Moneth. The j. day.

The Psalmes of Dauid.

Beatus vir qui non abijt. Psal.j.

BLessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsaile of the vn∣godly, * 1.1 nor stand in the way of sin∣ners: and hath not sit in the seate of the scornefull.

But his delight is in the lawe of the Lorde: and in his law will he exercise himselfe day and night.

And he shal be like a tree planted by the water side: that will bring toorth his fruit in due season.

His lease also shalt not wither: and looke whatsoeuer hee doeth, it shalt prosper.

As for the vngodly it is not so with them: but they are like the chaffe which the winmde scattereth away from the face of earth.

Therefore the vngodly shalt not bee able to stande in the iudgement: neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: and the way of the vngodly shalt perish.

Quare fremuerunt gentes? Psal. ij.

Why doe the heathen so furiously rage together: & why doe the people imagine vaine thing:

The kings of the earth stand vp, and the rulers take counsaile together: against the Lord, & against his anointed.

Let vs breake their bondes asuuder: and cast away their tordes from vs.

He that dwelleth in heauen shalt laugh them to scorne: the Lord shalt haue them in derision.

Then shalt he speake vnto them in his wrath: and vexe them in his fore displeasure.

Yet haue I set my king: vpon my holy hill of Sion.

I will preach the lawe where of the Lorde hath sayd vn∣to

me: thou art my sonne, this day haue I begotten thee.

Desire of mee, and I shalt giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance: and the vttermost parts of the earth for thy pos∣session.

Thou shalt bruise them with a rodde of yron: and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.

Be wise now therefore, Dye kings: be learned ye that are iudges of the earth.

Serue the Lord in feare: and reioyce vnto him with reue∣rence.

Kisse the Some lest he be angry, and so ye penrish from the right way: if his wrath be kindled (yea but a little) blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Domine quid? Psal.iij.

LOrd how are they increased that trouble mee: many are they that rise against me.

Many one there be that say of my soule: there is no help for him in his God.

But thou, O Lord, art my defender: thou art my wor∣ship, and the lifter vp of my head.

I did call vpon the Lord with my voice: and hee heard me out of his holy hill.

I layd mee downe and slept, and rose vp agaie: for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid for ten thousands of people: that haue set themselues against me round about.

Vp Lord, and helpe mee, O my God: for thou smitest all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone, thou hast broken the teeth of the vngodly.

Saluation belongeth vnto the Lorde: and the blessing is vpon the people.

Cum inuocarem, Psal.iiij.

Heare me When I call, O God of my righteousnesse: for thou hast set me at libertie When I was in trouble, haue mercie vpon me, and heacken vnto my prayer.

O yee sonnes of men, how long Will yee blaspheme mine honour: and haue such pleasure in vanitie, and seeke after leasing:

Know this also, that the Lorde hath thosen to himselfe the man that is godly: When I call vpon the Lorde, he will heare me.

Stand mawe and sinne not: commune with your owne heart, and in your chamber, and be still.

Offer the sacrifice righteousnesse: and put your trust in the Lord.

There be many that say: who will shew vs any good:

Lord list thou vp: the light of thy countenance vpon vs.

Thou hast put gladenesse in my heart: since the time that their corne and wine and oyle increased.

I will lay mee downe in peace, and take my rest: for it is thou Lord onely that makest me dwell in safetie.

Verba mea auribus. Psal.5.

POnder my Words, O Lord: consider my meditation.

O hearken thou vnto the voice of my calling, my king and my God: for vnto thee will I make my prayer.

My voice shalt thou heare betimes, O Lord: earely in the morning wil I direct my prayer vnto thee, and will looke vp.

For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickednesse: neither shalt any euill dwell with thee.

Such as be foolish shal not stand in thy sight: for thou ha∣test all them that worke vanitie.

Thou shalt destroy them that speake leasing: the Lorde will abhorxe both the blood thirstie and deceitfull man.

But as for me, I will come into thy house, euen vpon the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship to∣ward thy holy Temple.

Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousinesse, because of mine enemies: make thy way plame before my face.

For there is no faithfulnesse in his mouth: their inwarde parts are very wickednesse.

Their throate is an open sepulchre: they flatter with their tongue.

Destroy thou them, O God, let them perish through their owne imaginations: cast them out in the multitude of their

vngodlinesese, for they haue rebelled against thee.

And let all them that put their trust in thee, reioyce: they shalt euer be giuing of thankes, because thou defendest them, they that loue thy Name shalt be Ioyfull in thee.

For thou Lorde wilt giue thy blessing vnto the righteous: and with thy fauourable kindnesse wilt thou defend him, as with a shield.

Domine ne in furore. Psal. vj.

O Lorde rebuke mee not in thine in∣dignation: * 1.2 neither chasten mee in thy displeasure.

Have mercy vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lorde heale me, for my bones are vexcd.

My soule is also fore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou pu∣nish me:

Turne thee, O Lord, and deli∣uer my soule: Oh saue me for thy mercies sake.

For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will giue thee thankes in the pit:

I am wearie of my groning, euery night Wash I my ved: and water my couch with my teares.

My beautie is gone for very trouble: and worne away be∣cause of all mine enemies.

Away from mee all ye that worke vanitie: for the Lorde hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

All mine enemies shalt be confonnded and sore vexed: they shalt be turned backe and put to shame suddenly.

Domine Deus meus. Psal. vij.

O Lorde my God, in thee haue I put my trust: saue mee from all them that petsecute me, and deliuer: me.

Least he deuoure my soulce like a lion, and teare it in pieces: While there is none to helpe.

O Lorde my God, if I haue done any such thing: or if

there be any wickednesse in my hands.

If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that dealt friendly with mee: yea, I haue deliuered him that Without any cause is mine enemie.

Then let mine enemie persecute my soule, and take mee: yea, let him tread my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust.

Stand vp, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe: be∣cause of the indignation of mine enemies, arise vp for mee in the iudgement that thou hast commanded.

And so shalt the congregation of the people come about thee: for their sakes therefore lift vp thy selfe againe.

The Lord shalt iudge the people, giue sentence with me, O Lord: according to my righteousuesse, and according to the innocencie that is in me.

O let the wickednesse of the vngodly come to an end: but guide thou the iust.

For the righteous God: trieth the very hearts and reines.

My helpe commeth of God: which preseructh them that are true of heart.

God is a righteous iudge, strong and patient: and God is prouoked cuery day.

If a man will not turne, he will whet his sword: he hath bent his bow, and made it readie.

He hath prepared for him the instruments of death: he or∣deineth his arrowes against the persecuters.

Behold, he trauaileth with inischiefe: hee hath conceiued sorow, and brought foorth vngodlinesse.

He hath grauen and digged vp a pit: and is fallen himselfe into the destruction that he made for other.

For his trauaile shalt come vpon his owne head: and his wickednes shalt fall on his owne pate.

I will giue thanks vnto the Lord, according to his righte∣ousnesse: and will praise the name of the Lord the most high.

Domine Dominus. Psal. viij.

O Lord our gouernour, how excellent is thy Name in all the world: thou that hast set thy glory aboue y^e heauens.

Out of the mouth of very babes & sucklings hast thou

ordeined strength, because of thine enemies: that thou migh∣test still the enemie and the auenger.

For thou will consider the heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers: the Moone and the Starres which thou hast ordei∣ned.

What is man that thou art mindfull of him: and the sonne of man that thou visitest him:

Thou madest him lower then the Angels: to crowne him with glory and workship.

Thou makest him to haue dominion of the workes of thy handes: and thou hast put all things in subiection vnder his feete.

All sheepe and oxen: yea and the beasts of the field.

The foules of the ayre, and the fishes of the sea: and what∣soeuer walketh through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our gouernour: how excellent is thy Name in all the world:

Confitebor tibi, Psal. ix.

I Will giue thankes vnto thee, * 1.3 O Lorde, with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marucellous workes.

I will bee glad and reioyce in thee: yea, my songs wil I make of thy Name, O thou most Highest.

While mine enemies are driuen backe: they shalt fall and perish at thy presence.

For thou hast maintained my right, and my cause: thou art set in the throne that iudgest right.

Thou hast rebuked the Heathen, and destroyed the vn∣godly: thou hast put out their Name for euer and euer.

O thou enemie, destructions are come to a perpetuall end: euen as the cities which thou hast destroyed, their memoriall is perished with them.

But the Lord shalt endure for euer: he hath also prepared

his seate for iudgement.

For hee shalt iudge the World in righteousnesse: and mini∣ster true iudgement vnto the people.

The Lord also will be a defence for the oppressed: euen a refuge in due time of trouble.

And they that know thy name, will put their trust in thee: for thou Lord hast neuer failed them that seeke thee.

O praise the Lord which dwelleth in Sion: shew the peo∣ple of his doings.

For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembreth them: and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.

Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, consider the trouble which I suffer of them that hate me: thou that liftest nice vp from the gates of death.

