¹¹ Thus sayeth the LORDE: Beholde, I wyll rayse vp euell of thyne awne house, and wyll take thy wyues before thyne eyes, and wyl geue them vnto thy neghboure, so that he shall lye with thy wyues by Sonnelighte.

³⁵ This daye am I foure score yeare olde. How shulde I knowe what is good or euell, or taist what I eate or drynke, or heare what the Musicians do synge? Why shulde thy seruaunt be chargeable first vnto my lorde the kynge?

¹⁵ But there arose warre agayne of ye Philistynes agaynst Israel. And Dauid wente downe & his seruauntes with him, & foughte agaynst the Philistynes.

Then sware Dauids men vnto him, & sayde: Thou shalt nomore go forth with vs vnto the warre, that the lanterne in Israel be not put out.

¹ And Dauid spake the wordes of this songe before the LORDE, what tyme as the LORDE had delyuered him fro the hande of all his enemies, and from the hande of Saul, ² and he sayde. The LORDE is my stony rock, & my castell, and my delyuerer. ³ God is my strength, in him wyl I put my trust: my shylde & the horne of my saluacion, my defence & my refuge, my Sauioure, thou shalt helpe me from violent wronge. ⁴ I wil call vpon the LORDE with prayse, so shal I be delyuered fro myne enemies. ⁵ For the sorowes of death copased me, and the brokes of Belial made me afrayed. ⁶ The paynes of hell came aboute me, and the snares of death had ouertaken me. ⁷ Wha I was in trouble, I called vpo the LORDE, yee euen my God called I vpon, & so he herde my voyce fro his holy temple, & my coplaynte (came) into his eares. ⁸ The earth trembled and quaked, the foundacions of the heauen shoke and moued, because he was wroth. ⁹ Smoke wente vp from his nose, and consumynge fyre out of his mouth, coles were kyndled therof. ¹⁰ He bowed the heauens and came downe, and it was darke vnder his fete. ¹¹ He sat vpon Cherub and dyd flye, and appeared vpon the fethers of the wynde. ¹² He made darknes his pauylion rounde aboute him, thicke water in the cloudes of ye ayre. ¹³ At the brightnesse of him were the fyre coles kyndled. ¹⁴ The LORDE thondered from heaue, and the Hyest put forth his voyce. ¹⁵ He shot his arowes, and scatered them: he lightened, and discomfited them. ¹⁶ The pourynges out of the See were sene, and the foundacions of the earth were discouered at the chydinge of the LORDE, & at the breth of the sprete of his wrath. ¹⁷ He sent downe from aboue, and receaued me, and drue me out of many waters. ¹⁸ He delyuered me fro my stronge enemye, from them that hated me, for they were to mightie for me. ¹⁹ They ouertoke me in the tyme of my trouble, but the LORDE was my succoure. ²⁰ He broughte me forth in to liberty: he delyuered me, because he had a fauoure vnto me. ²¹ The LORDE shal rewarde me after my righteousnes, and acordinge to the clennes of my handes shal he recompence me. ²² For I haue kepte ye waye of the LORDE, & haue not bene vngodly agaynst my God. ²³ For I haue an eye vnto all his lawes, and haue not put his ordinaunces fro me. ²⁴ Therfore wil I be perfecte vnto him, and wyl eshue myne awne wickednes. ²⁵ So shal ye LORDE rewarde me after my righteousnes, acordinge to the clenes of my handes in his eye sighte. ²⁶ With the holy shalt thou be holy, and wt the perfecte thou shalt be perfecte. ²⁷ With the cleane thou shalt be cleane, and with the frowarde thou shalt be frowarde. ²⁸ For thou shalt saue the poore oppressed people, and shalt set thine eyes agaynst the proude to brynge them downe. ²⁹ For thou O LORDE art my lanterne. The LORDE shal lighte my darknesse. ³⁰ For in ye I shal discofite an hoost of men, & in my God I shal leape ouer the wall. ³¹ The waye of God is perfecte: ye wordes of the LORDE are tryed in the fyre: he is a shylde for all the that put their trust in him. ³² For where is there a God, excepte ye LORDE? Or who hath eny strength without oure God? ³³ God hath stregthed me with power, and made playne a perfecte waye for me. ³⁴ He hath made my fete like hartes fete, & hath set me vp an hye. ³⁵ He teacheth my handes to fighte, and bendeth the stele bowe with myne armes. ³⁶ And thou hast geuen me the shylde of yi health, and with yi louynge correccion shalt thou multiplye me. ³⁷ Thou hast enlarged my goinge vnder me, and myne ankles haue not slyded. ³⁸ I wyl folowe vpon myne enemies, and destroye the: and wyl not turne backe agayne, tyll I haue broughte them to naught. ³⁹ I wil cosume them and thrust them thorow, that they come not vp: they shal fall vnder my fete. ⁴⁰ Thou hast girded me with strength to ye battayll, and hast subdued them vnder me yt rose vp agaynst me. ⁴¹ Thou hast made myne enemies to turne their backes vpo me, that I might destroye them that hate me. ⁴² They shal crye, but there shalbe no Sauioure: yee euen vnto the LORDE, but he answereth them not. ⁴³ I wil beate them as small as the dust of the earth: euen as ye claye of the stretes wil I make them thynne, and sprede them out abrode. ⁴⁴ But me shalt thou delyuer from the stryuynges of the people, and shalt kepe me to be ye heade of the Heythen: A people whom I haue not knowne, shal serue me. ⁴⁵ The straunge children haue denyed me: at the hearynge of the eare shal they herke vnto me. ⁴⁶ The straunge children are waxen olde, & are shut vp in their presons. ⁴⁷ The LORDE lyueth, and blessed be my God, and magnified be the strength of my health. ⁴⁸ God seyth that I be auenged, and subdueth the people vnto me. ⁴⁹ He bryngeth me out fro myne enemies: & from them yt ryse vp agaynst me, shalt thou exalte me, and from ye cruell man shalt thou delyuer me. ⁵⁰ For this cause wyl I geue thankes vnto the amonge the Heythen, and synge prayses vnto thy name. ⁵¹ Which doth greate health for his kynge, & sheweth mercy vnto Dauid his anoynted, and to his sede for euermore.

