Psalm 103 - 150

Psalm 103

1 Blesse God O my soule: and all that is within me [prayse] his holy name.
2 Blesse God O my soule: and forget not all his benefites.
3 Who forgeueth all thy wickednesse: and healeth all thine infirmities.
4 Who redeemeth thy lyfe from destruction: [and] crowneth thee with mercie and louyng kyndnesse.
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good thynges: causyng thy youth lyke an Egles to be renued.
6 God executeth iustice and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wrong.
7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moyses: his workes vnto the children of Israel .
8 God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie.
9 He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he [his anger] for euer.
10 He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse.
11 For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym.
12 [Loke] howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs.
13 Yea lyke as a father pitieth [his owne] children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym.
14 For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
15 The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde.
16 For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is no more [seene]: and the place therof knoweth it no more.
17 But the mercifull goodnesse of God endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare hym: and his righteousnesse vpon childers children.
18 Euen vpon such as kepe his couenaunt: and thinke vpon his commaundementes to do them.
19 God hath prepared his seate in heauen: and his kyngdome ruleth ouer all.
20 Blesse God O ye his angels mightie in operation: who fulfyll his worde in hearkening vnto the voyce of his word.
21 Blesse God all ye his hoastes: you his ministers that do his pleasure.
22 Blesse God all you his workes in all places of his dominion: O my soule blesse thou God.

Psalm 104

1 My soule blesse thou God: O God my Lord thou art become exceeding great, thou hast put on glory and maiestie.
2 Who is decked with light as it were with a garment: spreadyng out the heauens like a curtayne.
3 Who seeleth his vpper chaumbers with waters: and maketh the cloudes his charriot, and walketh vpon the wynges of the wynde.
4 He maketh his angels spirites: and his ministers a flaming fire.
5 He hath layde the earth sure vpon her foundations: that it can neuer moue at any tyme.
6 Thou coueredst it with the deepe, lyke as with a garment: the waters stande vpon the hilles.
7 At thy rebuke they flee: at the noyse of thy thunder they bluster downe apace.
8 The hilles mount aloft: and the valleys settle downe beneath vnto the place where thou hast layde a foundation for them.
9 Thou hast set them their boundes which they shall not passe: neither shall they returne agayne to couer the earth.
10 Who also causeth the springes which runne betweene the hilles: to flowe into the riuers.
11 All beastes of the fielde drinke therof: and the wylde asses quench their thirst.
12 The foules of the ayre haue their habitation nigh vnto them: singing out of the midst of the bowes [of trees.]
13 He watereth the hilles from aboue: the earth is replenished with the fruite of thy workes.
14 He causeth grasse to growe for cattell: and hearbes for the vse of man.
15 That he may bryng foorth foode out of the earth: both wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oyle to make hym haue a chearefull countenaunce, & also bread to strengthen mans heart.
16 The trees of God be satisfied: euen the Cedars of Libanus which he hath planted.
17 Wherin the birdes make their nestes: in the fyrre trees the storke buyldeth.
18 The high hilles are a refuge for goates: and so are the stonie rockes for conies.
19 He hath made the moone for certayne seasons: and the sunne knoweth his goyng downe.
20 Thou makest darknes and it is night: wherein all the beastes of the forrest do go abrode.
21 The Lions do roare after a pray: and in seeking their meate of God.
22 When the sunne ariseth, they recoyle backe: and lay them downe to rest in their dennes.
23 Man goeth foorth to his worke: and to do his seruice vntyll the euening.
24 O God howe manyfolde are thy workes? thou hast made them al in wisdome, the earth is ful of thy ryches.
25 So is the sea it selfe large and wyde in compasse: wherein are thinges creeping innumerable, both small and great beastes.
26 There go the shippes, and there is that Leuiathan: whom thou hast made to take his pastime therin.
27 These wayte all vpon thee: that thou mayest geue them meate in due season.
28 When thou geuest it them, they gather it: and when thou openest thyne hand, they are filled with that which is good.
29 When thou hydest thy face, they are troubled: when thou takest away their spirite, they dye, and are turned agayne to their dust.
30 When thou sendest out thy spirite, they be recreated: and thou reuiuest the face of the earth.
31 The glorious maiestie of God shal endure for euer: God wyll reioyce in his workes.
32 He beholdeth the earth, & it trembleth: he toucheth the hilles, and they smoke.
33 I wyll syng vnto God as long as I liue: I will sing psalmes vnto my Lord so long as I shall be.
34 My meditations of hym shalbe very pleasaunt: for all my ioy shalbe in God.
35 As for sinners they shalbe consumed out of the earth: and the vngodly shall come to an ende, blesse thou God O my soule, [and] prayse you the Lorde.

Psalm 105

1 Confesse you [it] vnto God, call vppon his name: cause the people to vnderstande his deuises.
2 Sing vnto hym, sing psalmes vnto him: talke you of all his wonderous workes.
3 Glary ye in his holy name: let the heart of them reioyce that do seeke God.
4 Seeke God and his strength: seeke his face euermore.
5 Remember the meruaylous workes that he hath done: his wonders, and the iudgementes of his mouth.
6 O ye seede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye his chosen chyldren of Iacob:
7 he is God our Lord, his iudgementes are in all the earth.
8 He hath ben mindfull alwayes of his couenaunt (for he promised a worde to a thousande generations:)
9 euen of his couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and of his othe vnto Isaac.
10 And he appointed the same vnto Iacob for a law: and to Israel for an euerlasting couenaunt.
11 Saying, vnto thee I wyll geue the lande of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritaunce.
12 When they were a fewe men in number, and had ben straungers but a litle whyle in it:
13 and when they went from one nation to another, from one kingdome to another people.
14 He suffred no man to do them wrong: yea he reproued euen kynges for their sakes.
15 Touche not mine annoynted: and triumph not ouer my prophetes.
16 Moreouer he called for a famine vpon the lande: and he made all maner of foode to fayle.
17 But he had sent a man before them: euen Ioseph, who was solde to be a bonde seruaunt.
18 Whose feete they dyd hurt in the stockes: the iron entred into his soule.
19 Vntill the tyme came that his cause [was knowen:] the worde of the Lorde tryed hym.
20 The king sent and caused hym to be let go: yea the prince of the people opened a way foorth for hym.
21 He made him Lorde of his house: and ruler of all his substaunce.
22 That he might enfourme his princes according to his minde: and teache his senatours wysdome.
23 Israel also came into Egypt : & Iacob was a straunger in the lande of Cham.
24 And he encreased his people exceedinglye: and made them stronger then their enemies.
25 Whose heart so turned that they hated his people: and dealt subtilly with his seruauntes.
26 [Then] he sent Moyses his seruaunt, and Aaron whom he had chosen:
27 they did their message, workyng his signes among them, and wonders in the lande of Cham.
28 He sent darknes, & it was darke: and they went not from his wordes.
29 He turned their waters into blood: and slue their fishe.
30 Their lande brought foorth frogges: yea euen in their kinges chaumbers.
31 He spake the worde, and there came a swarme of all maner of flyes: [and] of lyce in all their quarters.
32 He gaue them haylestones for rayne: [and] flambes of fire in their lande.
33 He smote their vines also & figge trees: and he destroyed the trees that were in their coastes.
34 He spake the worde, and the grashoppers came: & caterpillers innumerable.
35 And they did eate vp all the grasse in their lande: and deuoured the fruite of their grounde.
36 He smote al the first borne in their land: euen the first fruites of all their concupiscence.
37 He also brought them foorth with siluer and golde: there was not one feeble person in their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were smytten with dread of them.
39 He spred out a cloude to be a couering: and fire to geue light in the night season.
40 The [people] required and he brought quayles: and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
41 He opened the rocke of stone and the waters flowed out: so that streames ranne in drye places.
42 For he remembred his holy worde: [spoken] vnto Abraham his seruaunt.
43 And he brought foorth his people with gladnes: [and] his chosen with a ioyfull noyse.
44 And he gaue them the landes of the Heathen, and they toke to inheritaunce the labours of the people.
45 To the intent that they shoulde kepe his statutes: and obserue his lawes. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Psalm 106