That I may shew all thy praises within the portes of the daughter of Sion: I will reioyce in thy saluation.

The heathen are sunke downe in the pit that they made: in the same net which they hid priuily, is their foot taken.

The Lorde is knowen to execute iudgement: the vngodly is trapped in the worke of his owne hands.

The wicked shalt bee turned into hell: and all the people that forget God.

For the poore shalt not alway be forgotten: the patient abi∣ding of the meeke shalt not perish for euer.

Up Lorde, and let not man haue the vpper hande: let the Heathen be iudged in thy fight.

Put them in feare, (O Lord:) that the heathen may know themselues to be but men.

Vt quid Domine? Psal. x.

Why standest thou so farre off (O Lord:) and hidest it thy face in the needfull time of trouble?

The vngodly for his owne lust doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the crafty Wilinesse that they haue imagined.

For the vngodly hath made boast of his owne hearts de∣sire: and speaketh good of the couetous whome GOD ab∣horxeth.

The vngodly is so proud, that hee careth not for God: nei∣ther is God in all his thoughts.

His wayes are alway grieuous: thy iudgements are farre aboue out of his fight, and therefore defieth hee all his ene∣mies.

For hee hath said in his heart, Tush, I shalt ncuer bee caft downe: there shalt no harme happen vnto me.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and fraude: vnder his tongue is vngodlinesse and vanitie.

He sitteth lurking in the theeuish corners of the streets: and priuily in his lurking dennes doeth hee murder the innocent, his eyes are set against the poore.

For he lieth waiting secretly, euen as a Lion lurketh he in his denne: that he may rauish the poore.

Hee doeth rauish the poore: when he getteth him into his nette.

Hee falleth downe and humbleth himselfe: that the Con∣gregation of the poore may fall into the handes of his Cap∣taines.

He hath said in his heart, Tush, God hath forgotten: hee hideth away his face, and he will neuer see it.

Arise (O Lord God) and lift vp thine hand: forget not the poore.

Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God: while hee doeth say his heart, Tutsh, thou God rarest not for it?

Surely thou hast seene it: for thou beholdest vngodlinesse and wrong.

That thou mayest take the matter into thine hande: the poore conmitteth himselfe vnto thee, for thou art the helper of the friendlesse.

Breake tthou the power of the vngodly and malicious: take away his vngodlinesse, and thou shalt finde none.

The Lord is King for euer and euer: and the heathen are perised out of the land.

Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poore: thou prepa∣rest their heart, and thine eare hearkeneth thereto.

To helpe the fatherlesse and poore vnto their right: that the man of the earth be no more exalted against them.

In domino confido. Psal. xj

IN the Lord put I my trust: how say yee then to my soule, that the should flee as a bird vnto the hill?

For loe, the vngodly bend their vow, & make ready their arrowes within the quwer: that they may primly shoote at them which are true of heart.

For the foundations will be cast downe: and what hath the righteous done.

The Lorde is in his holy Temple: the Lordes seate is in heauen.

His eyes consider the poore: and his eye lids trieth the chil∣dren of men.

The Lord alloweth the righteous: but the vngodly, & him that delighteth in wickednesse, doeth his soule abhor••c.

Vpon the vngodly he shal raine snares, fire and vrimssone, storme, and tempest: this shalbe their portion to drinke.

For the righteous Lord loueth righteousnesse: his counte∣nance will behold the thing that is iust.

Saluum me fac. Psal. xij.

HElpe me Lord, * 1.4 for there is not one godly man left: for the faithful are minished from among the children of men.

They talke of vanitie euery one with his neighbour: they doe but flatter with their lips, and dissem∣ble with their double heart.

The Lord shalt root out all de∣ceitfull lippes: and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

Which haue said, with our tongue we will preuaile: wee are they that ought to speake, who is Lord ouer vs?

Now for the comfortlesse troubles sake of the needy: and because of the deepe sighing of the poore.

I will vp (sayth the Lord:) and will helpe euery one from him that swelleth against him, and will set them at rest.

The words of the Lord are pure words: euen as the siluer which from the earth is tried, & purified seuen times in y^e fire.

Thou shalt keepe them, O Lord: thou shalt preserue him from this generation for euer.

The vngodly walke on euery side: when they are exalted, the children of men are put to rebuke.

Vsquequo Domine. Psal. xiij.

HOw long wilt thou forget mee (O Lord) for euer: how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long shalt I seeke counsell in my soule, and be so vexed in mine heart: howe long shalt mine enemies triumph ouer me?

Consider and heare mee, O Lorde my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death.

Left mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: for if I be cast downe, they that trouble me, will reioyce at it.

But my trust is in thy mercy: and my heart is ioyfull in thy saluation.

I wil sing of the Lord, because he hath delt so louingly with me: yea, I wil praise the name of the Lord most highest.

Dixit insipiens. Psal. xiiij.

THe foole hath said in his heart: there is no God.

They are corxupt and become abominable in their do∣ings: there is not one that doeth good, (no not one.)

The Lorde looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men: to see if there were any that would vnderstand and seeke after God.

But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues haue they deceiued: the poison of aspes is vnder their lips.

Their mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse: their feete are swift to shed blood.

Destruction and vnhappinesse is in their wayes, & the way of peace haue they not knowen: there is no feare of God be∣fore their eyes.

Haue they no knowledge, that they are all such workers

of mischiefe: eating vp my people as it were bread?

And call not vpon the Lorde, there were they brought in great feare (euen where no feare was:) for God is in the ge∣neration of the righteous.

As for you, yee haue made a mocke at the counsaile of the poore: because he putteth his trust in the Lord.

Who shalt giue saluation vnto Israel out of Sion: when the Lorde turneth the captiuitie of his people, then shalt Ia∣cob reioyce, and Israel shalbe glad.

Domine quis habitabit? Psal. xv.

LOrd who shalt dwell in thy taber∣nacle: * 1.5 or who shalt rest vpon thy holy hill?

Euen he that leadeth an vncor∣rupt life: and both the thing which is right, and speaketh the tructh from his heart.

Hee that hath vsed no deceit in his tongue, nor done enill to his neighbour: nor hath not slandered his neighbours.

Hee that setteth not by himselfe, but is lowly in his owne eyes: and maketh much of them that feare the Lord.

Hee that sweareth vnto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not: though it Were to his owne hinderance.

He that hath not giuen his money vpon vsurie: nor taken reward against the innocent.

Who so doeth thrse things: shalt neuer fall.

Conserua me. Psal. xvj.

PReserue me, O God: for in thee haue I put my trust.

O my soule, thou hast said vnto the Lord: thou art my God, my goods are nothing vnto thee.

All my delight is vpon the saints that are in the earth: and vpon such as excell in vertue.

But they that runne after another god: shalt haue great trouble.

Their drinke offerings of blood will I not offer: neither make mention of their names within my lips.

The Lord himselfe is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup: thou shalt maintaine my lot.

My lot is fallen vnto me in a faire ground: yea, I haue a goodly heritage.

I will thanke the Lord for giuing me warning: my reines also chasten me in the night season.

I haue set God alwayes before me: for hee is on my right hand, therefore I shalt not fall.

Wherefore my heart was glad, and my glory reioyced: my flesh also shalt rest in hope.

For Why: thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell: neither shalt thou suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

Thou shalt she we me the path of life, in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there is pleasure for e∣uermore.

Exaudi Domine iustitiam. Psal.xvij.

HEare the right, O Lorde, consider my complaint: and hearken vnto my prayer, that goeth not out of fayned lippes.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence: and let thine eyes looke vpon the thing that is equall.

Thou hast prooded and visited mine heart in the night fea∣son, thou hast tried me, and shalt finde no wickednesse in me: for I am vtterly purposed that my mouth shalt not offend.

Because of mens workes that are done against the wordes of my lips: I haue kept me from the wayes of the destroyer.

O holde thou vp my goings in thy pathes: that my foote∣steps slip not.

I haue called vpon thee, O God, for thou shalt heare mee: encline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my words.

Shew thy maruellous louing kindnesse, thou that art the Sauiour of them which put their trust in thee: from such as resist thy right hand.

Keepe mee as the apple of an eye: hide me vnder the sha∣dow of thy wings.

From the vngodly that trouble mee: mine enemies com∣passe me round about, to take away my foule.

They are inclosed in their owne fat: and their mouth spea∣keth proud things.

They lie waiting in our way on cuery side: turning their eyes downe to the ground.

Like as a Lion that is greedie of his pray: and as it were a lions whelpe lurking in secret places.

Vp Lord, disappoint him, and cast him downe: dcliuer my soule from the vngodly, which is a sword of thine.

From the men of thy hand, O Lord, from the men, I say, and from the euil world: which haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.

They haue children at their desire: and leaue the rest of their substance for their babes.

But as for me, I will behold thy presence in righteousnes: and when I awake vp after thy likenesse, I shalbe satisfied with it.