⁵ He put his trust in the LORDE God of Israel, so that after him there was not his like amoge all the kynges of Iuda nether had bene before him.

²² Whom hast thou despysed & blasphemed? Ouer whom hast thou lifte vp thy voyce? Eue agaynst ye holy one in Israel hast thou lifte vp thine eyes:

²⁰ helped them, and delyuered ye Agarites in to their handes, and all that was wt them: for they cried vnto God in ye batayll. And he herde them, because they put their trust in him.

⁴ And he appoynted before the Arke of ye LORDE certayne Leuites to mynister, that they shulde geue prayse, thankes and loauinges vnto the LORDE God of Israel: ⁵ namely Assaph the first, Zacharias the seconde, Ieiel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Mathithia, Eliab, Benaia, Obed Edom and Iehiel, with psalteries and harpes. But Assaph with loude Cymbales. ⁶ Benaia and Iehasiel the prestes with tabrettes, allwaye before the Arke of ye couenaunt of God. ⁷ At the same tyme ordeyned Dauid first of all to geue thakes vnto the LORDE by Assaph and his brethren. ⁸ O geue thankes vnto the LORDE, call vpon his name, tell the people what thinges he hath done. ⁹ O let youre songes be of him: prayse him, and let youre talkynge be of all his wonderous workes. ¹⁰ Geue his holy name a good reporte: let ye hert of them reioyce, that seke the LORDE. ¹¹ O seke the LORDE and his strength, seke his face euermore. ¹² Remebre his maruelous workes that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgmetes of his mouth. ¹³ Ye sede of Israel his seruaunt, ye children of Iacob his chosen. ¹⁴ He is the LORDE oure God, his iudgmetes are in all londes. ¹⁵ Be myndefull euer of his couenaut what he hath commaunded in to a thousande generacions. ¹⁶ Which he made with Abraham, & his ooth vnto Isaac. ¹⁷ And he comfirmed the same vnto Iacob for a perpetuall lawe, and to Israel for an euerlastinge couenaunt. ¹⁸ And sayde: Vnto the wyl I geue ye londe of Canaan, ye metelyne of yor inheritaunce. ¹⁹ Wha they were yet but small & fewe in nobre, and straungers in the same londe. ²⁰ And they wente from one nacion to another, & from one realme to another people. ²¹ He suffred no man to hurte them, and reproued euen kynges for their sakes. ²² Touch not myne anoynted, & do my prophetes no harme. ²³ O synge vnto ye LORDE, let all ye earth be tellynge of his saluacion from daye to daye. ²⁴ Declare his holynes amoge the Heythe, & his wonderous workes amonge ye people. ²⁵ For the LORDE is greate, and can not worthely be praysed, and more to he had in awe then all goddes. ²⁶ As for all the goddes of the Heythe, they are but Idols: but it is the LORDE that made the heauens. ²⁷ Thankesgeuynge and worshipe are before him, strength and ioye is in his place. ²⁸ Ascrybe vnto the LORDE ye kynreds of nacions: ascrybe vnto the LORDE worshipe and strength. ²⁹ Ascrybe vnto the LORDE the honoure of his name: brynge presentes, and come before him, and worshipe ye LORDE in ye bewtye of holynes. ³⁰ Let the whole earth stode in awe of him: he hath made the compase of the worlde so fast, that it can not be moued. ³¹ Let the heauens reioyse, and let the earth be glad: and let it be tolde amonge the Heythen, that the LORDE reigneth. ³² Let the See make a noyse, and the fulnesse therof: let the felde be ioyfull, and all that therin is. ³³ Let all the trees in the wod leape for ioye before the LORDE, for he commeth to iudge the earth. ³⁴ O geue thankes vnto the LORDE, for he is gracious: and his mercy endureth for euer. ³⁵ And saye: Helpe vs O God oure Sauioure, and gather vs together, and delyuer vs from the Heythen, that we maye geue thankes vnto yi holy name, and synge prayses vnto the in thy Psalmes. ³⁶ Praysed be the LORDE God of Israel from euerlastinge to euerlastinge: and let all people saye, Amen, And: Prayse be vnto the LORDE.

