hath borne? And though she do forget, yet wil not I forget the. ¹⁶ Beholde, I haue written the vp vpon my hondes, thy walles are euer in my sight.

⁸ Thus saieth the LORDE God which gathereth together the scatred of Israel: I wil bringe yet another cogregacion to him.

⁴ Lift vp thine eyes, & loke rounde aboute the: All these gather the selues, & come to the. Sonnes shal come vnto ye from farre, & doughters shal gather the selues to the on euery side. ⁵ When thou seist this, thou shalt maruel exceadingly, and thine hert shalbe opened: when the power of the see shalbe couerted vnto the (that is) whe the strength of the Gentiles shal come vnto the. ⁶ The multitude of Camels shal couer ye, the Dromedaries of Madia and Epha. All they of Saba shal come, bringinge golde & incense, & shewinge the prayse of the LORDE. ⁷ All the catel of Cedar shalbe gathered vnto ye, the rames of Nabaioth shal serue the, to be offred vpo myne aulter, which I haue chosen, & in the house of my glory which I haue garnished. ⁸ But what are these that fle here like the cloudes, and as the doues flienge to their wyndowes? ⁹ The Iles also shal gather the vnto me, and specially the shippes of ye see: that they maye bringe the sonnes from farre, and their syluer and their golde with them, vnto the name of the LORDE thy God, vnto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorified the. ¹⁰ Straugers shal buylde vp thy walles, and their kiges shal do the seruyce. For when I am angrie, I smyte the: and when it pleaseth me, I pardon the. ¹¹ Thy gates shal stonde open still both daye and night, and neuer be shut: that the hooste of the Gentiles maye come, and that their kinges maye be brought vnto the. ¹² For euery people & kingdome that serueth not the, shal perish, and be distroyed wt the swerde. ¹³ The glory of libanus shal come vnto the: The Fyrre trees, Boxes & Cedres together, to garnish the place of my Sanctuary, for I wil glorifie the place of my fete. ¹⁴ Morouer those shal come knelinge vnto the, yt haue vexed the: & all they that despised ye, shal fall downe at yi fote. Thou shalt be called the cite of the LORDE, the holy Sion of Israel. ¹⁵ Because thou hast bene forsake and hated, so that noman went thorow the: I wil make the glorious for euer and euer, ad ioyful thorow out all posterities. ¹⁶ Thou shalt sucke the mylck of the Gentiles, and kinges brestes shal fede the. And thou shalt knowe that I the LORDE am thy Sauioure and defender, the mighty one of Iacob. ¹⁷ For brasse wil I geue the golde, and for yron syluer, for wod brasse, and for stones yron. I wil make peace thy ruler, and rightuousnes thyne officer. ¹⁸ Violence and robbery shal neuer be herde of in thy londe, nether harme and destruction with in thy borders. Thy walles shalbe called health, & thy gates the prayse of God ¹⁹ The Sonne shal neuer by thy daye light, ad the light of the Moone shal neuer shyne vnto the: but ye LORDE himself shalbe thy euerlastinge light, & thy God shalbe thy glory. ²⁰ The Sonne shal neuer go downe, & thy Moone shal not be taken awaye, for the LORDE himself shalbe thy euerlastinge light, ad thy sorouful dayes shal be rewarded ye. ²¹ Thy people shalbe all godly, & possesse the londe for euer: the floure of my plantinge, the worke of my hondes, wherof I wil reioyce. ²² The yongest & leest shal growe in to a thousande, & the symplest in to a stronge people. I the LORDE shal shortly bringe this thinge to passe in his tyme.

¹ Thus saieth the LORDE: Heaue is my seate, and the earth is my fote stole. Where shal now the house stonde, yt ye will buylde vnto me? And where shal be the place, yt I wil dwel in?

³ Yee all the customes and lawes of the Getiles are nothinge, but vanite. They hewe downe a tre in the wod with the hondes of the worke man, and fashion it with the axe: ⁴ they couer it ouer with golde or syluer, they fasten it wt nales and hammers, that it moue not. ⁵ It stodeth as stiff as the palme tre, it can nether speake ner go, but must be borne. Be not ye afrayed of soch, for they ca do nether good ner euel.

⁵ It stodeth as stiff as the palme tre, it can nether speake ner go, but must be borne. Be not ye afrayed of soch, for they ca do nether good ner euel.

⁸ They are all together vnlerned and vnwise, All their connynge is but vanite:

¹⁷ Be not now terrible vnto me (o LORDE) for thou art he, in whom I hope, when I am in parell. ¹⁸ Let my persecuters be confounded, but not me: let them be afrayed, and not me. Thou shalt bringe vpon the the tyme off their plage, and shalt destroye them right sore.

⁵ I am he that made the earth, the men & ye catell that are vpon the grounde, with my greate power & outstretched arme, & haue geuen it vnto whom it pleased me. ⁶ And now will I delyuer all these londes in to the power of Nabuchodonosor the kinge of Babilon my seruaunt. The beestes also of the felde shal I geue him to do him seruyce.

¹⁹ And out of them shall go thankesgeuynge, and the voyce of ioye. I will multiplie them, and they shall not mynishe: I shall endue them with honoure, and no man shall subdue them.