Diligam re. Psal. xviij.

I will loue thee (O LORD) my strength, * 1.6 the Lorde is my stonie rocke and my defence: my Saui∣our, my God, and my might, in whome I will trust, my buckler, the horne also of my salutation, and my refuge.

I wil call vpon the Lord, which is worthy to bee praised: so shalt I be safe from mine enemies.

The sorowes of death compas∣sed me: and the ouerflowings of vngodlines made me afratd.

The paines of hell came about mee: the snares of death ouertooke me.

In my trouble I will call vpon the Lord: and comylaine vnto my God.

So shall hee heare my voice out of his holy Temple: and my complaint shalt come before him, it shalt enter eueu into his eares.

The earth trembled & quaked: the very foundations also of the hilles shooke & were remooued, because he was wroth.

There went a smoke out of his presence: and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that coales were kindled at it.

Hee bowed the heauens also and came downe: and it was darke vnder his feete.

He rode vpon the Cherubims and did flie: hee came flying vpon the wings of the winde.

Hee made darkenesse his secret place: his Pauilion round about him, with darke water and thicke cloudes to couer him.

At the brightnesse of his presence his cloudes remooued: hailestones and coales of fire.

The Lorde also thundred out of heauen, and the Highest gaue his thunder: hailestones and coales of fire.

He sent out his arrowes, and scattered them: he cast foorth lightnings, and destroyed them.

The springs of waters were seene, and the foundations of the round world were discouered at thy chiding, O Lord: at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasure.

Hee shalt send downe from the high to fetch me: and shalt take me out of many waters.

Hee shalt deliuer mee from my strongest enemie, and from them which hate me: for they are too mightie for me.

They preuented me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my vpholder.

He brought me forth also into a place of liberty: he brought me forth, euen because he had a fauour vnto me.

The Lorde shalt reward me after my righteous dealing: according to the cleannesse of my hands shalt he recompence mee.

Because I haue kept the wayes of the Lord: and haue not forsaken my God as the wicked doeth.

For I haue an eye vnto all his lawes: and will not cast out his commandements from me.

I was also vncorrupt before him: and eschewed mine own wickednesse.

Therefore shalt the Lord reward me after my righteous dealing: and according vnto the cleannesse of my hands in his eye sight.

With the holy, thou shalt be holy: and with a perfect man, thou shalt be perfect.

With the cleane, thou shalt bee cleane: and with the fro∣ward, thou shalt learne frowardnesse.

For thou shalt saue the people that are in aduersitie: and shalt bring downe the high lookes of the proud.

Thou also shalt light my candle: the Lorde my God shall make my darkenesse to be light.

For in thee I shall discomfit an hoste of men: and with the helpe of my God I shall leape ouer the wall.

The way of God is an vndefiled way: the worde of the Lorde also is tried in the fire, hee is the defender of all them that put their trust in him.

For who is God but the Lord? or who hath any strength except our God?

It is God that girdeth me with strength of warre: and maketh my way perfect.

He maketh my feete like Harts feete: and setteth me vpon high.

Hee teacheth my handes to fight: and mine armes shall breake euen a bowe of steele.

Thou hast giuen me the defence of thy saluation: thy right hande also shall holde me vp, and thy louing correction shall make me great.

Thou shalt make roome ynough vnder me for to goe: that my foote steps shall not slide.

I will followe vpon mine enemies, and ouertake them: neither will I turne againe till I haue destroyed them.

I will smite them, that they shall not be able to stand: but fall vnder my feete.

Thou hast girded me with strength vnto the battell: thou shalt throw downe mine enemies vnder me.

Thou hast made mine enemies also to turne their backes vpon me: and I shall destroy them that hate me.

They shall cry, but there shall bee none to helpe them: yea euen vnto the Lord shal they cry, but he shall not heare them.

I will beate them as small as the dust before the winde: I will cast them out as the clay in the streetes.

Thou shalt deliuer mee from the struings of the people: and thou shalt make me the head of the heathen.

A people whom I haue not knowen: shall serue me.

Assoone as they heare of mee, they shall obey mee: but the strange children shall dissemble with me.

The strange children shall faile: and be afraid out of their prisons.

The Lorde liueth, and blessed bee my strong helper: and praised be the God of my saluation.

Euen the God that seeth that I be auenged: and subdueth the people vnto me.

It is hee that deliuereth me from my (cruell) enemies, and setteth mee vp aboue mine aduersaries: thou shalt ridde mee from the wicked man.

For this cause will I giue thankes vnto thee (O Lorde) a∣mong the Gentiles: and sing prayses vnto thy Name.

Great prosperitie giueth hee vnto his King: and sheweth louing kindnesse vnto Dauid his anoynted, and vnto his seed for euermore.

Coeli enarrant. Psal.xix.

THe heauens declare the glorie of God: * 1.7 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

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.

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, * 1.8 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.

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

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.

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, * 1.9 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.

Ad te Domine. Psal xxv.

VNto thee, O Lorde, will I lift vp my soule, my God, I haue put my trust in thee: O let mee not bee confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph ouer me.

For all they that hope in thee shall not bee ashamed: but with as transgresse without a cause, shalbe put to confusion.

Shew me thy wayes, O Lord: and tearh me thy paths.

Lead me foorth in thy trueth, & learne me: for thou art the God of my saluation, in thee hath bene my hope al y^e day long.

Call to remembrance, O Lorde, thy tender meries: and thy louing Kindnesse which hath bene euer of olde.

Oh remember not the sinnes and offences of my youth: but according to thy mercie thinke thou vpon me, O Lord, for thy goodnesse.

Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therfore wil be teach sinners in the way.

Them that be meeke shal he guide in iudgement: and such as be gentle, them shal he learne his way.

All the paths of the Lord are mercie and trueth: vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.

For thy Names sake, O Lord: be mercifull vnto my sinne, for it is great.

What man is he that feareth the Lord: him shall he teach in the may that he shall choose.

His soule shal dwel at ease: & his seed shall inherit the land.

The secrct of the Lord is among them that feare him: and he will shew them his couenant.

Mine eyes are euer looking vnto the Lorde: for hee shall plucke my feete out of the net.

Lurne thee vnto me, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am dcsolate and in miserie.

The sorowes of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my troubles.

Looke vpon mine aduersitie and miserie: and forgiue me all my sinne.

Cousider mine enemies howe many they are: and they beare atyrannous hate against me.

O keepe my soule, and deliuer mee: let me not be contounded, For I haue put my trust in thee.

Let perfectnesse and righteous dealing waite vpon mee: for my hope hath bene in thee.

Deliuer Israel, O God: out of all his troubles.

Iudica me Domine. Psal. xxvj

BE thou my iudge, O Lord, for I haue walked innocently. my trust hath bene also in y^e Lord, therfore shal I not fall.

Eramine me, O Lord, and proue me: try out me reinef and my heart.

For thy louing kindnesse is euer before mine eyes: and I will walke in thy trueth.

I haue not dlwelt with vaine persons: neither wil I haue fellowship with the deceitfull.

I haue hated the congregation of the wicked: and wil not sit among the vngodly.

I will wash my hands in innocencie, O Lord: and so will I goe to thine altar.

That I may shew the voice of thankesgiuing: and tell of all thy wonderous workes.

Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thy house: and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

O shut not vp my soule with the sinners: nor my life with the bloodthirstie.

In whose hands is wickednes: and their right hands are full of gifts.

But as for me, I will walke innocently: O Lord delitter me and be mercifull vnto mee.

My foote standeth right: I wil praise the Lord in the con∣gregations.

Dominus illuminatio. Psal.xxvij.

THe Lord is my light and my salua∣tion, * 1.10 whom then shall I feare: the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom then shall I be afrand?

When the wicked (euen mine c∣nemies and my foes) came vpon me to cate vp my flesh: they stum∣bled and fell.

Though an hoste of men were layd against mee, yet shall not my heart be afraid: and though there rose vp warre against me, yet will I put my trust in him.

One thing haue I destred of the Lord, which I will re∣quire: euen that I may dwel in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the faire beauty of the Lord, and to visit his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shal hide me in his tabernacle:

yea, in the serret place of his dwelling shal be hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke of stone.

And now shall hee lift vp mine head: aboue mine enemies round about me.

Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladnes: I will sing and speake praises vnto the Lord.

Hearken vnto my voice, O Lord, when Icrie vnto thee: haue mercie vpon me, and hear me.

My heart hath talked of thee, seeke yee my face: thy face Lord will I seeke.

O hide not thou thy face from mee: nor cast thy seruant away in displeasure.

Thou hast been my succour: lcaue me not, neither forsake me, O God of my saluation.

When my father and my mother forsake me: the Lord taketh me vp.

Teach me thy way, O Lord: and leade mee in the right way, bccause of mine enemies.

Deliuer me not ouer into the will of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, & such as speake wrong.