¹⁰ and praysed God, and sayde before the whole congregacion: Praysed be thou O LORDE God of Israel oure father, ¹¹ vnto the belongeth worshippe and power, glory, victory & thankes: for all that is in heauen and earth, is thine: thine is ye kyngdome, and thou art exalted aboue all prynces. ¹² Thine are riches and honoure before ye, thou reignest ouer all, in thy hande consisteth power and might, in thy hade is it to make euery man greate and stronge. ¹³ Now thake we the oure God, and prayse ye name of thy glory: ¹⁴ For who am I? What is my people? that we shulde be able with a fre wyll to offre, as this is done? For of the commeth all, and of thy hande haue we geuen it the: ¹⁵ For we are but pilgrems & straugers before the, as were all oure fathers. Oure life vpon earth is as a shadowe, and here is no abydinge. ¹⁶ O LORDE oure God, all this abundaunce that we haue prepared to buylde the an house vnto thy name, came of thy hande, and is thine alltogether. ¹⁷ I knowe my God, that thou tryest the hert, and that vnfaynednes is acceptable vnto the: therfore haue I geue all this with an vnfayned hert, eue with a good wyll, and now haue I had ioye to se thy people (which here are present) offre with a fre wyll vnto the. ¹⁸ O LORDE God of oure fathers Abraham, Isaac, & Israel, kepe thou euermore soch purposes and thoughtes in ye hertes of thy people, & prepare thou their hertes vnto the. ¹⁹ And graunte my sonne Salomon a perfecte hert, that he maye kepe thy comaundementes, thy testimonies, & thy statutes, that he maye do all, & buylde this palace, which I haue prepared. ²⁰ And Dauid sayde vnto the whole cogregacion: O prayse the LORDE yor God. And all the cogregacion praysed ye LORDE God of their fathers, & bowed them selues, & worshipped the LORDE & then the kynge, ²¹ and offred sacrifices vnto the LORDE. And on ye nexte morow offred they burntofferynges, a M. bullockes, a M. rames, a M. labes wt their drynkofferynges, & plenteously offred they amonge all Israel. ²² And they ate and dranke the same daie before the LORDE with greate ioye, and made Salomon the sonne of Dauid kynge ye seconde tyme, and anoynted him to be ye prynce for the LORDE, & Sadoc to be the prest. ²³ Thus sat Salomon vpon the seate of ye LORDE, kynge in his fathers steade, & prospered. And all Israel obeyed him, ²⁴ & all ye rulers & mightie men, & all kynge Dauids children submytted themselues vnto kynge Salomon. ²⁵ And ye LORDE made Salomon excellent & greate in ye sighte of all Israel, and gaue him soch a glorious kyngdome, as none had before him ouer Israel. ²⁶ So had Dauid now bene kynge ouer all Israel. ²⁷ And ye tyme that he was kynge ouer Israel, is fortye yeares: At Hebron reigned he seuen yeare, and at Ierusalem thre & thirtie yeare, ²⁸ & dyed in a good age, full of dayes, riches and honoure. And Salomon his sonne was kynge in his steade. ²⁹ These actes of kynge Dauid (both ye first and last) beholde, they are wrytten amonge the actes of Samuel the Seer, and amonge the actes of the prophet Nathan, and amoge the actes of Gad the Seer, ³⁰ with all his kyngdome, power and tymes which passed vnder him, both vpon Israel & vpon all the kyngdomes of the earth.

¹³ Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done to all ye people in the londes? Haue the goddes of the Heythen in the londes bene able to delyuer their countrees fro my hande? ¹⁴ What is he amonge all the goddes of these Heythen (whom my father damned) that was able to delyuer his people fro my hande? yt youre God shulde be able to delyuer fro my hande.

² Then gathered the Iewes together in their cities within all ye londes of kynge Ahasuerus, to laye honde on soch as wolde do the euell, & no man coulde withstonde them: for ye feare of the was come ouer all people.

⁹ which doth thinges, that are vnsearcheable, and marueles without nobre:

¹⁵ Lo, there is nether coforte ner hope for me, yf he wil slaye me. But yf I shewe and reproue myne owne wayes in his sight,

² The kynges of the earth stode vp, and the rulers are come together, agaynst the LORDE ad agaynst his anoynted.

² Yee many one there be that saye off my soule: there is no helpe for him in God.

¹⁰ All myne enemies shalbe cofounded & sore vexed: yee they shalbe turned backe and put to shame, and that right soone.

² Lest he hantch vp my soule like a lyon, & teare it in peces, whyle there is none to helpe.

¹ Why art thou gone so farre of, o LORDE? wilt thou hyde thyselff in tyme of trouble?

⁹ yee to rauish the poore, when he hath gotten him in to his nett.

¹⁷ LORDE, thou hearest the desyrous longinge off the poore: their herte is sure, that thine eare herkeneth therto. ¹⁸ Helpe the fatherlesse and poore vnto their right, that the vngodly be nomore exalted vpon earth.

⁵ But my trust is in thy mercy, and my hert is ioyfull in thy sauynge health.

¹⁰ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce, & my tunge was glad, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

² Let my sentence come forth fro thy presence, and loke vpon the thinge that is equall.

⁶ For vnto the I crie, heare me o God: enclyne thine eares to me, and herke vnto my wordes.

⁸ Kepe me as the apple of an eye, defende me vnder the shadowe of thy wynges. ⁹ From the vngodly that trouble me, fro myne enemies which compasse my soule rounde aboute.

¹³ Vp LORDE, dispoynte him & cast him downe: delyuer my soule with thy swerde from the vngodly.

² I wil prayse ye LORDE & call vpon him, so shal I be safe fro myne enemies.

³⁵ Thou hast geue me the defence of thy health, thy right hande vpholdeth me, and thy louynge correccion maketh me greate.