1 <Prayse ye the Lorde.> Confesse you [it] vnto god, for he is gratious: and his mercy endureth for euer.
2 Who can expresse the valiaunt actes of God: who can publishe abrode all his prayse?
3 Blessed are they that kepe iudgement: and do iustice at all times.
4 Remember me O God according to the fauour that thou bearest vnto thy people: O visite me with thy saluation.
5 That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen, that I may reioyce at the gladnes of thy people: [and] that I may glorie with thyne inheritaunce.
6 We haue sinned with our fathers: we haue done amisse and dealt wickedly.
7 Our fathers did not well consider thy wonders in Egypt , neither did they remember thy manifolde great goodnes: but they rebelled at the sea, euen at the red sea.
8 Neuerthelesse, he saued them for his names sake: that he myght make his power to be knowen.
9 And he rebuked the red sea, and it was dryed vp: so he led them through the deepe, as through a wyldernesse.
10 And he saued them from the hande of suche as hated them: & redeemed them from the hande of the enemie.
11 As for their aduersaries the waters ouerwhelmed them: there was not one of them left remayning.
12 Then beleued they his wordes: and song prayse vnto him.
13 But within a very short whyle they forgat his workes: they woulde not wayte for his counsell.
14 And they were taken with a great lust in the wyldernesse: and they tempted God in the desert.
15 And he gaue them their desire: and sent leannes withal into their soule.
16 They enuied also at Moyses in the tentes: [and] at Aaron the saint of God.
17 So the earth opened and swalowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram.
18 And the fire was kindled in their company: the flambe brent vp the vngodly.
19 They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the moulten image.
20 Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calfe that eateth hay.
21 They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt :
22 wonderous workes in ye land of Cham, [and] terrible thinges at the red sea.
23 Wherfore he appointed to destroy them, had not Moyses his chosen stand in the breache before hym: to turne away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.
24 Yea they thought scorne of the lande most to be desired: they gaue no credite vnto his worde.
25 But they murmured in their tentes: they would not hearken vnto the voyce of God.
26 Then lift he vp his hand against them, to geue them an ouerthrowe in the wildernesse:
27 to geue their seede an ouerthrowe amongst the nations, and to scatter them in sundry landes.
28 They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor: they also did eate of the sacrifices of the dead.
29 And they prouoked the [Lorde] vnto anger with their owne inuentions: and a plague fell mightily amongst them.
30 Then stoode vp Phinehes, he executed iustice: and so the plague ceassed.
31 And that was imputed vnto hym for righteousnesse: in generation and generation for euermore.
32 They also prouoked [God] at the waters of strife: and all was not well with Moyses for their sakes.
33 For they had caused an alteration to be of his spirite: so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.
34 Moreouer, they destroyed not the Heathen: as God commaunded them.
35 But they were mingled amongst the Heathen: and learned their workes.
36 Insomuch that they dyd seruice vnto their idols: whiche were to the a snare.
37 Yea they sacrifised their sonnes: and their daughters vnto deuils.
38 And they shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes and of their daughters: whom they sacrifised vnto the idols of Chanaan, and the lande was defiled with blood.
39 Thus were they stayned with their owne workes: and went a whoryng with their owne inuentions.
40 Therfore was the wrath of God kindeled against his people: insomuch that he abhorred his owne inheritaunce.
41 And he gaue them ouer into the hand of the Heathen: and they that dyd hate them, were lordes ouer them.
42 Their enemies oppressed them: and brought them into subiection vnder their hande.
43 Many a time dyd [God] deliuer them, but they rebelled [against hym] with their owne inuentions: and were brought downe for their wickednes.
44 Neuerthelesse, he did beholde them in their aduersitie: in geuing eare to their complaint.
45 And he remembred his couenaunt: and repented, according to the multitude of his mercies.
46 Yea he made all those that led them away captiue: to pitie them.
47 Saue vs O God our Lorde, and gather vs from among the Heathen: that we may geue thankes to thy holy name, and glory of thy prayse.
48 Blessed be God the Lord of Israel from world to world without end: and let all people say, so be it. Prayse ye the Lord.

Psalm 107

1 Confesse you [it] vnto God: for he is gratious, and his mercy endureth for euer.
2 Let such as God did redeme speake: whom he hath redeemed from the hande of the enemie.
3 And whom he gathered out of the landes: from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4 They went astray out of the way in solitarines [and] in wildernes, and found no citie to dwell in:
5 they were hungry and thirstie, their soule fainted in them.
6 And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth them from their distresse.
7 And he leadeth them foorth by the right way: that they might go to the citie inhabited.
8 O that men would confesse vnto God his louyng kindnesse: and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
9 For he satisfieth the greedie soule: and filleth the hungry soule with goodnes.
10 Suche as sit in darknesse and in the shadowe of death: beyng fast bounde in miserie and iron.
11 Because they went from the wordes of the Lorde: and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most highest.
12 Therfore he humbled their heart thorowe heauines: they fall downe, and there is none to helpe them.
13 And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse.
14 For he bringeth them out of darknesse and out of the shadowe of death: and breaketh their bondes in sunder.
15 O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
16 For he breaketh the gates of brasse: & smyteth the barres of iron in sunder.
17 Foolish men are plagued for their mischeuous wayes: & for their wickednes.
18 Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate: and they be euen harde at deathes doore.
19 And they crye vnto God in their trouble: who deliuereth them out of their distresse.
20 he sendeth his worde & healeth them: and he maketh them to scape safe from their corruptnes.
21 O that men would confesse vnto God: his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
22 And that they would offer [vnto him] sacrifices of thankes geuing: and set foorth in wordes his workes with a ioyfull noyse.
23 Such as go downe to the sea in ships and folowe their busines in great waters:
24 they see the workes of God, and his wonders in the deepe.
25 For he commaundeth and causeth a stormie winde to arise: and he lifteth vp on high his waues.
26 [Then] they ascende vp to heauen, and come downe agayne to the deepe: so that their soule melteth away through trouble.
27 They reele to and fro, and they do stacker like a drunken man: and their wysdome fayleth them.
28 And they cry vnto god in their trouble: who deliuereth the out of their distresse.
29 For he maketh the storme to ceasse: so that the waues therof are still.
30 Then be they glad because they are at rest: and he bringeth them to the hauen where they woulde be.
31 O that men would confesse vnto god: his louyng kyndnes and meruaylous actes [done] to the chyldren of men.
32 And that they would exalt him in the congregation of the people: and prayse him in the consistorie of the aged.
33 He turneth fluddes into a wildernes: and waterspringes into a drye grounde.
34 He [maketh] a fruitfull grounde barren: for the wickednes of them that dwell therein.
35 [Contrary] he reduceth a wyldernes into a standing water: and a drye ground into water springes.
36 And he setteth there the hungry: and they buylde them a citie to dwell in.
37 And they sowe their lande and plant vineyardes: and they yelde [vnto them] aboundant store of fruites.
38 He blesseth them, so that they multiplie exceedingly: and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 But [when they do fall from God,] they are diminished & brought low: through oppression, calamitie, & griefe of minde.
40 He bringeth princes into contempt: & he maketh them to wander in a wildernesse where there is no way at all.
41 Yet he exalteth the poore out of miserie: and geueth him housholdes equall to flockes of cattell.
42 The righteous will marke [this] and reioyce: and the mouth of all wickednesse shalbe stopped.
43 Whosoeuer is wyse, he wyll both obserue these thinges: and also well consider the louing kindnesse of God.

Psalm 108

1 <A song, the psalme of Dauid.> My heart is redye O Lorde: I wyll sing & prayse thee in singing of psalmes, yea my glory also is [redie.]
2 Bestirre thee O lute and harpe: I my selfe wil bestirre me right early in the morning.
3 I wyll prayse thee O God among the people: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thee among the nations.
4 For the greatnes of thy mercy reacheth vnto the heauens: and thy trueth vnto the cloudes.
5 Exalt thy selfe O Lord aboue the heauens: and let thy glory [be] aboue all the earth.
6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: saue [me] with thy right hande, and heare thou me.
7 The Lorde hath spoken this in his holynes (whereof I wyll reioyce:) I wyll deuide Sichem, and measure the valley of Sucoth .
8 Gilead shalbe myne, and Manasses shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of my head, and Iuda my law geuer.
9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edome I wyll cast my shoe, vpon Philistea I wyll triumph.
10 Who wyll leade me into the strong citie? who wyll bring me into Edom ?
11 Hast not thou remoued vs from thence? and wylt not thou O Lorde go out with our hoastes?
12 Geue vs ayde against trouble: for the sauing helpe of man is but vayne.
13 Through the Lorde wyll we do valiaunt actes: for he him selfe will treade downe our enemies.