I shold btterly haue fainted: but that I beleeue verely to sce the goodnes of the lord in the land of the liung.

O tarie thou the Lords leasure: bee strong, and hee shall comfort thine heart, and put thou thy trust in the Loard.

Ad te Domine, Psal. xxviij

VNto thee will I crie, O Lorde, my strength: thinke no scorne of me, left if thou make as though thou hearest not, I bccome like them that goe downe into the pit

Heare the voice of my humble petitions when I crie vnto thee: when I hold vp my hauds toward the mercie seate of thy holy Temple.

O plucke me not away (neither destroy mee) with the vngodly & wicked doers: which speake friendly to their neighbours, but imagine mischiefe in their hearts.

Reward them according to their deedes: and according to the wickednesse of their owne inuentions.

Recompense them after the workem of their hands: pay

them that they haue deserued.

For they regard not in their mind the workes of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands:therfore shall he breake them downe, and not build them vp.

Praised bee the Lord:for hee hath the voice of my humble petitions.

The Lorde is my strength and my sheild, my heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped:therefore my heart danceth for ioy, and in my song will I praise him.

The Lord is my strength: and he is the wholsome defence of his anointed.

O saue thy people, and giue thy blessing vnto thine inheritance:feede them, and set them vp for euer.

Afferte Domino Psal. xxix.

BRing vnto the Lord (O ye mighty) bring young rammes vnto the Lorde:ascribe vnto the Lorde worshippe and strength.

Giue the Lorde the honour due vnto his Name:worship the Lord with holy worship.

It is the Lord that commandeth the waters:it is the glorious God that maketh the thunder.

It is the Lord that ruleth the sea, the voyce of the Lordeis mighty in operation:the voyce of the Lord is a glorious voyce.

The voyce of the Lord breaketh the Cedac trees: yea, the Lord breaketh the Cedars Libanus.

He made them also to skippe like a calfe:Libanus also and Syrion like a yong Vnicorne.

The voice of the Lord diuideth the flames of fire, the voice of the Lord shaketh the wildernes: yea, the Lorde shaketh the wildernesse of Cades.

The voyce of the Lord maketh the hindes to bring foorth yong, and discouereth the thirke vushes:in his temple doeth iuery man speake of his honour.

The Lord sitteth aboue the water flood:and the Lord remaineth a King for euer.

The Lord shall giue strength vnto his people:the Lord shall giue his people the blessing of peace.

Exaltabo te Domine. Psal.xxx.

I waill magnifie thee, * 1.11 O Lord, for thou hast set me vp: and not made my foes to triumph ouer me.

O Lord my God, I cried vnto thee: and thou hast healed me.

Thou Lorde hast brought my soule out of hell:thou hast kept my life from them that goe downe to the pit.

Sing praises vnto the Lord (O ye faints of his:) and giue thankes to him for a remebrance of his holinesse.

For his wrath endureth but the twinckliong of an eye, and in his pleasure is life: heauinesse may endure for a night, but ioy commeth in the morning.

And in my prosperitie I sayd, I shall neuer be remooued: thou Lod of thy goodnesse hadst made my hill so strong.

Thou didst turne thy fare (fro me:) and I mas troubled.

Then cried I vnto thee, O Lord: and gate mee vnto my Lord right humbly.

What profit is thee in my blood: whē I go downe to y^e pit:

Shall the dust giue thankes vnto thee: or shall it declare thy trueth

Heare, O Lord, and haue mercie vpon me: Lord be thou my helper.

Thou hast turned ny heauinesse into ioy: thou hast put off my sackecloth, and girded me with gladnesse.

Therefore sball euery good man sing of thy praise without reasing: O my god, I will giue thanks vnto thee for euer.

In te domine speraui. Psal. xxxj.

IN thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let me neuer bee put to confusiou, deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.

Bow downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer me. And bee thou my strong rocke, and the house of defence: that thou mayest saue me.

For thou art my strong rocke and my castell: bee thou also my game, and leade me for thy Names sake.

Draw me out of the net that they haue laid priuily for me: for thou art my strength.

Into thy hands I commend my spitrit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of trueth.

I haue hated them that holde of superstitious vanities: and my trust hath been in the Lord.

I will be glad, and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast considered my trouble, and hast knowen my soule in aduersities.

Thou hast not shut me vp into the hand of the enemie: but hast set my feete in a large roume.

Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: & mine eye is consumed for very heauinesse, yea, my soule & my body.

For my soule is waxen old with heauinesse: and my yeres with mourning.

My strength faileth me, because of mine iniquitie: and my bones are consumed.

I became a reproofe among all mine enemies, but speciaily among my neighbours: and they of mine acquaintance were afraid of me, and they that did see me without conueyed themselues from me.

I am cleane forgotten as a dead man out of minde: I am become like a broken vessel.

For I haue heard the blasphemie of the multitude: and feare is on euery side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsell to take away my life.

But my hope hath beene in thee, O Lord: I haue sayde, Thou art my God.

My time is in thy hand, deliuer me from the hand of mine enemies: and from them that persecute me.

Shew thy seruant the light of thy countenance: and saue me for thy mercies sake.

Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I haue called vpon thee: let the vngodly be put to tonfusion, and bee put to silence in the graue.

Let the lying lips be put to silence: which cruelly, disdainfully, and despightfully speake against the righteous.

O how plentifull is thy goodnesse which thou hast laid vp for them that feare thee: & that thou hast prepared for them

that put their trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men!

Thou shall hide them priuly by thine owne presence, from the prouoking of al men: thou shalt keepe them secretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

Thankes be to the Lord: for he hath shewed me marueilous great kindnesse in a strong citie.

And when I made haste, I sayd: I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes.

Neuerthelesse thou heardedest the voice of prayer: when I cryed vnto thee.

O loue y^e Lord all ye his saints: for y^e Lord preserueth them that are faithful, and plenteously rewardeth the proud doer.

Be strong, and hee shall stablish your heart: all ye that put your trust in the Lord.

Beati quorum. Psal.xxxij.

BLessed is hee whose vnrighteousnesse is forgiuen: and whose sine is couered. * 1.12

Blessed is the man vnto whom the Lord imputeth no sinne: and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For while I helde my tongue: my bones cōsumed away through my dayly complaining.

For thy hand is heauy vpon me day and might: and my moisture is like the drought in Summer.

I will knowledge my sinne vnto thee: and mine vnrighteousnesse haue I not hid.

I sayd, I will confesse my sinnes vnto the Lorde: and so thou forgauest the wickednesse of my sinne.

For this shall euery one that is godly, make his prayer vntothee in a time when thou mayest be found: but in the great mater floods they shall not come nigh him.

Thou art a place to hide me in, thou shall preserue me from trouble: thou shalt cōpasse me about w^t songs of deliuerance.

I will enforme thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shall go: and I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not like to horie and mule, which haue no vnderstanding: whole mouthes must be holden with bit and bridle, lest they fall vpon thee.

Great plagues remaine for the vngodly: but who so putleth his trust in y^e Lord, mercie imbraceth him on euery side.

Be glad, O ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord: and bee idyfull all ye that are true of heart.

Exultate iusti. Psal.xxxiij.

REidice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth wel the iust to be thankefull.

Praise the Lord with harpe: sing Psalmes vnto hin with the Lute and instrument of ten strings.

Sing vnto the Lord a new song: sing praises lustily (vnto him) with a good courage.

For the word of the Lord is true: and all his workes are faithfull.

He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: The earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heauens made: and all the hostes of them by the dreath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were vpon an heape: and layeth vp the deepe as in a treasure house.

Let all the earth leare the Lord: stand in awe of him, all ye that dwell in the world.

For he spake, & it was done: he commanded, & it stood fast.

The Lord bringeth the counsell of the hearthen to nought: and maketh the deulses of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of Peinces.

The counsell of the Lorde shall endure for euer: and the though is of his heart from generation to generation.

Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord Iehoua: and blessed are the folke that hee hath chosen to him to be his inheritance.

The Lord looked downe from heauen, and beheld all the children of men: from the habitation of his dwelling he considereth all them that dwell in the earth.

He fashioneth all the hearts of them: and vnderstandeth all their works.

There is no king that can be saued by thy multitude of an host: neither is any mighty man deliuered by much strength.

A horse is counted but a vaine thing to saue a man: neither shall he deliuer any man by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him: and vpon them that put their trust in his mercie.

Lo deliuer their soules from desath: and to feede them in the time of death.

our sounle hath patiently faried for Lord: for he is our helpe, and our shield.

For our heart shall reioyce in him: because we haue hoped in his holy Name.

Let the mercifull kindnesse (O Lord) be vpon vs: like as we doe put our trust in thee.

Benedicam Domino, Pslxxxiiij.

I will alway giue thankes vnto the Lord: his praise shall euer be in my mounth.

My sonle shall make her boast of the Lord: the humble sall heare there of, and be glad.