³⁷ I will folowe vpon myne enemies, and take them: I will not turne till they be discomfited. ³⁸ I will smyte them, they shall not be able to stonde, but fall vnder my fete. ³⁹ Thou hast gyrded me with strength vnto ye batell, thou hast throwe them all downe vnder me, that rose vp agaynst me. ⁴⁰ Thou hast made myne enemies to turne their backes vpon me, thou hast destroyed the yt hated me. ⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to helpe the: yee euen vnto the LORDE, but he herde the not. ⁴² I will beate them as small as the dust before the wynde, I will cast them out as ye claye in the stretes. ⁴³ Thou shalt delyuer me from the stryuinges of the people, thou shalt make me the heade of the Heithe.

⁵ They callled vpon the, and were helped: they put their trust in the, and were not cofounded.

⁹ But thou art he that toke me out of my mothers wobe: thou wast my hope, when I hanged yet vpon my mothers brestes. ¹⁰ I haue bene left vnto the euer sence I was borne, thou art my God, eue fro my mothers wombe. ¹¹ O go not fro me the, for trouble is harde at honde, and here is none to helpe me.

¹⁹ But be not thou farre fro me, o LORDE: thou art my sucoure, haist the to helpe me.

²² So will I declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddest off the congregacion will I prayse the. ²³ O prayse the LORDE ye that feare him: Magnifie him all ye sede of Iacob, & let all ye sede of Israel feare hi. ²⁴ For he hath not despysed ner abhorred the myserable estate of the poore: he hath not hyd his face fro me, but whe I called vnto him, he herde me. ²⁵ I wil prayse the in the greate congregacion, and perfourme my vowes in the sight off all the that feare the.

³¹ The sede shall serue him, and preach of the LORDE for euer. They shal come, & declare his rightuousnes: vnto a people that shal be borne, who the LORDE hath made.

⁴ Though I shulde walke now in the valley of the shadowe of death, yet I feare no euell, for thou art with me: thy staffe & thy shepehoke coforte me.

² My God, I trust in ye: Oh let me not be confounded, lest myne enemies triuphe ouer me. ³ For all they yt hope in ye shal not be ashamed: but soch as be scornefull despysers wt out a cause. they shall be put to cofucio.

¹⁰ All the wayes of the LORDE are very mercy & faithfulnesse, vnto soch as kepe his testament and couenaunt.

⁷ That I maye shewe the voyce of thy prayse, and tell of all thy wonderous workes.

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

¹² And so thou hast turned my heuynesse into ioye: thou hast put of my sack cloth, & gyrded me wt gladnesse. That my honor might synge prayses vnto the wt out ceassynge: O LORDE my God, I wil geue thankes vnto the for euer.

¹ In the, O LORDE, is my trust: let me neuer be put to cofucion, but delyuer me in thy rightuousnesse.

¹ In the, O LORDE, is my trust: let me neuer be put to cofucion, but delyuer me in thy rightuousnesse. ² Bowe downe thine eare to me, make haist to delyuer me: ³ be thou my stronge rocke and a house of defence, that thou mayest saue me.

¹³ I am become a very reprofe amonge all myne enemies, my neghbours & they of myne owne acquauntaunce are afrayed of me: they yt se me in the strete, coveye them selues fro me.

¹⁰ Be not ye now like horses & mooles, which haue no vnderstondinge. Whose mouthes thou must holde with bytt & brydle, yf they wil not obeie the.

² Prayse the LORDE with harpe: synge psalmes vnto him with the lute and instrument of ten strynges.

¹ I wil allwaye geue thankes vnto the LORDE, his prayse shal euer be in my mouth.

¹⁵ For the eyes of the LORDE are ouer the rightuous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers.

²² The LORDE delyuereth the soules of his seruautes, and all they that put their trust in him, shal not offende.

⁴ Let them be cofounded and put to shame, that seke after my soule: let the be turned back and brought to confucion, that ymagin myschefe for me.

¹⁰ All my bones shal saie: LORDE, who is like vnto the? which delyuerest ye poore from those that are to stronge for him, yee the poore and the nedy from his robbers.

²² This thou seist, o LORDE: holde not thy tonge the: go not farre fro me, o LORDE.

²⁶ Let them be put to confucion and shame, that reioyse at my trouble: let the be clothed with rebuke and dishonoure, that boost the selues agaynst me.

²⁸ And as for my tonge, it shall be talkynge of thy rightuousnes and of thy prayse, all the daye longe.

⁵ Thy mercy (O LORDE) reacheth vnto the heauen, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes. ⁶ Thy rightuousnesse stondeth like the stronge mountaynes, & thy iudgment like the greate depe.

²⁵ I haue bene yonge, & now am olde: yet sawe I neuer the rightuous forsake, ner his sede to seke their bred.

²⁸ For ye LORDE loueth ye thinge yt is right, he forsaketh not his sayntes, but they shal be preserued for euermore:

³⁰ Yee the rightuous shal possesse ye lode, & dwell therin for euer.

³² The lawe of his God is in his hert, therfore shal not his fotesteppes slyde. ³³ The vngodly seyth the rightuous, & goeth aboute to slaye him.

²¹ Forsake me not (O LORDE my God) O go not farre fro me. ²² Haist the to helpe me, O LORDE my succoure.

⁷ Sela. Yee euery man walketh as it were a shadowe, and disquieteth him self in vayne: he heapeth vp riches, and can not tell to whom he gathereth them.

¹ I wayted paciently for the LORDE, which enclyned himself vnto me, and herde my callinge. ² He brought me out of the horrible pitte, out of the myre and claye: he set my fete vpo the rocke, and ordred my goinges. ³ He hath put a new songe in my mouth, euen a thankesgeuynge vnto oure God. Many men seynge this, shal feare the LORDE, & put their trust in him.