Psalm 109

1 <To the chiefe musition, a psalme of Dauid.> Holde not thy tongue: O thou the Lorde of my prayse.
2 For the mouth of the vngodly and the mouth of the deceiptfull is opened vpon me: they haue spoken against me with a false tongue.
3 And they haue compassed me about with hatefull wordes: and fought against me without a cause.
4 For the loue that I bare vnto them, they are become mine aduersaries: but I geue my selfe vnto prayer.
5 Thus haue they rewarded me euyll for good: and hatred for my good wyll.
6 Set thou an vngodly man to be ruler ouer him: and let Satan stande at his right hande.
7 When sentence is geuen vpon hym, let him be condemned: and let his prayer be turned into sinne.
8 Let his dayes be fewe: and let another take his office.
9 Let his chyldren be fatherlesse: and his wyfe a wydowe.
10 Let his children be vagaboundes and go a begging: and let them seeke [foode] out of their barren groundes.
11 Let the extortioner bryng into his snare all that he hath: and let straungers spoyle his labour.
12 Let there be no man to shewe hym any gentlenes: nor to haue compassion vpon his fatherlesse children.
13 Let his posteritie come to destruction: and in the next generation let his name be cleane put out.
14 Let the wyckednes of his fathers be had in remembraunce in the sight of God: and let not the sinne of his mother be wyped away.
15 Let them be alway before God: that he may roote out the memorial of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembred not to do good: but he persecuted the afflicted and poore man, and hym whose heart was broken with sorow, that he might take his life from hym.
17 His delight was in cursing, and it shal happen vnto him: he loued not blessing, therfore it hath ben farre from him.
18 He clothed hym selfe with cursing, as with his garment: and it hath entred into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
19 Let it be vnto hym as the garment that he is wrapt in: and as the gyrdle that he is alway gyrded withall.
20 Let this rewarde be from God vnto myne aduersaries: and vnto those that speake euill against my soule.
21 But thou O God my Lorde, do vnto me according vnto thy name: for sweete is thy mercy.
22 Deliuer me, for truely I am afflicted: and I am poore, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I passe away like a vading shadowe: and I am dryuen from place to place lyke the grashopper.
24 My knees are weake through fasting: my fleshe is dryed vp for want of fatnesse.
25 I am become also a reproche vnto them: they gase vpon me [and] they shake their head.
26 Helpe me O my Lorde: oh saue me according to thy mercy.
27 And let the know how that this is thy hande: & that thou O God hast done it.
28 They will curse, but thou wylt blesse: they wyl rise vp [against me] but let them be confounded, and thy seruaunt wyll reioyce.
29 Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame: & let them couer the selues with their owne cofusion, as with a garment.
30 As for me I will greatly prayse God with my mouth: and I wyll prayse hym among the multitude.
31 For he wyll stande at the right hande of the poore: to saue him from the iudges of his soule.

Psalm 110

1 <A psalme of Dauid.> God sayd vnto my Lorde: sit thou on my right hande, vntyll I make thyne enemies thy footestoole.
2 God wyll sende the scepter of his power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thyne enemies.
3 Thy people wyll be very wyllyng in the time [of shewing] thy most mightie power with a beautifull holynes: the deawe of thy byrth is to thee from the wombe [as] from the morning.
4 God sware and he wyll not repent: thou art a priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec.
5 The Lorde at thy right hande: wyll wounde euen kinges in the day of his wrath.
6 He wyll iudge the Heathen: he wyll fill euery place with dead bodyes, he wyll smyte the head of a great countrey.
7 He wyll drinke of the swyft running brooke in the way: therfore he wyll lift vp his head.

Psalm 111

1 <Prayse ye the Lorde.> I wyll prayse God with my whole heart: in the congregation and assemblie of righteous men.
2 Great are the workes of God: sought out of all them that haue pleasure therin.
3 His worke is glory and maiestie: and his righteousnes endureth for euer.
4 The merciful and gratious God: hath so left a remembraunce of his meruaylous workes.
5 He hath geuen meate vnto them that feare him: he wyll euer be myndfull of his couenaunt.
6 He hath declared vnto his people the force of his workes: in geuing them the inheritaunce of the Heathen.
7 The workes of his handes are veritie and iudgement: all his commaundementes are true.
8 They be set sure for euer and euer: they are done in trueth and equitie.
9 He did sende redemption vnto his people: he hath commaunded his couenaunt [to be] for euer, holy and terrible is his name.
10 The beginning of wysdome is the feare of God: all they haue a good vnderstanding that do his commaundements, the praise of it endureth for euer.

Psalm 112

1 <Prayse ye the Lorde.> Blessed is the man that feareth God: he hath great delight in his commaundementes.
2 His seede shalbe mightie vpon the earth: the generation of them that dwell vprightly, shalbe blessed.
3 Riches and plenteousnes shalbe in his house: and his righteousnes endureth for euer.
4 There ariseth vp light in the darknes: vnto them that deale vprightly he is merciful, and louing, and righteous.
5 A good man is mercyfull and lendeth: he wyll guyde his wordes with discretion.
6 For he shalbe neuer moued: and the righteous shall be had in an euerlasting remembraunce.
7 He wyll not be afraide of any euyll tidinges: his heart is setled, he beleueth in God.
8 His heart is strengthened, he will not feare: vntyll he seeth [a mischiefe to fall] vpon his enemies.
9 He hath distributed abrode, he hath geuen to the poore: his righteousnes remayneth for euer, his horne shalbe exalted with glory.
10 The vngodly shall see it, and it wyll greeue hym, he wyll gnashe with his teethe and consume away: the desire of the vngodly shall perishe.

Psalm 113

1 <Prayse ye the Lorde.> Prayse God ye seruauntes: prayse ye the name of God.
2 Blessed be the name of God: from this time foorth for euermore.
3 The name of God is to be praysed: from the rising vp of the sunne, vnto the goyng downe of the same.
4 God is high aboue all Heathen: and his glory aboue the heauens.
5 Who is like vnto God our Lord that dwelleth on hygh aboue all:
6 and yet humbleth him selfe to beholde the thinges that are in heauen and in earth?
7 He rayseth vp the simple out of the dust: and lyfteth vp the poore from the dounghyll.
8 For to make him sit with the princes: euen with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to kepe house: and to be a ioyful mother of children. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Psalm 114

1 When Israel came out of Egypt : & the house of Iacob from among the barbarous people.
2 Iuda was his holynesse: and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea sawe that and fled: Iordane was driuen backe.
4 The mountaynes skypped lyke rammes: and the litle hilles like young lambes.
5 What ayleth thee O thou sea that thou fleddest? and thou Iordane that thou wast driuen backe?
6 Ye mountaines what [ayled] you that ye skipped lyke rammes: and ye litle hilles like young lambes?
7 Tremble thou earth at the presence of the Lorde: at the presence of the Lorde of Iacob.
8 Whiche turned the harde rocke into a standing water: and the flint stone into a springing well of waters.

Psalm 115

1 Geue praise not vnto vs O God, not vnto vs, but vnto thy name: for thy louing mercy, and for thy truethes sake.
2 Wherfore shal the Heathen say: where is nowe their God?
3 Truely our Lorde is in heauen: he hath done whatsoeuer pleased him.
4 Their idols are siluer and gold: euen the workes of mens handes.
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smell not.
7 They haue handes and handle not, they haue feete and walke not: and they vtter no sounde out of their throtes.
8 They that make them are lyke vnto them: euery one that putteth his trust in them.
9 But Israel trust thou in God: he is their ayde and their shielde.
10 Ye house of Aaron trust you in God: he is their ayde and their shielde.
11 Ye that feare God, trust ye in God: he is their ayde and their shielde.
12 God hath ben myndfull of vs, he wyll blesse vs: he wyll blesse the house of Israel , he wyll blesse the house of Aaron.
13 He wyll blesse those that feare God: the small with the great.
14 God wyll encrease you more and more: both you and also your children.
15 Ye are the blessed of God: which made heauen and earth.
16 The heauen, the heauen [I say] is Gods: and he hath geuen the earth vnto the children of men.
17 The dead prayse not thee O Lorde: neither all they that go downe into the [place] of scilence.
18 But we wyll prayse the Lord: from this tyme foorth for euermore. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Psalm 116

1 I haue loued: because God hath hearde my voyce [and] my prayers.
2 Because he hath enclined his eare vnto me: therfore I wyll call vpon hym as long as I lyue.
3 The snares of death compassed me rounde about: and the paynes of hell toke holde on me. I founde anguishe and heauinesse,
4 but I called vpon the name of God: [saying] O God, I beseche thee deliuer my soule
5 Gratious is God and ryghteous: our Lorde is mercifull.
6 God gardeth the simple: I was brought to the extremitie, and he preserued me.
7 Returne O my soule vnto thy rest: for God hath rewarded thee.
8 For [thou O Lorde] hast deliuered my soule from death: myne eyes from teares, and my feete from fallyng.
9 I wyll walke before the face of God: in the lande of the lyuyng.
10 I beleued, therfore I wyll speake: I was sore afflicted,
11 insomuch that I said in my rashnesse euery man is a lyer.
12 What rewarde shal I geue vnto God: for all the benefites that he hath done vnto me?
13 I wyll take the cuppe of saluation: and I wyll call vpon the name of God.
14 I wyll pay my vowes nowe vnto God: in the presence of all his people.
15 The death of his saintes: is precious in the eyes of God.
16 It is euen so O God, for I am thy seruaunt and the sonne of thy handemayde: thou hast loosed my bondes in sunder.
17 I wyll offer vnto thee the sacrifice of thankesgeuyng: and I wyll call vpon the name of God.
18 I wyll pay my vowes vnto God in the sight of all his people:
19 in the courtes of Gods house, euen in the myddest of thee O Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Psalm 117