O praise the Lord with me: and let vs magnifie his Name together.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he deliuered me out of all my feare.

They had an eye vnto him, and were lightend: and their faces were not ashamed.

Loe, the poore crieth, and the Lord heareth him: yea, and saueth him out of all his troubles.

The Angle of the Lorde tarieth round about them that feare him: and deliuereth them.

O taste and see howe gracious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

O feare the Lord ye that be his saints: for they that feare him, lacke nothing.

The Lons doe lacke, and suffer hunger: but they which seeke the Lord, shall want no maner of thing that is good.

Come ye children, and hearken vnto me: I will teach you the feare of the Lord.

what man is hee that lusteh to liue, and would faine see good dayes: keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips that they speake no guile.

Esche we euil and doe good: seeke peace, and ensue it.

The eyes of the Lorde are ouer the righteous: and his eares are open vpon vnto them praiers.

The countenance of the Lorde is against them that doe cuill: to roote out the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the Lord heaeth them: and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.

The Lord is nigh vnto them that are of a contrite heart: and will saue such as be of an humble spirit.

Great are the troubles of the rightcous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of all.

He keepeth all his bones: so that not one of them is broken.

But misfortune shall slay the vngodly: and they that hate the righteous, shalbe desolate.

The Lord deliuereth the soules of his seruants: and all they that put their trust in him, shall not be destitute.

Iudica Domine. Psal.35.

P Leade thou my cause, * 1.13 O Lorde, with them that striue with me: and fight thou against they that fight against me.

Lay hande vpon the shield and bucklcr: and sand vp to helpe me.

Bring forth the speare, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation.

Let them be confonded and put to shame that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confusion, that imagine mischiefe for me.

Let them be as the dust before the winde: and the Angel of the Lord scattering them.

Let their be as the dust before the winde: and the Angel of the Loard scattering them.

Let their may be darke and slipperie: and let the Angle of the Lord persecute them.

For they haue priuily layd their net to destroy me withhout a cause: yea, cuen without a cause haue they made a pit for my soule.

Let a sudden destruction come vpon him vnawares, and his net that he hath laid priuily catch himselfe: that hee may fall into his owne mischiefe.

And my soule, be ioyfull in the Loes: it shall reioyce in his saluation.

All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like vnto thee, which deliuerest the poore from him that is too strong for him: yea, the poore and him that is in miserie, from hun that spoileth him.

False witnesse did rise vp: they laide to my charge thigs that I know not.

They rewarded me euill for good: to the great discomfort of my soule.

Neuerthelesse, when they were sicke, I put on sackcloth, and humbled my soule with fasting: and my prater shal turne into mine owne bosome.

I behauted my selfe as though it had bene my friend, or my brother: I went heauily as one that mourneth for his mother.

But in mine aduersitie they reioyced, and gathered them together: yea, the very abiects came together against me vnawares, making mowes at me, and ceased not.

With the flatterers were busie mockers: which gnashed vpon me with their teeth.

Lord, how long wilt thou looke vpon this: O deliuer my soule from the calamities which they bring on mee, and my darling from the Lions.

So will I giue thee thankes in the great Congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

Olet not them that are mine enemies triumph ouer mee vngodly: neither let them winke with their eyes that hate me without a cause.

And why: their communing is not for peace: but they imagine deceitfull wordes against them that are quiet in the land.

They gaped on mee with their mouthes, and sayd: Fie on thee, fie on thee, we saw it with our eyes.

This thou hast seene, O Lord: hold not thy tongue then, goe not farre from me, O Lord.

Awake and stand vp to indge my quarell: auenge thou my cause, my God and my Lord.

Iudge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousnesse: and let then not triumph ouer me.

Let them not say in their hearts, There, there, so would we haue it: neither let them say, we haue deuoured him.

Let them be put to confusion and shame together that reioyce at my trouble: let them be clothed with rebuke and dishonour that boast themselues against me.

Let them bee glad and reioyce that fauour my rightcous dealimng: yea, let them say alway, Blessed be the Lord, which hath pleasure in the prosperitie of his seruant.

And as for my tongue, it shall be talking of thy righteousnesse: and of thy praise all the day long.

Dixit iniustus. Psal. 36.

MY heart sheweth mee the wigkednesse of the vngodly: that there is no feare of God before his eyes.

For he flattereth himselfe in his owne sight: vntill his abhominable sinne be found out.

The words of his mouth are burighteous, and full of deceit: hee hath left off to behaue himselfe wisely, and to doe good.

He imagineth mischiese vpon his bcd, and hath set himselfe in no good way: neither doth he abhorre any thing that is euill.

Thy mercie, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heaucns: and thy faithfulnesse vnto the clouds.

Thy righteousnesse standeth like the strong mountaines: thy indgements are like the great deepe.

Thou Lord shall saue both man and beast, how excellent is thy mercie, O God: and the children of men shall put their trust vnder the shadow of thy wings.

They sbalbe satisfied with the plenteousnesse of thy house: and thou shalt giue them drinke of thy pleasures, as out of

the riuer.

For with thee is the well of life: and in thy light shall she fee light.

O continue foorth thy louing kindnesse vnto them that know thee: and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are true of heart.

O let not the foote of pride come against me: and let not the hand of the vngodly cast me downe.

There are they fallen (all) that worke wickednesse: they are cast downe, and shall not he able to stand.

Noli aemulari. Psal. 37.

FRet not thy selse, * 1.14 because of the vngod∣ly: neither be thou enuious against the euill doers.

For they shall soone bee cut downe like the grasse: and he withered euen as the greene herbe.

Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be doing good: dwell in the land, and berily thou shall he fed.

Delight thou in the Lord: and hee shall giue thee thy hearts defire.

Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and put thy truft in him: and he shall bring it to passe.

He shal make the righteousnesse as cleare as the light: and the iust dealing as the noone day.

Hold thee still in the Lord, and abide patiently vpon him: but grieue not thy selfe at him whose may doeth prosper, a∣gainst the man that doeth after euill counsailes.

Leaue off from wrath, and let goe disleasure: fret not thy selfe, else shall thou be mooued to doe euill.

Wicked doers shall be rooted out: and they that patiently abide the Lord, thofe shall inherit the land.

Yet a litle while, and the vngodly shalbe cleane gone: thou shall looke after his place, and he shalbe away.

But the meeke spirited shall possesse the earth: and shalbe refresed in the multitude of peace.

The vngodly feeketh connsaile against the lust: and

gnasheth vpon him with his teeth.

The Lord shall laugh him to scorne: for he hath seene that his day is comnnng.

The vngodly haue drawen out the sworde, and haue bent their bow: to cast downe the poore and needy, and to slay such as be of a right conuersation.

Their sword shall go though their owne heart: and their bow shall be broken.

A finall thing that the righteous hath: is better then great riches of the vngodly.

For the armes of the vngodly shalbe broken: and the Lord vpholdeth the righteous.

The Lord knoweth the dayes of the godly: and their in∣heritance shall endure for euer.

They shal not be confounded in the perilous time: and in the dayes of dearth they shall haue ynough.

As the vngodly they shal perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall confume as the fatte of lambes: yea, euen, as the smoke shall they confume away.

The vngodly horoweth, and payeth not againe: but the righteous is mercrifull and liberall.

Such as be bleffed of God, shal possesse the land: and they that be curfed of him shalbe rooted out.

The lord ordereth a good mans going: and maketh his way acceptable to himselfe.

Though he fall, he shal not be cast away: for the Lord vp∣holderth him with his hand.

I haue bene yong, and now am olde: and yet sawe I ne∣uer the righteous forsaken, nor his feede begging their bread.

The righteous is euer mercifull, and lendeth: and his seed is blessed.

Flee from euill, and doe the thing that is good: and dwell foreuermore.

For the Lord loueth the thing that is right: hee forsaketh not his that be godly, but they are preserued for euer.

The righteous shalbe punished: as for the seede of the vn∣godly, it shalbe rooted out.

The righteous shall inherite the land: and dwell therein for euer.

The mouth of the righteous is exercised in wisedome: and his tongue will be talking of iudgement.

The law of his God is in his heart: and his goings shall not slide.

The vngodly feeth the righteous: and feekeeth occasion to slay him.

The Lord will not leaue him in his hand: nor condemne him when he is iudged.

Hope thou in the Lord, & keepe his way, and he shall pro∣mote thee, that thou shalt possesse the land: when the vngod∣ly shall perish, thou shalt see it.

I my selfe haue seene the vngodly in great power: and flo∣rishing like a greene Bay tree.

And I went by, and loe he was gone: I sought him, but his place could no where be found.

Keepe innocencie, and take heede vnto the thiug that is right: for that shall bring a man peace at the laft.

As for the trausgressours, they shall perish togrther: and the end of the vngodly is, They shall be rooted out at the last.