⁵ O LORDE my God, greate are yi wonderous workes which thou hast done: & in thy thoughtes towarde vs there maye none be lickened vnto the.

⁹ I wil preach of yi rightuousnesse in the greate congregacion: Lo, I wil not refrayne my lippes, o LORDE, & that thou knowest. ¹⁰ I do not hyde yi rightuousnes in my hert, my talkynge is of thy treuth and sauynge health: I kepe not thy louynge mercy and faithfulnesse backe from the greate congregacion.

¹² For innumerable troubles are come aboute me: my synnes haue taken soch holde vpon me, that I am not able to loke vp: yee they are mo in nombre then the hayres of my heade, and my hert hath fayled me. ¹³ O LORDE, let it be thy pleasure to deliuer me, make haist (o LORDE) to helpe me.

⁷ All they that hate me, runne together agaynst me, and ymagin euell agaynst me. ⁸ They haue geuen a wicked sentence vpon me: when he lyeth, he shal ryse vp nomore.

⁸ Cast me not awaye in myne olde age, forsake me not when my strength fayleth me. ⁹ For myne enemies speake agaynst me, & they that laye wayte for my soule, take their councell together, sayenge: God hath forsake him, persecute him, take him, for there is none to helpe him.

¹³ My mouth shal speake of thy rightuousnesse & sauynge health all the daye loge, for I knowe no ende therof. ¹⁴ Let me go in (o LORDE God) & I wil make mencion of thy power and rightuousnesse only. ¹⁵ Thou (o God) hast lerned me fro my youth vp vntill now, therfore wil I tell of yi wonderous workes.

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.

⁶ For who is he amonge the cloudes, that maye be copared vnto the LORDE? ⁷ Yee what is he amonge the goddes, that is like vnto the LORDE? ⁸ God is greatly to be feared in the councell of the sayntes, & to be had in reuerence of all the that are aboute him.

²⁴ The waye of life ledeth vnto heaue, yt a man shulde bewarre of hell beneth.

¹⁰ The name of ye LORDE is a stronge castell, ye righteous flyeth vnto it, and shalbe saued.

⁷ Wy?dome is an hie thinge, yee eue to ye foole, for he darre not ope his mouth in ye gate.

¹ Remembre thy maker in thy youth, or euer the dayes of aduersite come, and or the yeares drawe nye, when thou shalt saye: I haue no pleasure in them:

¹ Remembre thy maker in thy youth, or euer the dayes of aduersite come, and or the yeares drawe nye, when thou shalt saye: I haue no pleasure in them: ² before the Sonne, ye light, ye Moone and the starres be darckened, and or the cloudes turne agayne after the rayne: ³ when the kepers of the house shall tremble, and when the stronge men shal bowe them selues: when the Myllers stonde still because they be so fewe, and when the sight of the wyndowes shal waxe dymme: ⁴ whan the dores in the stretes shal be shutt, and whan ye voyce of the Myller shall be layed downe: whan men shall ryse vp at the voyce of the byrde, and whan all ye doughters of musyck shalbe brought lowe: ⁵ whan men shal feare in hye places, and be afrayed in the stretes: whan the Almonde tre shalbe despysed, the greshopper borne out, and whan greate pouerte shall breake in: when man goeth to his longe home, and the mourners go aboute the stretes. ⁶ Or euer the syluer lace be taken awaye, and or the golden bende be broken: Or the pott be broken at the well, & the whele vpon the Cisterne: ⁷ Or dust be turned againe vnto earth from whence it came, and or the sprete returne vnto God, which gaue it.

¹⁶ But the LORDE of hoostes, yt holy God: shalbe exalted and vntouched, when he shal declare his equyte and rightuousnesse after this maner.

¹⁹ Which vse to speake on this maner: let him make haist now, and go forth wt his worke, that we maye se it. Let the councel of ye holy one of Israel come, and drawe nie, yt we maye knowe it.

²⁴ Therfore, like as fyre licketh vp the strawe, and as the flame cosumeth the stubble: Euen so (when their root is ful,) their blossome shal vanish awaye like dust or smoke. for they despyse the lawe of the LORDE of hoostes, and blaspheme the worde of the holy maker of Israel.

¹⁸ But lo, as for me, and the children which the LORDE hath geuen me: we are a token and a wondre in Israel, for the LORDE of hoostes sake, which dwelleth vpon the hill of Syon.

⁷ he shal make no ende to encrease the kyngdome and peace, and shal syt vpon the seate of Dauid and in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, to stablish it with equyte and rightuousnesse, from thence forth for euermore. This shal the gelousy of the LORDE of hoostes bringe to passe.

¹ So that then thou shalt saye: O LORDE, I thanke the, for thou wast displeased at me, but thou hast refrayned thy wrath, and hast mercy vpon me.

⁶ Crie out, and be glad, thou that dwellest in Sion, for greate is thy prince: the holy one of Israel.

¹³ O LORDE oure God, though soch lordes haue dominacion vpon vs as knowe not the: yet graute, that we maye only hope in the, and kepe thy name in remembraunce.

¹⁹ But as for thy dead men and ours, that be departed, they are in life and resurrection. They lie in the earth, they wake, & haue ioye: for yi dew is a dew of life & light. But ye place of the malicious Tyrauntes is falle awaye.

¹¹ Treade out of the waye, go out of the path, turne the holy one of Israel from vs. ¹² Therfore thus saieth the holy one of Israel: In as moch as ye haue cast of youre bewtie, and conforted youre selues with power and nymblenesse, and put youre confidence therin:

¹⁶ He it is, that shal dwel on hie, whose sauegarde shalbe in the true rocke, to him shalbe geuen the right true meat & drynke.