1 O prayse God all ye heathen: prayse hym all ye nations.
2 For his mercifull kyndnesse is euer more and more towarde vs: and the trueth of God endureth for euer. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Psalm 118

1 O confesse you [it] vnto God, for he is gratious: and his mercie endureth for euer.
2 Let Israel nowe confesse: that his mercie endureth for euer.
3 Let the house of Aaron nowe confesse: that his mercie endureth for euer.
4 Let them nowe that feare God: confesse that his mercie endureth for euer.
5 I called vpon the Lorde beyng in distresse: and the Lorde hath hearde me at large.
6 God is with me: I wyll not feare what man can do vnto me.
7 God is with me amongst them that ayde me: [therfore] I shall see [my desire] vpon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in God: then to put any confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in God: then to put any confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me rounde about: [but I trusted] in the name of God that I shoulde destroy them.
11 They kept me in on euery syde, they kept me in I say on euery syde: [but I trusted] in the name of God that I shoulde destroy them.
12 They swarmed about me lyke bees, and they be extinguished as the fire [made] of thornes: [for I trusted] in the name of God that I should destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall: but God dyd ayde me
14 The Lorde is my strength and my song: and he is become my saluation.
15 The voyce of a ioyfull noyse & of saluation is in the dwellynges of the ryghteous: [saying] the ryght hande of God bryngeth mightie thynges to passe.
16 The ryght hande of God is on hygh: the right hande of God bryngeth mightie thynges to passe.
17 I shall not [as yet] dye, but I shal liue: and I wyll declare the workes of the Lorde.
18 The Lorde hath greatly chastened me: but he hath not geuen me ouer vnto death.
19 Open me the gates of ryghteousnesse, I wyll enter in by them: that I may geue thankes vnto the Lorde.
20 This is the gate of God: the ryghteous shall enter in by it.
21 I wyll thanke thee for that thou hast heard me: and art become my saluation.
22 The same stone which the buylders refused: is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This was the doyng of God: and it is marueylous in our eyes.
24 This is the day whiche God hath made: we wyll reioyce and be glad in it.
25 O God I pray thee nowe saue [vs]: O God I pray thee nowe geue [vs] prosperous successe.
26 Blessed be he that commeth in the name of God: we do blesse you out of the house of God.
27 It is the Lord God who hath geuen vs lyght: bynde a sacrifice with cordes vnto the hornes of the aulter.
28 Thou art my Lorde, and I wyll confesse it vnto thee: thou art my Lorde and I wyll magnifie thee.
29 O confesse you [it] vnto God, for he is gratious: and his mercie endureth for euer.

Psalm 119

1 <Aleph.> Blessed are those that be perfect in the way: walkyng in the lawe of God.
2 Blessed are they that kepe his testimonies: they seke hym with their whole heart.
3 Truely they walke in his wayes: who do no wickednesse.

13 I haue declared with my lyppes: all the iudgementes of thy mouth.
14 I am delighted in the way of thy testimonies: as in all maner of riches.
15 I wyll study thy commaundementes: and I wyll consider thy wayes.
16 My delyght shalbe in thy statutes: and I wyll not forget thy worde.
17 <Gimel> Rewarde thy seruaunt, let me lyue: and I wyll kepe thy worde.
18 Open thou myne eyes: and I will beholde the wonderous thynges of thy lawe.

20 My soule faynteth: for the very feruent desire that it hath alwaye vnto thy iudgementes.
21 Thou hast rebuked those that be proude and cursed: who do erre from thy commaundementes.
22 Withdrawe from me reproche and contempt: for that I haue kept thy testimonies.
23 Yea princes dyd syt and speake agaynst me: but thy seruaunt did geue hym selfe to the meditation of thy statutes.
24 Yea thy testimonies are my delyght: and my counsaylers.
25 <Daleth> My soule cleaueth to the dust: reuiue thou me accordyng to thy worde.
26 I haue made a declaration to thee of my wayes, and thou heardest me: O teache me thy statutes.
27 Make me to vnderstande the way of thy commaundementes: and I wyll geue my selfe to the meditation of thy wonderous workes.
28 My soule melteth away for very heauinesse: comfort thou me accordyng to thy worde.
29 Take from me the way of falshood: & witsafe me worthy to haue thy lawe.
30 I haue chosen the way of trueth: & I haue layde thy iudgementes before me.
31 I haue stuck fast vnto thy testimonies: O God confounde me not.
32 I wyll runne the way of thy commaundementes: when thou shalt set my heart at libertie.
33 <He> Teache me O God the way of thy statutes: and I wyll kepe it vnto the ende.
34 Geue me vnderstanding, & I wil kepe thy law: yea I wyll kepe it with my whole heart.
35 Leade me in the path of thy comaundementes: for therin is my delyght.
36 Encline myne heart vnto thy testimonies: and not to couetousnesse.
37 Turne away myne eyes, lest they beholde vanitie: cause me to lyue in thy way.
38 Make thy worde more euident vnto thy seruaunt: who is [geuen] to thy feare.
39 Take away the reproche that I am afraide of: for thy iudgemetes are good.
40 Behold I haue coueted after thy commaundementes: cause me to lyue in thy ryghteousnesse.
41 <Vau> Let thy louing mercie also come vnto me O God: euen thy saluation, accordyng to thy worde.
42 And I shall aunswere to hym that layeth [thy] worde to me for a reproche: for in thy worde I haue put my trust.
43 Take not the worde of trueth vtterly out of my mouth: for my hope is in thy iudgementes.
44 And I wyll alway kepe thy lawe: yea for euer and euer.
45 And I wyll walke in a large scope: for I seke thy commaundementes.
46 I wyll also speake of thy testimonies before kinges: & I will not be ashamed.

50 That same is my comfort in my affliction: for thy worde maketh me to lyue.
51 The proude haue had me exceedingly in derision: yet I haue not shrinked from thy lawe.
52 [For] I called to remembraunce thy iudgementes from the begynnyng of the worlde O God: and so I comforted my selfe.
53 An extreme vnnaturall heat hath assayled me, because of the vngodly: who transgresse thy lawe.
54 Thy statutes haue ben [my] songes: in the house of my pilgrimages.
55 I haue thought vpon thy name O God in the nyght season: and I haue kept thy lawe.
56 This came to passe for me: because I kept thy commaundementes.
57 <Heth> Thou art my portion O God: I haue purposed to kepe thy lawe.
58 I made myne humble petition to thy face with my whole heart: be mercifull vnto me according vnto thy word.
59 I haue considered mine owne wayes: and I haue turned my feete vnto thy testimonies.
60 I made haste and I made no delay: for to kepe thy commaundementes.
61 The vngodly haue tangled me in their snares: but I haue not forgotten thy lawe.
62 I wyll ryse at midnight to confesse me vnto thee: because of thy ryghteous iudgementes.
63 I am a companion of all them that feare thee: and kepe thy commaundementes.
64 The earth O God is replenished with thy louyng kyndnesse: O teache me thy statutes.
65 <Teth> O God thou hast dealt gratiouslye with thy seruaunt: according vnto thy worde.
66 Learne me the good taste & cunning: for I haue beleued thy commaundementes.
67 Before I felt affliction I swarued out of the way: but nowe I kepe thy word.
68 Thou art good and beneficiall: teache me thy statutes.
69 The proude haue forged a false tale agaynst me: but I wyll kepe thy commaundementes with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as brawne: but my delyght hath ben in thy lawe.
71 It is good for me that I am brought into miserie: by that meanes I shall learne thy statutes.
72 The lawe of thy mouth is dearer vnto me: then thousandes of golde & siluer.
73 <Iod> Thy handes haue made me and fashioned me: geue me vnderstanding, and I will learne thy comaundementes.
74 They that feare thee, shall see me, & reioyce: because I haue geuen earnest attendaunce vnto thy worde.
75 I know O God that thy iudgementes are iustice: and that thou hast caused me ryghtfully to be afflicted.