But the saluation of the righteous commeth of the Lord: which is also their strength in the time of trouble.

And the Lord shall stand by them, and saue them: he shall deliuer them from the vugodly, and shall saue them, because they put their trust in him.

Domine ne in furore. Psal. 38.

PVt me not to rebuke (O Lord) in thine anger: neither chasten me in thine anger: neither tahsten chasten me in thine heauie displeasure. * 1.15

For thine arrowes sticke fast in me: and thy hand presseth me fore.

There is no heaith in my flesh, because of thy displeasure: neither is there any rest in my bones, by reason of my sinne.

For my wickednesses are gone ouer my head: and are

like a fore burden too heauie for me to beare.

My wounds stinke, & are corrupt: through my foolishnes.

I am brought into so great trouble and nuserie: that I go mourning all the day long.

for my loines are filled with a fore disease: and there is no whole part in my bodie.

I am feeble and fore smitten: I haue roared for the very difquietnesse of my heart.

Lord, thou knowest all my desire: and my groning is not hid from thee.

My heart panteth, my strength hath failed mee: and the sight of mine eyes is gone from mee.

My louers and my neighbours did stand looking vpon my trouble: and my kinsmen stood a farre off.

They also that sought after my life, laide snares for mee: and they that went about to doe me euil, talked of wickedones, and imagined deceite all the day long.

As for me, I was like a deafe man, and heard: not: and as one that is dumbe, which doeth not open his mouth.

I became euen as a man that heareth not: and in whole mouth are no reprooses.

For in thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: thou shall an∣swere for me, O Lord my God.

I haue required that they (euen mine enemies)sould not triumph ouer mee: for when my foote sltpt, they reioyced greatly against me.

And I truely am set in the plague; and my heauines is e∣uer in my sight.

For I will confesse my wickednes: & be forie for my sinne.

But mine enemies liue, and are mightie: and they that hate me wrongfully, are many in number.

They also that reward euill for good, are against mee: be∣cause I follow the thing that good is.

Forsake me not, O Lord my God: be not thou far frō me. Haste thee to helpe me: O Lord God my faluation.

Dixi, Custodiam. Psal.39.

I Said, I will take heed to waies: that I offend not in my tongue.

I will keepe my mouth (as it were with a bridle:) wihile the vngodly is in my sight.

I held my tongue, and spake nothing: I Kept silence, yea, euen from good wordes, but it was paine and griefe to me.

My heart was hote within me, and while I was thus musing, the fire kindled; and at the last I spase with my tongue.

Lord let me know mine end, and the number of my daies; that I may be certified how long I haue to liue.

Behold, thou hast made my dayes as it were a span long: and mine age is euen as nothing in respect of thee, and verily euery man liuing is altogetder vanitie.

For man walketh in a vaine shadow, and disquietetli him selfe in baine: he heapeth vp ciches, and can not tell who shall gather them.

And now Lord what is my hope: truely my hope is euen in thee.

Deliuer me from all mine offences: and make me not are∣buke vnto the foolish.

I became dumbe, and opened not my mouth: for it was thy doing.

Take thy plague away from me: I am euen confumed by the meanes of thy heauie hand.

When thou with rebukes doett thasten man for sinne, thou makest his beautie to consume away like as it were a moth fretting a garment: euery man therefore is but vanitie.

Heare my prayer, O Lord, and with thine eares consider my calling: holde not thy peace at my teares.

For I am a stranger with thee, and a soiouner: as all my fatders were.

O spare me a litle, that I may recouer my strength: before I go hence, and be no more seene.

Expectans expectaui. Psal. 40.

I Waited patiently for the Lorde: and he inclined vnto me, and heard my calling.

He brought mee also out of the horrible pit, out of the m••re and clay: and fet my feete vpon the rocke, and ordered my goings.

And he hath put a new song in month: euen a thankes gining vnto our God.

Many shall see it, and feate: and shall put their trust in the Lorde.

Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in the Lord: and turned not vnto the proude, and to such as goe about with lyes.

O Lord my God, great are thy wonderous works which thou hast done: like as bee also thy thoughtes which are to vsward, and yet there is no man that ordercth them vnto thee.

If I would declare them and speaue of them: they should be moe then I am able to expresse.

Saeisice and meate offering thou woulde haue: but mine eares hast thou opened.

Burnt offerings and sacrisice for sinne hast thou not requi∣red: then sayd I, Loe, I come.

In the volume of the booke it is written of mee, that I should fulfill thy will, O my God: I am consent to do it, yea, thy law is within my heart.

I haue declared thy righteousnesse in the great congrega∣tion: loe, I will not refraine my lippes, O Lord, and that thou knowest.

I haue not hidde thy righteousncsse within my heart: my talking hath beene of thy trueth, and of thy saluation.

I haue not kept backe thy louing mercy and trueth: from the great congregation.

Withdraw not thou thy mercie from mee, O LORD: let thy louing kindenesse and thy trueth away preserue mee.

For innumerable troubles are come about me, my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon mee, that I am not able to looke vp: yea, they are mo in number then the haires of mine head, and mine heart hath failed me.

O Lorde, let it be thy pleasure to deliuer me: make haste (O Lord) to helpe me.

Let them be a shamed and confounded together that seeke after my soule to destroy it: let them bee driuen backe∣ward

and put to rebuke that with me euill.

Let them be desolate and rewarded with shame, that say vnto me: Fie vpon thee, fie vpon thee.

Let all those that seeke thee, be ioyful, and glad in thee: and let sucd as loue thy saluation, say alway, the Lord be praised.

As for me, I am poore & nee dy: but the Lord careth for me.

Thou art my helper and redeemer: make no long tarying, O my God.

Beatus qui intelligit. Psal. 41.

BLessed is hee that confidereth the poore and needie: the Lorde shall deliuer him in the time of trouble. * 1.16

The Lord preserue him & keepe him aliue, that hee may be blessed vpon earth: and deliuer not thou him into the will of his enemies.

The Lorde comfort him when hee lyeth sicke vpon his bed: make thou all his bed in his sicknesse.

I said, Lorde be mercifull vnto me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.

Mine enemies speake euill of me: when shall hee die, and his name perish?

And if he come to see me he speaketh vanity: and his heart ronceineth falshood within himselfe, and when hee commeth foorth, he telleth it.

All mine enemies whisper together against mee: euen a∣gainst me doe they imagine this euill.

Let the sentence of guiltinesse proceede against him: and now that he lyeth, let him rise vp no more.

Yea, euen mine owne familiar friend whome I trusted: which did also eate of my bread, hath layde great wayte for mee.

But be thou mercifull vnto me, O Lord: raise thou me vp againe, and I shall reward them.

By this I knowe thou fauourest mee: that mine enemie doeth not triunpy against me.

And when I am in my health, thou vpholdest me: & shalt set me before thy face for euer.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: world without eude. Amen.

Quemadmodum. Psal. 42.

LIke as the Hart desireth the water brookes: so longeth my soule after thee, O God.

My soule is athirst for God, yea, euen for hte liuing God: when shall I come to appeare before the presence of God?

My teares haue bene my meate day and might: while they dayly say vnto nie, Where is now the God?

Now when I thinke thereupon, I powre out my heart by my selfe: for I went with the multitude, & brought them forth into the house of God.

In the voice of praise and thankesgiuing: among such as keepe holy day.

Why art thou so full of heauinesse (O my soule:) and why art thou so disquieted within me?

Put thy trust in God: for I will yet giue him thankes for the helpe of his countenance.

My God, my soule is vexed within mee: therefore will I remember thee, concerning the land of Iordane, and the lit∣tle hill of Hermon.

One deepe calleth another, because of the noise of the wa∣ter pipes: all thy waues and stormes are gone ouer me.

The Lorde hath granted his I sing of him, and made my prayer vnto the God of my life.

I wil say vnto the God of my strength, why hast thou for∣gotten me: why goe I thus heauily, while the enemie oppresseth me?

My bones are smitten asunder as with a sworde: while mine enemies (that tropuble me) cast me in the teeth.

Namely while they say dayly vnto me: where is now thy God?

Why art thou so vexed, O my soule: and why art thou so disquieted within me?

O put thy trust in GOD: for I will yet thanke him,

which is the helpe of my countenance, and my God.

Iudica me Deus. Psal.43.

GIue sentence with mee, O God, and defend my cause a∣gainfr the vongodly people: O deliuer me from the deceit∣full and whiched man.

For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee: and why goe I fo heauily, while the eneme oppresseth me?

Oh send out thy light and thy trueth, that they may leade me: and bring me vnto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling.

And that I may goe vnto the Altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy and gladnesse: and vpon the harpe will I giue thankes vnto thee, O God my God.

why art thou so heauie, O my soule: and why art thou so disquieted within me?

O put thy truft in God: for I will yet giue him thankes, which is the helpe of my countenance, and my God.

Deus auribus. Psal.44.