¹⁷ Neuertheles my couersacion hath so pleased ye, that thou woldest not make an ende of my life, so that thou hast cast all my synnes behynde thy backe.

¹⁸ To whom then will ye licke God? or what similitude will ye set vp vnto him?

²⁵ To whom now wil ye licken me, & whom shal I be like, saieth the holy one?

³¹ But vnto them that haue the LORDE before their eyes, shal strength be encreased, Aegles wynges shal growe vpon them: When they runne, they shal not fall: and when they go, they shal not be weery.

¹¹ Beholde, all they that resist the, shal come to confucion and shame: and thine aduersaries shalbe destroyed & brought to naught.

³ For I am the LORDE thy God, the holyone of Israel, thy Sauioure. I gaue Egipte for yi delyueraunce, the Moryas and the Sabees for the:

¹ Bvt who geueth credence vnto oure preachinge? Or to who is the arme of the LORDE knowne?

⁹ But as farre as the heauens are hyer then the earth, so farre do my waies exceade yours, & my thoughtes yours

¹⁵ For thus saieth the hie and excellet, euen he that dwelleth in euerlastingnesse, whose name is the holyone: I dwel hie aboue and in the sanctuary, & with him also, yt is of a cotrite and huble sprete: yt I maye heale a troubled mynde, and a cotrite herte.

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.

⁷ I will declare the goodnesse of the LORDE, yee and the prayse of the LORDE for all that he hath gyuen vs, for the greate good yt he hath done for Israel: which he hath gyuen them of his owne fauoure, & acordinge to the multitude of his louynge kindnesses.

⁵ Before I fasshioned the in thy mothers wobe, I dyd knowe the: And or euer thou wast borne, I sanctified the, & ordened the, to be a prophet vnto the people.

⁴ Els woldest thou saye vnto me: O my father, thou art he that hast brought me vp, and led me fro my youth:

⁷ Who wolde not feare the? or what kige of the Gentiles wolde not obeye the? For amonge all the wysemen of the Gentiles, and in all their kingdomes, there is none, that maye be lickened vnto the.

⁸ For thou art the comforte & helpe of Israel in the tyme of trouble. Why wilt thou be as a straunger in the Londe, and as one that goeth ouer the felde, ad cometh in only to remayne for a night?

¹⁹ O LORDE, my strength, my power, and refuge in tyme off trouble. The Gentiles shall come vnto the from the endes off the worlde, and saye: Verely oure fathers haue cleued vnto lies, their Idols are but vayne and vnprofitable.

⁷ O Blissed is the man, that putteth his trust in the LORDE, and whose hope the LORDE is himself.

¹³ Thou art the comforte off Israel. All they that forsake the, shalbe confounded: all they that departe from the, shalbe written in earth, for they haue forsaken the LORDE, the very condite of the waters of life.

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.

¹⁰ For why, I herde so many derisios and blasphemies, yee euen of myne owne companyons, and off soch as were conuersaunte with me: which wente aboute, to make me afrayed sayenge: vpon him, let vs go vpon him, to feare him, and make him holde his tonge: yt we maye ouercome him, and be avenged off him. ¹¹ But the LORDE stode by me, like a mightie giaunte: therfore my persecuters fell, and coude do nothinge. They shal be sore confouded, for they haue done vnwisely, they shall haue an euerlastinge shame.

⁷ All they yt came vpon them, haue deuoured the: & their enemies sayde: We haue made no faute agaynst them, for they haue displeased the LORDE, yee euen the LORDE which is the bewtie of their rightuousnes, & yt defended their fathers.

²¹ Whyle I cosidre these thinges in my hert, I get a hope agayne.

²⁶ O how good is it with stilnesse to wate and tarie, for the health of the LORDE?

⁶ Kyll, & destroye both olde men and yonge, maydens, children, and wyues. But as for those, that haue this marck [Hebrew: t] Thau vpo them: se that ye touch them not, and begynne at my Sanctuary. Then they begane at the elders, which were in the Temple,

¹² Therfore prophecie thou, & speake vnto them. Thus saieth the LORDE God: Beholde, I wil open youre graues (o my people) & take you out of youre sepulcres, & bringe you in to the londe of Israel agayne. ¹³ So shall ye knowe yt I am the LORDE, when I open youre graues, & bringe you out of them.

¹⁵ wel, be redy herafter, when ye heare the noyse of the tropettes, blowne with the harpes, shawmes, psalteries, symphonies and all ye other melodies: that ye fall downe, and worshipe the ymage which I haue made. But yff ye worshipe it not, ye shal be cast immediatly in to an hote burnynge ouen. Let se, what god is there, yt maye delyuer you out of my hondes?

¹⁶ (o LORDE) & done wickedly agaynst all thy rightuousnes: yet let thy wrothfull displeasure be turned awaye (I beseke the) from thy cite Ierusalem thy holy hill. And why? for oure synnes sake and for the wickednesse of oure forefathers: is Ierusalem and thy people abhorred, of all them that are aboute vs.

¹ In their aduersite they shall seke me, and saye: come, let vs turne agayne to the LORDE: for he hath smytten vs, and he shal heale vs: ² He hath wounded vs, & he shal bynde vs vp agayne: after two dayes shal he quycken vs, in the thirde daye he shal rase vs vp, so that we shal lyue in his sight.

