Coeli enarrant. Psal.xix.
THe heauens declare the glorie of God: * and the firmament sheweth his handy worke.
Oue day telleth another: and one night certifieth another.
There is neither speech nor lan∣guage: but their voyces are heard among them.
Their sound is gone out into all landes: and their wordes into the endes of the world.
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne: which com∣meth foorth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioy∣ceth as a Gyant to runne his course.
It goeth forth from the vttermost part of the heauen, and runneth about vnto the end of it againe: and there is nothing hid from the heate thereof.
The Law of the Lord is an vndefiled Lawe, conuerting Page [unnumbered] the soule: the testimonie of the Lord is sure, and giueth wise∣dome vnto the simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right, and reioyce the heart: the commandement of the Lord is pure, and giueth light vn∣to the eyes.
The feare of the Lorde is cleane, and endureth for euer: the iudgements of the Lorde are true, and righteous alto∣gether.
More to be desired are they then gold, yea, then much fine gold: sweeter also then hony and the hony combe.
Moreouer, by them is thy seruant taught: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Who can tell how oft he offendeth: O clense thou me from my secret faults.
Keepe thy seruaunt also from presumptutous sinnes, lest they get the dominion ouer me: so shall I be vndefiled, and innocent from the great offence.
Let the wordes of my mouth, and the mediitation of my heart: be alway acceptable in thy sight.
O Lord: my strength, and my redeemer.
Exaudiat te Deus. Psal. xx.
The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of the God of Iacob defend thee.
Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie: and strength thee out of Sion.
Remember all thy offerings: and accept thy burnt sacri∣fice.
Graunt thee thy hearts desire: and fulfill all thy minde.
We will reioyce in thy saluation, and triumph in the name of the Lorde our God: the Lorde perfourme all thy petiti∣ons.
Nowe knowe I that the Lord helpeth his anoynted, and will heare him from his holy heauen: euen with the whole∣some strength of his right hand.
Some put their trust in charets, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought downe and fallen: but we are risen, and stand vpright.
Page [unnumbered] Saue Lord, and heare vs, O King of heauen: when wee call vpon thee.
Domine in virtute. Psal.xxj.
The king shalt reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: exceeding glad shall hee bee of thy saluation.
Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire: and hast not deni∣ed him the request of his lips.
For thou shalt preuent him with the blessings of goodnes: and shalt set a crowne of pure golde vpon his head.
He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life: euen for euer and euer.
His honour in great is thy saluation: glory and great wor∣ship shalt thou lay vpon him.
For thou shalt giue him euerlasting felicitie: and make him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.
And why? because the King putteth his trust in the Lord: and in the mercie of the most highest he shall not miscarie.
All thine enemies shal feele thine hand: thy right hand shal finde out them that hate thee.
Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thy wrath: the Lord shal destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them.
Their friute shalt thou roote out of the earth: and their seede from among the children of men.
For they intended mischiefe against thee: and imagined such a deuice as they are not able to performe.
Therefore shalt thou put them to flight: and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against the face of them.
Be thou exalted Lord in thine owne strength: so will wee sing and prayse thy power.
Deus, Deus meus. Psal.xxij.
MY God, * my God, (looke vpon mee) why hast thou forsaken mee: and art so farre from my health, and from the words of my complaint?
O my God, I cty in the day time, but thou hearest not: and in the night season also I take no rest.
And thou continuest holy: O thou worship of Israel.
Page [unnumbered]Our fathers hoped in thee: they trusted in thee, and thou diddest deliuer them.
They called vpon thee, and were holpen: they put their trust in thee, and were not confounded.
But as for me, I am a worme, and no man: a very scorne of men, and the outceast of the people.
All they that see mee, laugh me to scorne: they shoote out their lips, and shake their head, saying.
He trusted in God, that he would deliuer him: let him deli∣uer him, if he will haue him.
But thou art he that tooke me out of my mothers wombe: thou wast my hope when I hanged yet vpon my mothers breastes.
I haue bene left vnto thee euer since I was borne: thou art my God, euen from my mothers wombe.
O goe not fro me, for trouble is hard at hand: and there is none to helpe me.
Many oxen are come about me: fat Bulles of Basan close me in on euery side.
They gape vpon me with their mouthes: as it were a ram∣ping and roaring Lyon.
I am powred out like water, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart also in the middest of my body is euen like melting waxe.
My strength is dried vp like a potstheard: and my tongue cleaueth to my gummes: and thou shalt bring me into the dust of death.
For (many) dogs are come about me: and the counsel of the wicked layeth siege against me.
They pearsed my handes, and my feete, I may tell all my bones: they stand staring and looking vpon me.
They part my garments among them: and cast lots vpon my vesture.
But be thou not farre fromme, O Lord: thou art my sur∣tour, hast thee to the helpe me.
Deliuer my soule from the sworde: my darling from the power of the dog.
Saue me from the Lyons mouth: thou hast heard mee Page [unnumbered] also from among the hornes of the vnicornes.
I will declare thy name vnto my brethren: in the middest of the congregation will I prayse thee.
O prayse the Lorde ye that feare him: magnifie him allye of the seede of Iacob, and feare him all ye seede of Israel.
For he hath not despised nor abhored the low estate of the poore, he hath not hid his face from him: but when he called vnto him, he heard him.
My prayse is of thee in the great congregation: my vowes will I performe in the sight of them that feare him.
The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seekee after the Lord, shall prayse him, your heart shall liue for euer.
All the euds of the world shall remember themselues, and be turned vnto the Lorde: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before him.
For the kingdome is the Lordes: and he is the gouernour among the people.
All such as be fat vpon earth: haue eaten and worshipped.
All they that go down into the dust shal kneele before hin: and no man hath quickened his owne soule.
My seede shall serue him: they shall bee counted vnto the Lord for a generation.
They shall come, and the heauens shall declare his righte∣ousnes: vnto a people that shal be borne, whom the Lorde hath made.
Dominus regit me. Psal. xxiij
The Lorde is my shepheard: therefore can I lacke no∣thing.
He shall feede me in a grcene pasture: & lead mee foorth besides the waters of comfort.
He shall conuert my soule: and bring me forth in the paths of righteousnesse for his names sake.
Yea though I walke thorow the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staffe comfort me.
Thou shalt prepare a table before mee against them that trouble me: thou hast anoynted my head with oyle, and my cup shall be full.
Page [unnumbered]But thy louing kindnesse and mercie shal follow me all the dayes of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lorde for euer.
Domini est terra. Psal. xxiiij
THe earth is the Lords, * and all that therein is: the compasse of the world, and they that dwel therein.
For he hath founded it vpon the seas: and prepared it vpon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: or who shall rife vp in his holy place?
Euen he that hath cleaue hands, and a pure heart: and that hath not list vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne to deceiue his neighbour.
He shall receinere the blessing from the Lord: and rightcous∣nesse from the God of his saluation.
This is the generation of them that seeke him: cucn of them that seeke thy face, O Iacob.
Lift vp your heads, O ye gates, and he ye lift vp ye euerla∣sting doores: and the King of glory shall come ill.
Who is the king of glore: it is the Lorde strong and migh∣tie, euen the Lord mightie in battaile.
Lift vp yonr heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift vp ye euerla∣sting doores: and the king of glorie shall come in.
Who is the king of glory: euen the Lord of hostes, he is the king of glory.