WEe haue heard with our cares, * 1.17 O God, our fathers haue tolde vs: what thou hast done in their time of olde.

How thou hast driuen out the Hearthen with thy hand, and plan∣ted them in: howe thou hast de∣stroyed the nations, and rast them out.

For they gate not the lande in possession though their owne sword: neither was it their owne arme that helped them.

But thy right hand, and thine arme, and the light of thy conntenance: because thou haddesta fauour vnto them.

Thou art my King (O God:) send helpe vnto Iacob.

Through thee will we ouerthrow our enemmies: and in thy Name will we tread them rise vp against vs.

For I will not trust in my bowe: it is not my sworde that shall helpe me.

But it thou that sasest vs from our enemies and puttest them to consusion that hate vs.

We make our boast of God all day long: and will praise thy Name for euer.

But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to coufusion: and goest not foorth with our armies.

Thou makest vs to turne our backes vpon one enemies: so that they which hate vs, spoile our goods.

Thou lettest vs to be eaten vp like sheepe: and hast scatte∣red vs among the heathen.

Thou sellest thy people for nought: and takest no money for them.

Thou makest vs to be rebuked of our neighbours: to bee laughed to scorne, and had in derision of them that are round about vs.

Thou makest vs to be a by word among the heathen: and that the people shake their heads at vs.

My confusion is dayly before me: and the shmme of my face hath couered me.

For the voice of the slanderer and blasphemer: for the ene∣ime and auenger.

And though all this be come vpon vs, yet doe wee not for∣get thee: nor behaue our selues frowadly in thy couenant.

Our Heart is not turued backe: neither our steps gone out of thy way.

No not when thou hast smitten vs into the place of Dra∣gons: and couered vs with the shadow of death.

If we haue forgotten the name of our God, and holden vp ore hands to any srange god: shall not God search it ont? for he knoweth the very secrets of the heart.

For thy sake also are wee killed all the day long: and are counted as sheepe appointed to be slame.

Vp Lord, why sleepest thou: awake, and bee not absent from vs for euer.

Where fore hides thou thy fare: and forgettest our miserie and trouble?

For our soule is brought low, euen vnto the dust: onr belly eleaueth vnto the ground.

Arise and helpe vs: and deliuer vs for thy mercies soke.

Eructauit cor meum. Psal.45

MY heart is inditing of a good matter: I speake of the things which I haue made vnto the King.

My tongue is the pen: of a readie writer.

Thou art fairer then the children of men: full of grace are thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.

Girde thee with thy sworde vpon thy thigh, O thou most mightie: according to the woship and renowme.

Good lucke haue thou with thine honour: ride on, because of the word of trueth, of meekenesse, and righteousnesse, and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

The arrowes are very sharpe, and the people shalbe sub∣dued vnto thee: euen in the middes among the Kings ene∣mies.

Thy seate (O God) endureth for euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a right scepter.

Thou hast loued righteousnes, and hated iniquity: where∣fore God, (euen thy God) hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue thy fellowes.

All thy garments smell of Myrrhe, Aloes, and Cassia: out of the Iuory palaces, whereby they haue made thee glad.

Kings daughters were among thy honourable Women: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of gold (wrought about with diuers colours.)

Hearken (O Daughter) and consider, encline thine eare: forget also thine owne people, and thy fathers house.

So shall the King haue pleasure in thy beauty: for hee is thy Lord (God) and Worship thou him.

And the daughter of Tyre shalbe there with a gift: like as the rich also among the people shall make their supplication before thee.

The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

Shee shalbe brought vnto the king in a rayment of needle worke: the virgins that be her fellowes shall beare her com∣panie, and shalbe brought vnto thee.

With ioy and gladnesse shall they bee brought: and shall

enter into the Kings palace.

In stead of thy fathers thou shall haue children: whome thou mayest make princes in all lands.

I Will remember thy name from one generation vnto an∣other: therfore shall the people giue thanks vnto thee, world without ende.

Deus noster refugium. Psal.46.

GOD is our hope and strength: a very present helpe in trouble.

I herefore will we not feare though the earth be moo∣ned: and though the hils be caried into the mids of the sea.

Though the waters there of rage and swell: and though the mountaines shake at the tempest of the same.

The riuers of the flood thereof shall make glad the Citie of God: the holy place of the tabernacle of the most highest.

God is in the middest of her, therefore shal she not be remo∣ned: God shall helpe her, and that right earely.

The Heathen make much adoe, and the kingdomes are moued: but God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall meltaway

The Lorde of hostes is with vs: the God of Iacob is our refuge.

O come hither, and behold the workes of the Lord: what destruction he hath brought vpon the earth.

He maketh werres to cease in all the world: hee breaketh the bow, and knappeth the speare in sunder, and burneth the chariots it the fine.

Be still then, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth.

The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iacob is our refuge.

Omnes gentes plaudite. Psal.47.

O Clappe your handes together, * 1.18 all yee peo∣ple: O sing vnto God with the voyce of me∣lodie.

For the LORDE is high, and to be feared: hee is the great King vpon all the earth.

Hee shall subdue the people vnder vs: and the nations vn∣der our feete.

Hee shall chuse out an heritage for vs: euen the worship of Iacob whom he loued.

God is gone vp with a mery noise: and the Lord with the sound of the trumpe.

O sing praises, sing praises vnto (our) God: O sing pray∣ses, sing praises vnto our King.

For God is the King of all the earth: sing yee praises with vnder standing.

God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy seate.

The princse of the people are ioyned vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for God (which is very high exalted) doth defend the earth as it were with a shield.

Magnus Dominus. Psal.48.

GReat is the Lord, and highly to be praised: in the citie of our God, euen vpon his holy hill.

The hill of Sion is a faire place, and the ioy of the whole earth: vpon the North side lieth the citie the great King, God is well knowen in her palaces, as a sure refuge.

For loe, the kings of the earth: are gathered and gone by together.

They marueiled to see such things: they were astonied, and suddenly cast downe.

Feare came there vpon them, and sorowe: as vpon a wo∣man in her trauaile.

Thou shalt brake the shippes of the sea: through the East Winde.

Like as wee haue heared, so haue we seene in the citte of the Lorde of hostes, in the citie of our God: God vpholdeth the same for euer.

We wait for thy louing kindnesfe (O God:) in the middes of thy Temple.

O God, according vnto thy Name, so is thy praise vnto the worlds end: thy right hand is full of righteousnesse.

Let the mount Sion reioyce, and the daughters of Iuda be glad: because of thy iudgements.

Malke about Sion, and goe round about her: and tell the towres thereof.

Marke well her bulwarkes, set vp her houses: that ye may tell them that come after.

Forthis God is our God for euer and euer: he shall be our guide vnto death.

Audite haec omnes. Psal.49.

O Heare ye this all ye people: ponder it with your eares all ye that dwell in the world.

High and lowe, rich and poore: one with another.

My mouth shall speake of wisedone: and my heart shall muse of vnderstanding.

I wil encline mine eare to the parable: and shew my darke speach vpon the Harpe.

Wherefore should I feare in the dayes of wickednesse: and when y^e wickednes of my heeles compasseth me round about?

There be some that put their trust in their goods: and boast themselues in the multitude of their riches.

But no man may deliuer his brother: nor make agreement vnto God for him.

For it cost more to redeeme their soules: so that he must let that alone for euer.

Yea, though he liue long: and see not the graue.

For he feeth that wise men also die, and perish together: as wel as the ignorant & foolish, and leaue their riches for other.

And yet they thinke that their house shall cotinue for euer: and that their dwelling places shall endure from one generation to another, and call the landes after their owne names.

Neuerthelesse, man will not abide in honour: seeing hee may be compared vnto the beasts that perish, this is the way of them.

This is their foolishnesse: and their posteritie prayse their saying.

They lie in the hell like sheepe, death gnameth vpon them. and the righteous shall haue domination of them in the mor∣ning: their beautie shall consnme in the sepulchre out of their dwelling.

But God hath deliuered my soule from the place of hell: for he shall receiue me.

Be not thon afraid though one be made rich: or if the glory of his house be increased.

For he shall carie nothing away with him when he dyeth: neither shall his pompe follow him.

For while he liued, he counted him selfe an happie man: and so long as thou doest well vnto thy selfe, men will speake good of thee.

Hee shall follow the generation of his fathers: and shall neuer see light.

Man being in honour, hath no vnderstanding: but is com∣pared vnto the beasts that perish.

Deus deorum. Psal.50.

THe Lord, * 1.19 euen the most nughtie God hath spoken: and called the worlde, from the rising vp of the Sunne, vnto the going downe thereof.

Out of Sion hath God appea∣red: in perfect beautie.

Our God shall come, and shall not keepe silence: there shall go be∣fore him a consuming fire, and a mightie tempest shall be stirred vp rouud about him.

He shall call the heauen from aboue: and the earth, that he may iudge his people.