³⁸ And they shalbe my people, and I wilbe their God. ³⁹ And I will geue them one herte and one waye, that they maye feare me all the daies of their life, that they and their children after them maye prospere.

²² For like as the starres of heauen maye not be nombred, nether the sonde of the see measured: so will I multiplie the sede of Dauid my seruaunt, and of the Leuites my ministers.

⁶⁶ Persecute them, (O LORDE) with thy indignacion, & rote them out from vnder the heauen.

¹⁴ Yet I wolde not do it, for my names sake: lest it shulde be dishonoured before the Heithe, from the which I had caried them awaye.

²² Therfore tell ye house of Israel: Thus saieth the LORDE God: I do not this for yor sakes (O house of Israel) but for my holy names sake, which ye dishonoured amoge the Heithen, when ye came to them.

³² But I wil not do this for youre sakes (saieth the LORDE God) be ye sure of it. Therfore (o ye house of Israel) be ashamed of youre synnes.

²⁰ Daniel also cryed loude, and sayde: O that the name of God might be praysed for euer and euer, for wi?dome and strength are his owne:

³⁵ in comparyson off whom, all they that dwell vpon the earth, are to be reputed as nothinge. He handleth acordinge to his will, amoge ye powers of heauen & amonge the inhabitours of the earth: and there is none that maye resiste his honde, or saye: what doest thou?

¹⁹ O LORDE, heare: O forgeue LORDE: O LORDE considre, tary not ouer longe: but for thine owne sake do it, O my God: for thy cite and thy people is called after thy name.

¹⁰ And though the nombre of the children of Israel be as the sonde of the see, which can nether be measured ner tolde: Yet in the place where it is sayde vnto them, ye be not my people: euen there shall it be thus reported of them: they be ye childre of the lyuynge God.

⁶ For the calfe came from Israel, the worke man made it, therfore can it be no God, but euen to a spyders webbe shal ye calfe of Samaria be turned.

¹⁷ Let the prestes serue the LORDE betwixte the porch & ye aulter, wepinge & sayenge: be fauourable (o LORDE) be fauourable vnto thy people: let not thine heretage be brought to soch confucion, lest the Heithen be lordes therof. Wherfore shulde they saye amonge the Heithen: where is now their God?

⁸ They that holde of vayne vanyties, wil forsake his mercy.

²⁰ Thou shalt kepe thy trust with Iacob, and thy mercy for Abraham, like as thou hast sworne vnto oure fathers longe agoo.

¹⁸ What helpe than wil ye ymage do, whom the workman hath fashioned? Or the vayne cast ymage, wherin because the craftesman putteth his trust, therfore maketh he domme Idols?

¹⁸ What helpe than wil ye ymage do, whom the workman hath fashioned? Or the vayne cast ymage, wherin because the craftesman putteth his trust, therfore maketh he domme Idols? ¹⁹ Wo vnto him, that saieth to a pece of wod: arise, and to a domme stone: stonde vp. For what instruccio maye soch one geue? Beholde, it is layed ouer with golde and syluer, & there is no breth in it.

¹⁹ Wo vnto him, that saieth to a pece of wod: arise, and to a domme stone: stonde vp. For what instruccio maye soch one geue? Beholde, it is layed ouer with golde and syluer, & there is no breth in it. ²⁰ But the LORDE in his holy teple is he, whom all the worlde shulde feare.

²⁰ Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: There shall yet come people, and the inhabiters of many cities: ²¹ and they that dwell in one cite, shal go to another, sayenge: Vp, let vs go, and praye before the LORDE, let vs seke the LORDE of hoostes, I wil go with you. ²² Yee moch people and mightie Heithen shal come and seke the LORDE of hoostes at Ierusalem, and to praye before the LORDE. ²³ Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: In that tyme shal ten men (out of all maner of languages of the Gentiles) take one Iewe by the hemme of his garment, and saye: we wil go with you, for we haue herde, that God is amonge you.

⁸ I wil blowe for them & gather them together, for I wil redeme them. They shall increace, as they increased afore.

¹⁶ But they that feare God, saye thus one to another: The LORDE cosidreth and heareth it. Yee it is before him a memoriall boke written for soch as feare the LORDE, and remembre his name. ¹⁷ And in the daye that I wil make (saieth ye LORDE of hoostes) they shalbe myne owne possession: and I will fauoure them, like as a man fauoureth his owne sonne, that doth him seruyce.

² But vnto you that feare my name, shall the Sone of rightuousnesse aryse, & health shalbe vnder his winges. Ye shal go forth, & multiplie as ye fat calues.

⁹ After thys maner therfore shall ye praye:O oure father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name.

⁵⁰ And his mercy endureth thorow out all generacions, vpon them that feare him.

¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moses, grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ.

² In my fathers house are many dwellinges. Yf it were not so, I wolde haue tolde you: I go to prepare the place for you.

³⁹ For this promyse was made vnto you and youre children, and to all that are farre of, who so euer the LORDE oure God shal call.