⁶ I wente downe to the botome of the hilles, & was barred in with earth for euer. But thou (o LORDE my God) hast brought vp my lyfe agayne out of corrupcion.

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

¹⁸ But as for me, I wil be glad in the LORDE, and will reioyce in God my Sauioure. ¹⁹ The LORDE God is my strength, he shall make my fete as the fete of hertes: & he which geueth ye victory, shal bringe me to my hye places, synginge vpon my psalmes.

⁶ Then the angel of the LORDE testified vnto Iesua, & spake,

¹² I will comforte them in the LORDE, that they maye walke in his name, saieth the LORDE.

³³ Seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of heauen and the righteousnes therof, so shal all these thynges be ministred vnto you.

³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his hert, bringeth forth good thinges: & an euel man out of his euell treasure, bringeth forth euell thinges.

³ Then assembled together the hye prestes and the scrybes, and the elders of the people in to the palace of the hye prest which was called Caiphas, ⁴ and helde a councell, how they might take Iesus by disceate, and kyll him.

¹ Vpon the morow, all the hye prestes and elders of the people helde a councell agaynst Iesus, that they might put him to death,

⁴² he hath helped other, and can not helpe himself: Yf he be the kynge of Israel, let him come downe now from the crosse, and we wil beleue him ⁴³ He trusted in God, let him delyuer him now, yf he wil haue him. For he hath sayde: I am the sonne of God.

⁴⁶ And aboute the nyenth houre, Iesus cried with a loude voyce, and sayde: Eli, Eli, Lamma asabthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁹ But ye other sayde: holde, let se whether Elias wyl come, and delyuer him.

³³ And he toke with him Peter & Iames, & Ihon, and begane to waxe fearefull, & to be in an agonye, ³⁴ & sayde vnto the: My soule is heuy eue vnto ye death: tary ye here and watch.

³⁴ And aboute ye nyenth houre Iesus cried loude, and sayde: Eli, Eli, lamma asabthani? which is interpreted: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³¹ Beholde, thou shalt coceaue in thy wobe, & beare a sonne & shalt call his name Iesus: ³² he shalbe greate, & shalbe called ye sonne of the Hyest. And the LORDE God shal geue him ye seate of Dauid his father,

⁴⁶ And Mary sayde:My soule magnifieth the LORDE. ⁴⁷ And my sprete reioyseth i God my Sauioure.

⁴⁹ For he that is Mightie, hath done greate thinges vnto me, and holy is his name.

³⁴ And Symeon blessed them, and sayde vnto Mary his mother: Beholde, this (childe) shalbe set to a fall, and to an vprysinge agayne of many in Israel, and for a token, which shalbe spoke agaynst.

⁴⁰ And the childe grewe, and wexed stronge in sprete, full of wyssdome, & the grace of God was with him.

²⁴ who God hath raysed vp, and lowsed the sorowes of death, for so moch as it was vnpossyble that he shulde be holden of it.

³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. ³³ Seynge now that he by the right hande of God is exalted, and hath receaued of ye father ye promyse of the holy goost, he hath shed forth this, that ye se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascended in to heauen, but he sayde: The LORDE sayde vnto my LORDE: Syt thou on my righte hande,

¹³ They sawe the boldnesse of Peter & Ihon and marueyled, for they were sure yt they were vnlerned men and laye people. And they knewe the also, that they were wt Iesu.

³⁶ For Dauid, whan he in his tyme had serued the wyll of God, he fell a slepe, and was layed by his fathers, & sawe corrupcion.

¹⁷ for in it ye righteousnes that is of value before God, is opened, which cometh out of faith i to faith.

²¹ But now without addinge to of ye lawe is the righteousnes which avayleth before God, declared, hauynge witnesse of ye lawe and the prophetes:

³³ As it is wrytten: Beholde, I laye in Sion a stone to stoble at, and a rocke to be offended at: and who so euer beleueth on him, shal not be confounded.

³ For they knowe not the righteousnes which auayleth before God, and go aboute to manteyne their awne righteousnes: and thus they are not subdued vnto the righteousnes, that is off value before God.

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,

¹³ The God off hope fyll you wt all ioye and peace in beleuynge, yt ye maye be plenteous in hope thorow ye power of the holy goost.

⁹ Me thynketh that God hath set forth vs Apostles for the lowest off all, euen as those that are appoynted vnto death. For we are a gasynge stocke vnto ye worlde and to the angels, and vnto men.

¹³ There hath yet no teptacion ouertaken you, but soch as foloweth the nature of man. Neuertheles God is faithfull, which shal not suffre you to be tempted aboue youre strength, but shal in the myddes of ye temptacion make a waye to come out, that ye maye beare it.

²⁵ For he must raygne, tyll he haue put all his enemies vnder his fete.

⁴ which comforteth vs in all oure trouble: in so moch yt we are able to comforte them that are in eny maner of trouble, with the same comforte wher with we oure selues are comforted of God. ⁵ For as the affliccios of Christ are plenteous in vs, euen so is or cosolacion plenteous by Christ.

¹⁴ Yet thankes be vnto God, which all waye geueth vs the victory in Christ, and openeth ye fauoure of his knowlege by vs in euery place.

⁸ We are troubled on euery syde, yet are we not without shift. We are in pouertie, but not vtterly without somwhat. ⁹ We are persecuted, but we are not forsaken. We are oppressed, neuertheles we perish not. ¹⁰ We allwayes beare aboute in oure body the dyenge of the LORDE Iesus yt the life also of the LORDE Iesus might appeare in oure body. ¹¹ For we which lyue, are alwayes delyuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might appeare in oure mortall flesh. ¹² Therfore is death now mightie in vs, but life in you.

⁸ by honoure and dishonoure, by euell reporte and good reporte: as disceauers, & yet true: ⁹ as vnknowne, and yet knowne: as dyenge, and beholde, we lyue: as chastened, and not kylled: ¹⁰ as sorowynge, and yet allwaye mery: as poore, & yet make many riche: as hauynge nothinge, & yet possessynge all thinges.

⁶ Neuertheles God that comforteth the abiecte, comforted vs by the comynge of Titus.

¹³ Therfore are we comforted, because ye are comforted: but exceadingly the more ioyed we, for the ioye of Titus, because his sprete was refresshed of you all.

²³ They are the mynisters of Christ (I speake as a fole) I am more: in laboures more abudaunt, in strypes aboue measure, in presonmentes more plenteously, in death oft. ²⁴ Of the Iewes receaued I fyue tymes fortye strypes, one lesse. ²⁵ Thryse was I beaten with roddes. I was once stoned, I suffred thryse shypwracke: nighte and daye haue I bene in the depe of the see: ²⁶ I haue oft iourneyed: I haue bene oft in parels of waters, in parels amonge murthurers, in parels amonge the Iewes, in parels amonge the Heythen, in parels in cities, in parels in the wylderners, in parels vpon the See, in parels amonge false brethre, ²⁷ in laboure & trauayle, in moch watchinges, in honger and thyrst, in moch fastinges in colde and nakednesse: ²⁸ Besyde those thynges which are outwarde, namely my daylie combraunce, my daylie care for all cogregacions. ²⁹ Who is weake, and I be not weake? Who is offended, & I burne not? ³⁰ Yf I must nedes make my boast, I wil boast my selfe of myne infirmyte. ³¹ God ye father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euer, knoweth that I lye not.

¹⁵ But whan it pleased God which separated me fro my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace,

¹⁶ that he graunte you (acordinge to ye riches of his glory) to be strengthed with power by his sprete in ye inwarde ma,

⁹ That he wente, vp what is it, but that he first came downe in to ye lowest partes of ye earth?

²⁹ Let no filthy communicacion proceade out of youre mouth, but that which is good to edifye withall, wha nede is, that it be gracious to heare.

²⁰ geuynge thankes alwayes for all thinges vnto God the father, in the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ,

¹⁰ Fynally my brethren, be stronge in the LORDE, and in the power of his mighte:

⁹ And for the same I praye, yt yor loue maye increace more & more in all maner of knowlege and in all experience,

⁹ & be founde in him, not hauynge myne awne righteousnes which commeth of the lawe, but by the faith of Christ (namely) the righteousnes which commeth of God in faith,

¹³ I can do all thinges thorow Christ, which stregtheth me.

⁹ For what thankes can we recompece to God agayne for you, because of this ioye that we haue concernynge you before oure God?

¹⁰ yee and that thinge ye do vnto all the brethre, which are thorow out all Macedonia. But we beseke you brethren that ye increace yet more and more,

⁶ For it is a righteous thinge with God, to recopence tribulacion vnto the yt trouble you:

¹² for the which cause I also suffre these thinges, neuertheles I am not ashamed. For I knowe whom I haue beleued, and am sure that he is able to kepe that which I haue commytted vnto his kepynge agaynst that daye.

¹ Thou therfore my sonne, be stronge thorow the grace which is in Christ Iesu.

¹⁵ And for so moch as thou hast knowne holy scripture of a childe, the same is able to make ye wyse vnto saluacion thorow the faith in Christ Iesu.

¹⁸ And the LORDE shal delyuer me from all euell doynge, and shal kepe me vnto his heauenly kyngdome. To whom be prayse for euer and euer, Amen.

³⁵ Cast not awaye therfore yor confidence, which hath so greate a rewarde.

¹³ Wherfore gyrde op the loynes off youre mynde, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought vnto you, by the declarynge of Iesus Christ,

⁶ Wherfore it is conteyned in the scripture: Beholde, I put in Sion an heade corner stone, electe & precious, and he that beleueth on him, shal not be cofounded.

⁵ Likewyse ye yoger submytte youre selues vnto the elder. Submytte youre selues euery man one to another, and knyt yor selues together in lowlynes of mynde. For God resisteth the proude, but geueth grace to the humble.

¹⁸ But growe in grace, and in the knowlege of oure LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ. To him be prayse now and for euer, Amen.

³ And euery man yt hath this hope in him, pourgeth him selfe, euen as he is pure.

⁹ and they songe a newe songe saynge: thou art worthy to take the boke & to ope the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, and hast redemed vs by thy bloud, out of all kynreddes, and toges, and people, and nacions,

² And I sawe another angel ascende fro the rysinge of the sonne: which had the seale of ye lyuinge God and he cryed with a loude voyce to the foure angelles (to whom power was geuen to hurt the earth and the see) ³ sayenge: Hurt not the earth nether the see, nether the trees, till we haue sealed the seruautes of oure God in their forheddes.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: LORDE thou wotest. And he sayde vnto me: these are they which cam out of gret tribulacion, and made their garmentes large, and made the whyte in the bloude of the lambe:

¹⁵ And the seuenth angel blewe, and ther were made greate voyces in heauen, sayege: the kyngdoms of this worlde are oure LORDES and his Christes, and he shal reigne for eurmore.