82 Myne eyes haue faynted after thy worde: whylest I say, when wilt thou comfort me.
83 For I am become like a bottel [hanged] in the smoke: yet I do not forget thy statutes.
84 Howe many are the dayes of thy seruaunt? when wilt thou geue iudgement agaynst them that persecute me?
85 The proude haue digged pittes for me: which is [a thing] not [done] accordyng to thy lawe.
86 All thy commaundementes are the trueth it selfe: they wrongfully persecute me, O be thou my ayde.
87 They had almost made an ende of me vpon the earth: but I forsoke not thy commaundementes.
88 Make me to lyue accordyng to thy pietie: and I wyll kepe the testimonies of thy mouth.
89 <Lamed> O God: thy worde endureth for euer in heauen.
90 Thy trueth [appeareth] to euery generation: thou hast layde the foundation of the earth, and it shall continue.
91 [All thynges] continue this day accordyng to thine ordinaunce: for all thinges be thy seruauntes.
92 If my delight had not ben in thy lawe: I shoulde haue perished in myne affliction.
93 I wyll neuer forget thy commaundementes: for through them thou hast reuiued me.
94 I am thine, saue me: for I haue diligently studied thy commaundementes ouer.
95 When the vngodly layde wayte for me to destroy me: I endeuoured my selfe to vnderstande thy testimonies.
96 I see an ende of euery thing be it neuer so perfect: but thy commaundement is exceedyng large.
97 <Mem> Howe greatly do I loue thy lawe? my study is all the day long in it.
98 Thou hast made me wyser then myne enemies through thy commaundementes: for they are euer with me.
99 I am able to geue better instruction then all they that were my teachers: for thy testimonies are my study.
100 I am made to vnderstande more then the aged can: because I kept thy commaundementes.
101 I haue rstrayned my feete from euery euyll way: that I may kepe thy worde.
102 I haue not shrinked from thy iudgementes: for thou didst teache me.
103 Howe sweete are thy wordes vnto my throte: truely [they be sweeter] then hony is to my mouth.
104 Through thy commaundementes I get vnderstandyng: therfore I hate all wayes of falshood.
105 <Nun> Thy worde is a candell vnto my feete: and a lyght vnto my pathes.
106 I haue made an oth (which I wil ratifie) for to kepe thy iuste iudgementes.
107 I am troubled aboue measure: quicken me O God accordyng vnto thy worde.
108 Let the freewyll offerynges of my mouth please thee O God: and teache me thy iudgementes.
109 My soule is alway in my hande: yet I do not forget thy lawe.
110 The vngodly haue layde a snare for me: but yet I swarued not from thy commaundementes.
111 I haue claymed thy testimonies as myne heritage for euer: for they are the very ioy of myne heart.
112 I haue applyed myne heart for to fulfyll thy statutes: euen to the worldes ende.
113 <Samech> I hate hygh subtile deuices: and I do loue thy lawe.
114 Thou art my refuge and my shield: I geue earnest attendaunce vnto thy worde.
115 Auoyde from me ye malicious [persons:] and I wyll kepe the commaundementes of my Lorde.
116 Strengthen me in thy worde and I shall lyue: and make me not ashamed of my hope.
117 Holde thou me vp and I shalbe safe: and I will loke gladly vpon thy statutes alwayes.
118 Thou hast troden vnder foote all them that go astray from thy statutes: for their crafty deuice is but falshood.
119 Thou hast dispatched out of the way all the vngodly of the earth lyke drosse: therfore I loue thy testimonies.
120 My fleshe trembleth for feare of thee: and I am afrayde of thy iudgementes.
121 <Ain> I haue executed iudgement and iustice: [wherfore] leaue me not to such as do offer me wrong.
122 For thy owne goodnesse sake take thy seruaunt vnto thy protection: let not the proude oppresse me with wrong.
123 Myne eyes haue faynted with lokyng for thy saluation: and for the worde of thy [ryghteousnesse.]
124 Deale with thy seruaunt accordyng vnto thy owne louyng kyndnesse: and teache me thy statutes.
125 I am thy seruaunt, graunt me vnderstandyng: that I may knowe thy testimonies.
126 It is tyme for [me] to do for Gods cause: for they haue brought thy lawe almost to nothyng.
127 Therfore I loue thy commaundementes: aboue golde and precious stone.
128 Therfore I take all thy commaundementes euery one of them to be ryght: & I vtterly hate all wayes of falshood.
129 <Pe> Thy testimonies [contayne] wonderfull thinges: therfore doth my soule kepe them.
130 The first entering of thy wordes will illuminate: geuyng vnderstanding euen vnto the simple.
131 I opened my mouth and panted: for I bare a great affection to thy commaundementes.
132 Loke thou vpon me and be mercifull vnto me: as thou vsest to do vnto those that loue thy name.
133 Direct my steppes in thy worde: and so shall no wickednesse haue dominion ouer me.
134 Redeeme me from the fraudulent dealyng of men: and I wyll kepe thy commaundementes.
135 Make the lyght of thy countenaunce shyne vpon thy seruaunt: and teache me thy statutes.
136 Ryuers of waters gushe out of myne eyes: because men kepe not thy lawe.
137 <Sade> O God: thou art iust and vpryght in thy iudgementes.
138 Thou hast commaunded the iustice and the veritie of thy testimonies: [to be obserued] very strayghtly.
139 My zeale hath consumed me: because myne aduersaries haue forgotten thy wordes.
140 Thy worde is purified to the vttermost: and thy seruaunt loueth it.
141 I am small and of no reputation: [yet] I do not forget thy comaundementes.
142 Thy ryghteousnesse is an euerlastyng righteousnesse: & thy lawe is the trueth.
143 Trouble and griefe haue taken holde vpon me: yet thy commaundementes be my delyght.
144 The righteousnesse of thy testimonies is euerlastyng: make me to vnderstande [them] and I shall lyue.

148 Myne eyes haue preuented the nyght watches: that my study might be wholy in thy wordes.
149 Heare my voyce accordyng to thy louing kindnesse: make me to lyue O God after thy iudgementes.
150 They that mynde to do an act of mischiefenesse, do drawe nye vnto me: they are farre from thy lawe.
151 But thou art nye at hande O God: and all thy comaundementes be trueth.
152 As concernyng thy testimonies: I haue knowen long since that thou hast made them to last for euer.
153 <Resh> Beholde myne affliction & deliuer me: for I haue not forgotten thy lawe.
154 Defende thou my cause & redeeme me: make me to lyue accordyng vnto thy worde.
155 Saluation is farre from the vngodly: for they study not thy statutes.
156 Thy mercies be manifolde O God: make me to liue accordyng to thy iudgementes.

158 I sawe transgressours, and I was greeued at the heart: because they kept not thy lawe.
159 Beholde howe I loue thy commaundementes: quicken me O God accordyng to thy louyng kindnesse.

Psalm 120

1 <A song of high degrees.> When I was in trouble I called vpon God: and he hearde me.
2 Deliuer my soule O God from false lyppes: & from a deceiptful tongue.
3 What doth a deceiptfull tongue vnto thee? what good bryngeth it thee?
4 [So much] as sharpe arrowes of a strong man [in thy sydes:] with Iuniper coales [powred on thy head.]
5 Wo be vnto me that am constrayned to be conuersaunt in Mesech: and to dwell among the tentes of Cedar.
6 My soule hath dwelt long: with hym that hateth peace.
7 I [am a man] of peace: but because I do speake therof, they [prepare] them selues to battayle.

Psalm 121

1 <A song of high degrees.> I will lift vp myne eyes vnto the hilles: from whence my helpe shall come.
2 My helpe commeth from God: who hath made heauen and earth.
3 He wyll not suffer thy foote to moue: he wyll not sleepe that kepeth thee.
4 Beholde, he that kepeth Israel : wyll neither slumber nor sleepe.
5 God hym selfe is thy keper: God is thy defence vpon thy ryght hande.
6 The sunne shal not hurt thee by day: neither the moone by nyght.
7 God wyll preserue thee from all euill: he wyll preserue thy soule.
8 God wyll preserue thy goyng out and thy commyng in: from this tyme foorth for euermore.

Psalm 122

1 <A song of high degrees of Dauid.> I was glad when they sayde vnto me: we wyll go into the house of God.
2 Our feete shall stande in thy gates: O Hierusalem.
3 Hierusalem is builded: as a citie that is well vnited together in it selfe.
4 For the tribes do go vp thyther, euen the tribes of the Lorde: [which is] a testimonie vnto Israel for to prayse the name of God.
5 For there is ordeyned the seate for iudgement: euen the seate of the house of Dauid.
6 Pray for the peace of Hierusalem: they shall prosper that loue thee.
7 Peace be within thy walles: and plenteousnesse within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions sakes: I wyll wyshe peace [to be] within thee.
9 Yea because of the house of God our Lord: I wyll procure to do thee good.

Psalm 123

1 <A song of high degrees.> I lyft vp myne eyes vnto thee: who dwellest in heauen.
2 Beholde, as the eyes of seruauntes [loke] vnto the hande of their maisters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hande of her maistresse: euen so our eyes [wayte] vpon God our Lorde vntyll he haue mercie vpon vs.
3 Haue mercy vpon vs O God, haue mercy vpon vs: for we haue suffered enough of dispite.
4 Our soule is filled with the scornefull reprofe of the wealthy: and with the dispitefulnes of the proude.

Psalm 124

1 <A song of high degrees, of Dauid.> If God him selfe had not ben of our side Israel may now say:
2 if God him self had not ben of our side when men rose vp against vs,
3 Then they had swalowed vs vp quicke: when their wrath was so inflamed against vs.
4 Then the waters had drowned vs: the running streame had flowed ouer our soule.
5 Then the waters of the proude: had flowed ouer our soule.
6 But blessed be God, whiche hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth.
7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a byrde out of the snare of the fouler: the snare is broken, and we be escaped.
8 Our helpe is in the name of God: who hath made heauen and earth.

Psalm 125

1 <A song of high degrees.> They that put their trust in God [be] as the mount Sion : [whiche] may not be remoued [but] must stande fast for euer.
2 As for Hierusalem, hilles be rounde about it: and God is rounde about his people from this tyme foorth for euermore.
3 For the scepter of the vngodly shall not rest vpon the lot of the righteous: lest the righteous put their handes vnto wickednes.
4 Be beneficiall O God: vnto those that be good and vpright in their heart.
5 And such as do wander in their owne peruersnes, those God will cause to walke with the workers of wickednes: [so] peace [shalbe] vpon Israel .

Psalm 126

1 <A song of high degrees.> When God shall cause them of Sion that were led into captiuitie for to returne: we shalbe as men that dreamed.
2 Then shall our mouth be filled with a laughter: and our tongue with a ioyfull noyse. Then shall suche as be amongst the Heathen say: God hath brought great thinges to passe, that he myght do for them.
3 God hath brought great thinges to passe for vs: we be made merie.
4 Make vs O God that be led into captiuitie: for to returne as riuers into the south.
5 They that sowe in teares: shall reape in ioy.
6 He that goeth foorth on his way, and wepyng beareth pretious seede: shall doubtlesse returning, come againe with a ioyfull noyse, bryngyng his sheaues with hym.

Psalm 127

1 <A song of high degrees (made) for Solomon.> If GOD wyll not buylde the house, they labour in vayne that buylde it: if God kepe not the citie, the watchman waketh in vayne.
2 [Is] it is a vayne thing for you that ye make haste to ryse vp early, that ye make delayes to take rest, eatyng the bread of sorowes: euen so he geueth sleepe to his welbeloued.
3 Beholde, chyldren be the inheritage of God: and the fruite of the wombe is a rewarde.
4 Like as arrowes be in the hande of the strong: euen so are the chyldren of youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath filled his quiuer with them: they shall not be ashamed when they speake with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 128

1 <A song of high degrees.> He is blessed whatsoeuer he be that feareth God: walking in his waies.
2 For thou shalt eate the labours of thine handes: thou shalt be happy, and [all] shall go well with thee.
3 Thy wyfe shalbe as a fruitfull vine: vpon the sides of thyne house. Thy chyldren [shalbe] like oliue braunches: rounde about thy table.
4 Beholde, for thus shall the man be blessed: that feareth God.
5 God wyll blesse thee out of Sion: and thou shalt see Hierusalem in prosperitie all the dayes of thy lyfe.
6 Yea thou shalt see thy chylders chyldren: and peace vpon Israel .

Psalm 129

1 <A song of high degrees.> Israel may now say: they haue troubled me often from my youth vp.
2 They haue troubled me often from my youth vp: but they haue not preuayled against me.
3 The plowemen plowed vpon my backe: they made long forrowes.
4 But God who is iust: hath cut a peeces the snares of the vngodly.
5 All they that beare an euyll wyll to Sion: shalbe confounded, and be made to turne backe from it.
6 They shall be as the grasse growing vpon the house toppes: whiche withereth afore that it be shot foorth [to his growth.]
7 Whereof the mower fylleth not his hande: neither he that byndeth vp the sheaues his armes full.
8 And they which go by, say not so much as the blessing of God be vpon you: we blesse you in the name of God.

Psalm 130

1 <A song of high degrees.> Out of the deepe I haue called vnto thee O God: O Lorde heare my voyce.
2 Let thine eares be attentiue: vnto the voyce of my petition for grace.
3 If thou O God wylt marke what is done amisse: O Lorde who can abide it?
4 For there is pardon of sinne with thee: that thou mayest be feared.
5 I haue wayted for God, my soule haue wayted [for hym:] and I haue reposed my trust in his worde.
6 My soule [lifteth] more after God, then watchmen do after the morning: I say more then watchmen do after the mornyng.
7 Israel ought to trust in God, for there is mercy with God: and there is plenteousnes of redemption with him.
8 And he wyll redeeme Israel: from all his sinnes.

Psalm 131

1 <A song of high degrees (made) of Dauid.> O God I am not hygh mynded, I haue no proude lokes: I haue not vsed to walke in greater & waightier matters then I ought to do.
2 Nay I haue restrayned my soule, and kept it lowe like a chylde that is weaned from his mother: yea my soule is within me as a weaned chylde.
3 O Israel repose thou thy trust in God: from this time foorth for euermore.

Psalm 132

1 <A song of high degrees.> O God be mindfull of Dauid: with all his affliction.
2 Who swore vnto God: who made a vowe vnto the most mightie [Lorde] of Iacob.
3 [Saying] I wyll not enter into the tabernacle of my house: nor get vp into my bed.
4 I wyll not suffer myne eyes to slepe: nor myne eye liddes to slumber.
5 Untill I finde out a place for the temple of God : an habitation for the most mightie Lorde of Iacob.
6 Beholde, we hearde it to be at Ephratha: we founde it in the fieldes of the forest.
7 We wyll go into his tabernacle: and fall downe on our knees before his footestoole.
8 Aryse O God [for to come] into thy resting place: thou and the arke of thy strength.
9 Let thy priestes be clothed with righteousnes: and let thy saintes make a ioyfull noyse.
10 For thy seruaunt Dauids sake: turne not away [from] the face of thyne annoynted.
11 God hath sworne for a trueth vnto Dauid, and he wyll not go from it: I wyll place vpon thy throne some of the fruite of thy body.
12 If thy chyldren wyll kepe my couenaunt and my testimonies whiche I wyll teache them: their chyldren also shall sit vpon thy throne for euermore.
13 For God hath chosen [to be in] Sion: he had a desire that it might be an habitation for hym.
14 This [is sayeth he] my rest for euer: heare I wyll dwell, for I haue a desire to it.
15 I wyll aboundauntly powre my blessinges vpon her victuals: and I wyll satisfie her poore with bread.
16 I wyll clothe her priestes with saluation: and her saintes shall make an exceeding ioyfull noyse.
17 I will make there the horne of Dauid to bud vp: I wyll ordayne a light for mine annoynted.
18 I wyll clothe his enemies with shame: but his crowne shall florishe vppon hym selfe.

Psalm 133

1 <A song of high degrees (made) of Dauid.> Beholde howe good and howe pleasaunt a thing it is: that brethren dwel together in vnitie.
2 [It is] lyke vnto a pretious oyntment [powred] vpon the head, which runneth downe vpon the beard, euen vpon Aarons beard: which also runneth downe vpon the skyrtes of his garmentes.
3 [It is also] like vnto the deawe of Hermon: whiche falleth downe vpon the hyll of Sion. For God hath commaunded his blessing: [and] life euerlasting [to be] where is [suche concorde.]

Psalm 134

1 <A song of high degrees.> Beholde, blesse God all ye the seruauntes of God: who in the nyght tyme remayne in the house of God.
2 Lyft vp your holy handes: and blesse God.
3 God who made heauen and earth: blesse thee out of Sion.

Psalm 135

1 Prayse ye the Lorde, prayse ye the name of God: prayse it ye seruauntes of God.
2 Ye that stande in the house of God: in the courtes of the house of our Lord,
3 Prayse ye the Lorde, for God is gratious: sing psalmes vnto his name, for it is pleasaunt.
4 For the Lorde hath chosen Iacob vnto hym selfe: and Israel for his owne possession.
5 For I knowe that God is great: and that our Lorde is aboue all gods.
6 God doth whatsoeuer pleaseth hym in heauen and in earth: in the sea, and in all deepe places.
7 He causeth cloudes to ascende from the lowest part of the earth: he maketh it to lighten when it rayneth, he bringeth wyndes out of his treasure houses.
8 He smote the first borne of Egypt : aswell of beast as of man.
9 He sent tokens and wonders into the mydst of thee O Egypt: against Pharao and all his seruauntes.
10 He smote many nations: and slue mightie kinges.
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Bashan : and all the kingdomes of Chanaan.
12 And he gaue their lande for an inheritaunce: euen for an heritaunce to Israel his people.
13 Thy name O God endureth for euer: there wil be a remembraunce of thee O God, from one generation to another.
14 For God wyll iudge his people: and he will be pacified [beyng displeased] with his seruauntes.
15 As for the idols of the Heathen they are but siluer and golde: the worke of mens handes.
16 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes but they see not.
17 They haue eares and they heare not: yea there is no breath in their mouth.
18 They that make them are lyke vnto them: [and] euery one that putteth his trust in them.
19 Blesse God ye the house of Israel : blesse God ye the house of Aaron.
20 Blesse God ye the house of Leui: ye that feare God, blesse God.
21 Blessed be God out of Sion: who dwelleth at Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde.

19 Sihon kyng of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for euer.
20 And Og the kyng of Bashan : for his mercy endureth for euer.
21 And he gaue away their lande for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for euer.
22 For an heritage vnto Israel his seruaunt: for his mercy endureth for euer.
23 Who remembred vs when we were brought lowe: for his mercy endureth for euer.
24 And he deliuered vs from our aduersaries: for his mercy endureth for euer.
25 Who geueth foode vnto all creatures: for his mercy endureth for euer.
26 Confesse you [it] vnto the Lord of heauen: for his mercy endureth for euer.

Psalm 137

1 By the waters of Babylon we sat downe there: also we wept when we remembred Sion.
2 We hanged our harpes on the Salon trees: in the mydst of it.
3 For there they that led vs away captiue required of vs some matter of a song: and [for] our waylynges myrth, [saying] sing vs one of the songes of Sion.
4 [He aunswered] howe can we sing one of the songes of God: in another lande besides our owne?
5 If I forget thee O Hierusalem: let my right hande forget [her cunning.]
6 Let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth, if I do not remember thee: yea if I preferre not thee O Hierusalem aboue my most myrth.
7 Remember the chyldren of Edom in the day of Hierusalem: they sayde, downe with it, downe with it, euen to the grounde.
8 O daughter of Babylon who must lye wasted: happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast serued vs.
9 Blessed shall he be: that taketh & throweth thy litle children against the stone.

Psalm 138

1 <Of Dauid.> I wyll geue thankes vnto thee O God with my whole heart: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thee before the gods.
2 I wyll make my lowe obeysaunce towarde thy holy temple: and I wyll prayse thy holy name in respect of thy louing kindnesse and trueth. For thou hast magnified thy name: and thy worde aboue all thinges.
3 In the day [of myne aduersitie] I called vpon thee, and thou heardest me: thou enduedst my soule more and more with strength.
4 All the kinges of the earth will prayse thee O God: for they haue hearde the wordes of thy mouth.
5 Yea they wyll sing of the wayes of God: for great is the glory of God.
6 For though God be on high: yet he will haue respect vnto the lowly, and he wyll knowe the proude a farre of.
7 If I shall walke in the midst of trouble, thou wylt make me to liue: thou wylt stretche foorth thyne hande vpon the furiousnes of mine enemies, and thy right hande shall saue me.
8 God wyll finishe that he hath begun by me: O God thy louing kindnesse endureth for euer, thou wylt not forsake the workes of thyne owne handes.

Psalm 139

1 <To the chiefe musition, a psalme of Dauid.> O God thou hast searched me to the quicke: and thou hast knowen me.
2 Thou knowest my downe sitting & myne vprising: thou vnderstandest my thoughtes long before they be.
3 Thou compassest about my path, and my iourney into all coastes: and thou vsest all my wayes.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue: but beholde thou O Lorde knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast fashioned me behinde and before: and layde thyne hande vpon me.
6 The knowledge that [thou hast] of me is marueylous: it is so high that I can not [attayne] vnto it.
7 Whyther can I go from thy spirite: or whyther can I flee away from thy face?
8 If I ascende vp into heauen, thou art there: if I lay me downe in hell, thou art there also.
9 If I take the wynges of the morning: and [go to] dwell in the vttermost part of the sea.
10 Euen there also thy hande shall leade me: and thy right hande shall holde me.
11 And yf I say peraduenture the darknesse shall couer me: and the night shalbe day for me,
12 Truely the darknesse shall not darken any thing from thee, and the night shalbe as lyghtsome as the day: darknesse and lyght [to thee] are both a lyke.
13 For thou hast my reynes in thy possession: thou didst couer me in my mothers wombe.
14 I wyll confesse it vnto thee, for that thy [doynges] are to be dreaded, I am made after a marueylous sort: thy workes be marueylous, and that my soule knoweth ryght well.
15 The substaunce of my [body] was not hyd from thee: when I was made in secrete and fashioned with distinct members in my mothers wombe.
16 Thyne eyes dyd see me when I was most imperfect: and in thy booke were written euery day of them [wherin the partes of my body] were shaped, and no one of them were knowen vnto thee.
17 Howe pretious be thy cogitations towardes me O God? howe greatly be the summe of them increased?
18 I go about to count them, I fynde that they are mo in number then the sande: and yet whyle I am wakyng I am styll with thee.
19 For truely thou wylt slay O Lord the wicked man: and the blood thirstie men [to whom I euer say] depart ye from me.
20 Who do speake vnto thee in guilefull maner: [thou art O God] exalted in vayne to thyne enemies.
21 Do not I hate them O God that hate thee? and am not I greeued with those that rise vp agaynst thee?
22 Yea I hate them from the bottome of myne heart: euen as though they were myne enemies.
23 Searche me to the quicke O Lorde, and knowe thou myne heart: proue me and knowe thou my thoughtes.
24 And loke well yf there be any way of peruersnesse in me: and [then] leade me in the way of the worlde.

Psalm 140

1 <To the chiefe musition, a Psalme of Dauid.> Delyuer me O God from the euyll man: and preserue me from the outragious man.
2 Who in heart imagine mischiefes: and set forwarde to warre euery day.
3 They haue sharpened their tongue lyke a serpent: Adders poyson is vnder their lippes. Selah.
4 Kepe me O God from the handes of the vngodly: preserue me from the outragious man, who haue deuised to thrust my feete [from me.]
5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spread a net abroade with coardes in the high wayes: they haue set trappes for me. Selah.
6 I haue sayde vnto God, thou art my Lorde: heare the voyce of my prayers O God.
7 O Lorde God the strength of my saluation: thou hast couered my head in the day of battayle.
8 Graunt not vnto the vngodly [his] desires O God: bryng not to passe his mischeuous imagination [lest] they shoulde be made to proude. Selah.
9 Let the labour of his owne lippe couer him: [who is] head of them that compasse me about.
10 Let hotte coales be burnyng vpon them: he wyll cast them downe into the fire into deepe pittes, that they may neuer rise vp agayne.
11 A man full of tongue can not prosper vpon the earth: euyll shall hunt the outragious person to ouerthrowe him.
12 I am sure that God wyll dispatche the cause of the afflicted: and he wyll geue iudgement for the needy.
13 Truely the ryghteous wyll confesse it vnto thy name: they that deale vprightlye shall dwell before thy face.

Psalm 141

1 <A Psalme of Dauid.> O God I call vpon thee, haste thee vnto me: geue eare vnto my voyce whylest I crye vnto thee.
2 Let my prayer be directed before thy face [as] an incense: let the liftyng vp of mine handes [be] an euenyng sacrifice.
3 Set a watch O God before my mouth: and kepe the doore of my lippes.
4 Inclyne not myne heart to any euyll thyng, wherby I myght commit any vngodly act with men that be workers of iniquitie: and let me not eate of their delicates.
5 I wishe that the ryghteous woulde smite me and reproue me: for it is louing kyndnesse. But let not pretious baulmes breake mine head: for as yet euen my prayer is agaynst their wickednesse.
6 Let their iudges be thrust downe headlong from a rocke: then they wyll heare my wordes, for they be sweete.
7 Our bones lye scattered vpon the graues mouth: lyke as when one breaketh and heweth [wood] vpon the earth.
8 For mine eyes loke vnto thee O God the Lorde: in thee is my trust, cast not my soule out [of me.]
9 Kepe me from the snare which they haue layde foorth for me: and from the trappes of them that be workers of iniquitie.
10 Let the vngodly fall together into their owne nettes: but let me in the meane season alwayes escape [them.]

Psalm 142

1 <The wise instruction of Dauid, a prayer when he was in the caue.> I cryed vnto God with my voyce: euen vnto God I dyd make my supplication.
2 I powred out before his face my cogitations: and I made a declaration of my trouble before his face.
3 When my spirite was ouerwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked they haue priuily layde a snare for me.
4 When I loked vpon my ryght hande and sawe [rounde about me] there was no man that woulde knowe me: I had no place to flee vnto, and no man cared for my soule.
5 I cryed vnto thee O God, and sayde: thou art my hope and my portion in the lande of the lyuyng.
6 Consider my complaynt, for I am brought very lowe: deliuer me from my persecutours, for they are to strong for me.
7 Bryng my soule out of prison, that I may prayse thy name: the ryghteous shal compasse me rounde about, because thou hast [thus] rewarded me.

Psalm 143

1 <A Psalme of Dauid.> Heare my prayer O God, geue eare vnto my desire: hearken vnto me for thy trueth sake, for thy ryghteousnesse sake.
2 And enter not into iudgement with thy seruaunt: for in thy syght no man lyuyng can be iustified.
3 For the enemie hath persecuted my soule, he hath smitten my lyfe downe to the grounde: he hath layde me in darknesse as men that haue ben long dead.
4 And my spirite is ouerwhelmed within me: and my heart is desolate in the midst of me.
5 I call to remembraunce the tyme long past: I muse vpon euery act of thine, I exercise my study on the worke of thy handes.
6 I stretche foorth myne handes vnto thee: my soule as a thirstie lande [gaspeth] vnto thee. Selah.
7 Make speede, hearken vnto me O God, my spirite waxeth faynt: hyde not thy face from me, for I am lyke vnto them that go downe into the pyt.
8 Cause me to heare of thy louyng kindnesse betymes in the mornyng: for in thee is my trust. Make me to knowe the way that I shoulde walke in: for I lyft vp my soule vnto thee.
9 Delyuer me O God from myne enemies: I hyde my selfe with thee.
10 Teache me to do the thyng that pleaseth thee, for thou art my Lorde: let thy good spirite leade me foorth vnto the lande of ryghteousnesse.
11 For thy names sake O God thou wilt cause me to lyue: and for thy righteousnesse sake thou wilt bryng my soule out of trouble.
12 And of thy goodnesse thou wylt restrayne myne enemies: and destroy all them that be aduersaries to my soule, for I am thy seruaunt.

Psalm 144

1 <Of Dauid.> Blessed be God my rocke: who teacheth my handes to warre, and my fingers to fyght.
2 My holynesse and my fortresse, my refuge, and my only deliuerer: my buckler, in hym I haue put my trust, who subdueth my people vnder me.
3 O God, what is man that thou doest knowe hym? what is the sonne of man that thou doest thynke of hym?
4 Man is lyke a thyng of naught: his dayes be lyke a shadowe that passeth away.
5 Bowe thy heauens O God and come downe: touche the mountaynes and they shall smoke.
6 Cast out terrible lightninges and feare them: shoote out thyne arrowes and consume them.
7 Sende downe thine hand from aboue: deliuer me and take me out of the great waters, from the hande of the children of an other deuotion then I am.
8 Whose mouth vttereth vanitie: and their ryght hande is a ryght hande of falshood.
9 O Lorde I wyll syng a newe song vnto thee: and I wyll syng psalmes vnto thee vpon a Lute, [and vpon] an instrument of ten strynges.
10 Who geueth victorie vnto kynges: who redeemeth Dauid his seruaunt from peryll of the sworde.
11 Redeeme me and deliuer me from the hande of the children of an other deuotion then I am: whose mouth vttereth vanitie, and their ryght hande is a ryght hande of falshood.
12 That our sonnes may growe vp in their youth as young plantes: that our daughters may be as corners [stones] grauen after the fashion as a palace is.
13 That the corners of our houses may be fylled, yeeldyng foorth all maner of stoore: that our cattell may bring foorth thousandes, [yea] ten thousandes in our streates.
14 That our oxen may be strong [to labour] that there be no decay: no leadyng into captiuitie, and no complaynyng in our streates.
15 Happy are the people that be in such a case: blessed is the people who haue God for their Lorde.

Psalm 145

1 <The prayse of Dauid.> I will magnifie thee O Lord my king: and I wyll blesse thy name for euer and euer.
2 I wyll blesse thee euery day: and I wyll prayse thy name for euer and euer.
3 Great is God and most worthy to be praysed: and his greatnesse can not be searched out.
4 One generation shal praise thy workes vnto another: and they shall declare thy mightie power.
5 I wyll set foorth in wordes the glorious maiestie of thy excellentnesse: and thy wonderous workes.
6 I wyll also declare thy greatnesse: so that men shall speake of the force of thy terrible actes.
7 They shall vtter out of their mouth a memoriall of thyne aboundaunt kyndnesse: and they shall syng of thy ryghteousnesse.
8 God is gratious and mercifull: loth to be angry, and great in louing kindnesse.
9 God is good vnto euery man: and his mercie is ouer all his workes.
10 All thy workes shall confesse it vnto thee O God: and thy saintes shall blesse thee.
11 They shal shewe the glorie of thy kingdome: and talke of thy power.
12 That they may make knowen to the children of men his manifolde power: & the glorious maiestie of his kingdome.
13 Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome: and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.
14 God vpholdeth all such as fall: and lyfteth vp all those that be bowyng downewarde.
15 The eyes of all wayte vpon thee: and thou geuest them their meate in due season.
16 Thou openest thyne hande: and thou satisfiest the desire of euery thing liuing.
17 God is righteous in all his wayes: and holy in all his workes.
18 God is nye vnto all them that call vpon hym: vnto all such as call vpon hym in trueth.
19 He wyll fulfyll the desire of them that feare hym: he will also heare their crye, and he wyll saue them.
20 God preserueth all those that loue him: but he wyll bring to nothyng such as be vngodly.
21 My mouth shall speake the prayse of God: and all fleshe shall blesse his holy name for euer and euer.

Psalm 146

1 Prayse ye the Lord, prayse thou God O my soule, whylest I lyue I wyll prayse God: I wyll syng psalmes vnto my Lorde so long as I shalbe.
2 Put not your trust in princes [nor] in the sonne of man: in whom there is no saluation.
3 His spirite shall depart out of hym, he shall turne agayne to his earth: at that day all his thoughtes shall perishe.
4 Blessed is he vnto whom the God of Iacob is an ayde: his trust is in God his Lorde.
5 Who made heauen and earth, the sea and all that therin is: who mainteyneth the trueth for euer.
6 Who executeth iudgement for those that are oppressed with wrong: who geueth foode to the hungry.
7 God looseth those that be bounde: God geueth syght to the blynde.
8 God rayseth them vp that are falling: God loueth the ryghteous.
9 God taketh strangers into his custodie, he releeueth the fatherlesse and the widdowe: as for the way of the vngodlye he turneth it vpsyde downe.
10 God thy Lorde shall raigne O Sion, to the worldes ende: throughout all generations. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Psalm 147

1 Prayse ye the Lorde, for it is a good thyng: sing psalmes vnto our Lorde, for it is a pleasaunt thing, [his] praise is to be desired.
2 God buildeth vp Hierusalem: he wyll gather together the Israelites that were banished.
3 He healeth those that are broken in heart: he wrappeth vp their sorowes.
4 He counteth the number of the starres: he geueth vnto them all names.
5 Great is our Lorde, and great is his power: his vnderstandyng is infinite.
6 God setteth vp the meeke: he bringeth the vngodly downe to the grounde.
7 Syng ye vnto God with a confession: syng psalmes vpon the Harpe vnto our Lorde.
8 Who couereth the heauen with cloudes: who prepareth rayne for the earth, who maketh grasse to growe vppon the mountaynes.
9 He geueth vnto cattell their foode: [euen] vnto Rauens which call for it.
10 He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse: he delighteth not in the legges of a man.
11 God delyghteth in them that feare him: [and] in them that put their trust in his mercie.
12 Prayse God O Hierusalem: prayse thy Lorde O Sion.
13 For he maketh fast the barres of thy gates: he blesseth thy children within thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders: he fylleth thee with good corne.
15 He sendeth foorth his commaundement vpon the earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 He geueth snowe [so whyte] as wooll: he scattereth the hoare frost like asshes.
17 He casteth foorth his yse lyke fragmentes: who is able to abide his frost?
18 He sendeth foorth his worde and melteth them: he bloweth with his winde, and the waters flowe.
19 He declareth his worde vnto Iacob: his statutes & ordinaunces vnto Israel .
20 He hath not dealt so with euery nation: neither haue they the knowledge of his iudgementes. Prayse ye the Lorde.