²⁵ Ye are the children of the prophetes and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto or fathers, whan he sayde vnto Abraha: Thorow yi sede shal all ye nacios of ye earth be blessed. ²⁶ First vnto you hath God raysed vp his childe Iesus, & sent hi vnto you, to blesse you yt euery one shulde turne fro his wickednesse.

⁴ He loked vpon him, and was afrayed, and sayde: LORDE, what is it? He sayde vnto him: Thy prayers & thine allmesses are come vp in to remebraunce before God.

³⁵ but in all people he yt feareth him, and worketh righteousnes, is accepted vnto him.

²⁶ Ye men and brethren, ye children of the generacion of Abraham, and they that feare God amonge you, vnto you is ye worde of this saluacion sent.

¹⁵ and sayenge: Ye me, Why do ye this? We are mortall me also like vnto you, & preach vnto you ye Gospell, that ye shulde turne from these vayne thinges vnto ye lyuynge God, which made heaue and earth, and the see, and all that therin is,

²⁶ and ye se and heare, that not onely at Ephesus, but almost also thorow out all Asia, this Paul turneth awaye moch people with his persuadynge, and sayeth: They be not goddes that are made with hondes.

³⁵ Whan the towne clarke had stylled the people, he sayde: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it which knoweth not, that the cite of ye Ephesias is a worshipper of the greate goddesse Diana, and of the heauenly ymage?

²² But thorow the helpe of God lent vnto me, I stonde vnto this daye, and testifye both vnto small and greate, and saye no other thinge, the that ye prophetes haue sayde (that it shulde come to passe) and Moses,

¹⁹ Thou wilt saye then vnto me: Why blameth he vs yet? For who can resiste his will?

⁸ But I saye that Christ Iesus was a mynister of the circumcision for the trueth of God, to cofirme the promyses made vnto the fathers, ⁹ and that the Heythen mighte prayse God because of mercy, as it is wrytten: For this cause wyl I prayse the amoge the Getyles, and synge vnto thy name.

¹⁹ What shal I now saye then? Shal I saye that the Idoll is enythinge? Or that it which is offred vnto the Idoll is eny thinge? ²⁰ Nay. But this I saye, that loke what the Heythen offre, that offre they vnto deuels, and not vnto God. Now wolde I not that ye shulde be in the fellishippe of deuels.

¹⁴ yt the blessynge of Abraham mighte come on the Gentyles in Christ Iesu, and yt we might so receaue ye promysed sprete, thorow faith.

²⁹ Yf ye be Christes, the are ye Abrahas sede and heyres acordynge to the promes.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs wt all maner of spirituall blessynge in heauenly thynges by Christ

³ Blessed be God the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs wt all maner of spirituall blessynge in heauenly thynges by Christ ⁴ acordinge as he had chosen vs by him, or euer the foundacion of the worlde was layed, that we shulde be holy and without blame before him in loue,

⁶ vnto the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherby he hath made vs accepted in the Beloued,

¹¹ euen by him, by whom also we are come to the inheritaunce we that were therto predestinate before, acordinge to ye purpose of him, which worketh all thinges after ye councell of his owne wyll, ¹² that we mighte be to the prayse of his glory, euen we that before beleued on Christ,

¹¹ where there is no Greke, Iewe, circumcision, vncircumcision, Barbarous, Sithian, bode, fre: but Christ is all and in all.

⁹ Recopence not euell for euell, nether rebuke for rebuke: but cotrary wyse, blesse: and knowe that ye are called therto, euen yt ye shulde be heyres of ye blessynge.

¹⁰ ye xxiiij. elders fell downe before him that sat on the trone, and worshipped him yt lyueth for euer, and cast their crounes before ye trone, sayenge: ¹¹ thou art worthy LORDE to receaue glory, and honor, and power, for thou hast created all thinges, and for thy willes sake they are, and were created.

¹³ And all creatures, which are in heaue, & on the earth, & vnder the earth, & in the see, & all yt are in the, herd I sayenge: blessinge, honoure, glory, & power, be vnto him, yt sytteth vpo the seate, and vnto the labe for euermore.

⁴ And I herde the nombre of them which were sealed, and there were sealed an c. and xliiij. M. of all the trybes of the children of Israell.

⁹ After this I behelde, and lo, a gret multitude (which no man coulde nombre) of all nacions and people, and tonges, stode before the seate, and before the lambe, clothed wt longe whyte garmetes, and palmes in their hondes,

¹⁸ And the Heythen were angry, & thy wrath is come, and the tyme of the deed that they shulde be iudged, and that thou shuldest geue rewarde vnto thy seruautes the prophettes and saynctes, and to the that feare thy name, small & greate: and shuldest destroye them which destroye the earth.

⁷ sayege with a lowde voyce: Feare God, and geue honour to him, for the houre of his iudgement is come: and worshippe him that made heauen and earth, and the see, and the fountaynes off water.

⁵ And a voice came out of the seate, sayenge: prayse or LORDE God all ye that are his seruautes, & ye that feare him both small and greate.

¹² And I sawe the deed, both gret and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened, and another boke was opened, which is (the boke) of life, and the deed were iudged of tho thinges which were wrytten in the bokes accordinge to their dedes:
