¶ The▪ lxvii{is}. Psalme.
¶ To the chaunter a Psalme and songe of Dauid.
LEt God aryse, and let his enemyes be scattered: let them also that hate him, [unspec A] flye fom his face. Lyke as the smoke va∣nysheth, so shalte thou dryue them awaye: and lyke as waxe melteth at the fyre, so let the vngodly perishe frō the precēre of God.
But let the ryghteous be glad & reioyse in the syght of God: let them also be mery & ioyful. Oh syng vnto God, & syng prayses vnto his name: magnifye hym that rydeth vpon the heauens, as it were vpon a horse: prayse ye him ☞ īhys name ye and reioyse before hym. He is a father of the father∣lesse, and defendeth the cause of wydowes: euen God in his holy habitacion. He is the [unspec B] God that maketh men to be of one minde in a house he bryngeth the prisoners out of captiuite, but letteth the rennagates conty nue in scarcenesse. O God, when thou wentest for the before the people, when thou wētest thorowe the wyldernesse. Sela. The earthe shoke, and the heauens drop∣ped at the presence of God, euen as Sinai also was moued at y• presēce of God, which is the God of Israel. Thou O God sen∣dedst a gracyous rayne vpon thyne enheri¦taunce, and refresshedyst it, whē it was we∣rye. Thy congregacyon shal dwell ther∣in: For thou (O God) haste of thy goodnesse [unspec C] prepared for the poore. The lorde gaue the worde: ☞ greate, was the company of the preachers. Kynges with theyr armyes dyd flye, and were discomfited: & they of the housholde deuyded the spoyle. ☞ Though ye haue lyen among y• pottes, yet shall ye be as y• wynges of a doue that is couered with syluer wynges, and hyr fethers lyke golde. When the almyghtye scattred kynges for their sake, then were they as whyte as snow in zalmon. As the hyll of Basan so is Godys hyll: euen a hye hyll, as the hyll of Basan▪ Why hoppe ye so ☞ ye hye hylles? This is Godys hyl in the which it pleseth [unspec D] him to dwell: yee the Lorde wyl abyde in it for euer. The charettes of God are twen∣tye thousande, euen thousandes of angels, and the Lorde is amonge them as in the ho¦ly place of Sinai. Thou art gone by an hye, thou hast led captiuyte captyue, and re¦ceaued gyftes for men: Yee euen for thyne enemyes, that the Lorde God myght dwell amōge them. Praysed be the Lorde dayly, euen the God whiche helpeth vs, & poureth his benefytes vpon vs. Sela. He is oure God, euē the God of whom commeth salua cyon: God is the Lorde by whom we escape death. God shall woūde the heade of hys enemies and the heary scalpe of such one as goth on styll ī his wyckednes. The Lorde hath sayde: I wyll bryng my people agayn as I dyd from Basan: myne owne wyll I brynge agayne as I dyd somtyme from the depe of the see. That thy fote may be dyp∣ped [unspec E] in the bloud of thyne enemyes, and that the tonge of thy dogges may be red thorow the same. It is well sene, O God, how y• goest, how thou my God and kyng goest in the Sanctuary. The singers go before, the mynstrels folowe after: in the myddes are the damosels playeng wt the tymbrels. Geue thankes O Israel, vnto God y• Lord in the congregacions from the grounde of the hart. There is lytle Ben Iamin theyr ruler: and the Prynces of Iuda, their coun¦cell: the Prices of zabulon and the Prynces of Nephthali. Thy God hathe sent for the strength for the, stablysh the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in vs. From thy tē∣ple in Ierusalem, cometh forth thy strēgth, and kynges shall bryng presentes vnto the ☞ whā the company of the speare men and multytude of y• mighty are scatred abrode a∣mong [unspec F] the bestes of y• people (so that they hū¦bly bring peces of syluer) and whan he hath scatred y• people that delyte in warre. Then shall the Prynces come out of Egypte, the Moryās land shal soone stretch out her hā∣des vnto God. Synge vnto god, O ye kyngdomes of y• erth: O synge prayses vn∣to the Lorde. Sela. Which sytteth in the heauens ouer al from the begynnynge: Lo, he doth sende out hys voyce, yee and that a mightye voyce. Ascrybe ye the power vn∣to god, ouer Israel: his worshippe & stregth is in the cloudes. O God, wonderful art thou in thy holy places: euen the God of Is¦raell, he geue the strengthe and power vnto his people. Blessed be God.