Gather my saints together vnto me: those that haue made a counenant with me with sacrifice.

And the heauens sall declare his righteousnesse: for God is iudge himselfe.

Heare, O my people, and I will speake: I my selfe will te∣stifie against thee, O Israel, for I am God, euen thy God.

I will not reprooue thee, because of thy sacrifices, or for thy burnt offerings: becanse they were not alway before me.

I will take no bullocke out of they house: nor hee goates

out of thy foldes.

For all the beasts of the forrest are mine: and so are the castelsis vpon a thousand his.

I know all the foules vpon the mountaines: and the wild beasts of the field are in my sight.

If I be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the whole would is mine, and all that is therein.

Thinkest thou that I will eate Buls flesh: and drinke the blood of Goates?

Offer vnto God thankesgiuing: and pay thy vowes vnto the most Highest.

And call vpon mee in the time of trouble: so will I heare thee, and thou shall prayse me.

But vnto the vngodly satde God: why doest thou preach my lawes, and takest my couenant in thy mouth?

where as thou hatest to bee reformed: and hast cast my words behind thee.

When thou sawest a their, thou consentedst vnto him: and hast bene partakers with the adulterers.

Thou hast let thy mouth speake wickednes: and with thy tongue thou hast set forth deceit.

Thou satest and spakest against thy brother: yea, and hast slandered thine owne mothers sonne.

These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue, and thoughtest wickedly, that I am euen such a one as thy selfe: but I will reprooue thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

O consider this, yee that forget God: lest I plucke you a∣way, and there be none to deliuer you.

Who so offereth me thankes and prayse honoureth me: and to him that ordereth his conuersation right, will I shew the saluation of God.

Miserere mei Deus. Psal.51.

HAue mercie vpon mee, O God, after thy great goodnesse: according to the multitude of the mercies doe away mine offences.

Wash me thoughly from my wickednesse: and clense mee from my sinne.

For I knowledge my faultes: & my sin is euer before me.

Aganst thee onely haue I sinned, and done this euil in thy sight: that thou mightest be iustified in thy saying, and cleare when thou art iudged.

Behdold, I mas shapen in wickednesse: & in sinne hath my mother couceiued me.

But loc, thou requirest trueth in the inward partes: and shall make me to vndestand wisedome secretly.

Thou shalt purge me with Hysope, and I shall be cleane: thou shall wash me, and I shalbe whiter then snowe.

Thou shalt make me heare of ioy and gladnesse: that the bones which thou hast broken may reioyce.

Turne thy face from my sinnes: and put out all my misdeedes.

Make mee a cleane heart, O God: and renew a rght spi∣rit within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence: and take not thy holy spirit from me.

O giue me the comfort of the helpe againe: and stablish me with thy free spirit.

Then shall I teach thy wayes vnto the wicked: and sin∣ners shalbe conuerted vnto thee.

Deliuer me from bloodgiltinesse, O God, thou that art the God of my health: & my tongue shal sing of thy righteousnes.

Thou shall open my lips (O Lord:) and my month shall shew thy prayse.

For thou desirest no sacrifice, els would I giue it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt offerings.

The sacrfice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and con∣trite heart (O God) shall thou not despise.

O be fauourable and gracious vnto Sion: build thou the Walles of Hierusalem.

Then shall thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteous∣nesse, with the burnt offerings and oblations: then shall they offer yong bullocks vpon thine altar.

Quid gloriaris? Plal. 52.

WHy boastest thou thy selfe, thou tyrant: that thou canst doe mischiefe?

Whereas the goodnesse of God: endureth yet dayly.

Thy tongue imagineth wickednesse: and with lies thou cuttest like a sharpe rasor.

Thou hast loued vnrighteousnesse more then goodnesse: and to talke of lies more then righteousnesse.

Thou hast loued to speake all wordes that may doe hurt: O thou false tongue.

Therefore shall God destroy thee for euer: hee shall take thee, and plucke thee out of thy dwlling, and roote thee out of the land of the liuing.

The roghteous also shall see this, and feare: and sal laugh him to scorne.

Loe, this is the man that tooke not Goo for his strength: but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and strengthened himselfe in his wickednesse.

As for me, I am like a greene Oliue tree in the house of God: my trust is in the tender mercie of God for euer & euer.

I will alwayes giue thankes vnto thee for that thou halst done: and I will hope in thy name, for thy saints like it well.

Dixit insipiens. psal. 53.

THe foolish bodie hath sayd in his heart: there is no God. * 1.20

Corrupt are they, and become abominable in their wickednsse: there is none that doeth good.

God looked down from heauen vpon the children of men: to see if there were any that would vnder∣stand, and seeke after God.

But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogethee become abominable: there is also none that doeth good, no not one.

Are not they without vnderstanding that worke wicked∣nesse: eating vp my people as if they would eate bread? they haue not called vpon God.

They were aftaide where no feare was: for God hath broken the bones of him that besieged thee, thou hast pnt them to confision, because God hath despised them.

Oh that the Saluation were giuen vnto Israel out of Si∣on: Oh that the Lord would deliuer his people out of capti∣uitie.

Then should Iacob reioyce: and Israel should bee right glad.

Deus in nomine. Psal.54.

SAue me, O God, for thy names sake: and auenge mee in thy strength.

Heare my prayer, O God: & hearken vnto the words of my mouth.

For strangers are risen vp against me: and tyrants (which haue not God before their eyes) seeke after my soule.

Beholde, God is my helper: the Lorde is with them that vphold my soule.

Hee shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy trueth.

An offering of a free heart will I giue thee, and prayse thy name, O Lord: because it is so comfortable.

For hee hath deliuered me out of all my trouble: and mine eye hath seene his desire vpon mine enemies.

Exaudi Deus. Psal.55.

HEare my prayer, O God: and hide not thy selfe from my petition.

Take heede vnto me, and heare me: howe I mourne in my prayer, and am vexed.

The enemine crieth so, and the vngodly commeth on so fast: for they are minded to doe me some mischiefe, so maliciously are they set against me.

My heart is disquieted within me: and the feare of death is fallen vpon me.

Fearefulnesse and trembling are come vpon mee: and an horrible dread hath ouerwhelmed me.

And I sayde, Oh that I had wings like a Doue: for then would I slee away, and be at rest.

Loe, then would I get me away farre off: and remaine in the wildernesse.

I would make haste to escape: because of the stormie wind and tempest.

Destroy their tongues, O Lord, and diuide them: for I haue spied vnrighteousnesse and strife in the citie.

Day and night they goe about within the walles threof: misehiefe also and sorow are in the middes of it.

Wickednesse is therein: deceite and gutle go not out of their streetes.

For it is not an open enemie that hath done me this disho∣nour: for then I could haue borne it.

Neither was it mine aduersarie that did magnifie himselfe against me: for then (peraduenture) I would haue hid my selfe from him.

But it was euen thou my companion: my guide, and mine owne famihar friend.

Wee tooke sweete counsell together: & walked in the house of God as friends.

Let death come hastily vpon them, & let them goe downe quicke into hell: for wickednesse is in their dwellings, and a∣mong them.

As for mee, I will call vpon God: and the Lord shall saue me.

In the euening & morning, and at noone day will I pray, and that instantly: and he shall heare my voyce.

It is hee that hath deliuered my soule in peace, from the battaile that was against me: for thre were many with me.

Yea, euen God that endureth for euer shall shall heare me, and bring them downn: for they will not turne, nor feare God.

Hee laid his hands vpon such as be at peace with him: and he brake his couenant.

The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter, hauing warre in his heart: his words were smoother then oyle, and yet be they very swords.

O cast thy burden vpon the Lorde, and hee shall nourish thee: and shall not suffer the righteous to fall for euer.

And as for them: thou, O God, shall bring them into the pit of destruction.

The bloodthirstie and deceitfull men shall not liue out halfe their dayes: neuerthelesse, my trust shall bee in thee, O Lord.

Miserere mei Deus. Psal. 56.

BE mereifull vnto me, * 1.21 O God, for man goeth about to deuoure mee: he is dayly fighting and troubling me.

Mine enemies are daily in hand to swallow me vp: for they be ma∣ny that fight against mee, O thou most Highest.

Neuerthelesse, though I am sometime afraide: yet put I my trust in thee.

I will praise God because of his word: I haue put my trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.

They dayly mistake my wordes: all that they imagine, is to doe me euill.

They holde all together, and keepe themselues close: and marke my steps, when they lay waite for my soule.

Shall they escape for their wickednesse: thow, O God, in thy displeasure shalt cast them downe.

Thou tel••st my flittings, put my teares into thy bottell: are not these things noted in thy booke?

Whensoeuer I call vpon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to slighy: this I know, for God is on my side.

In Gods word will I reioyce: in the Lords word will I comfort me.

Yea in God haue I put my trust: I will not bee afraide what man can doe vnto me.

Vnto thee, O God, will I pay my vowes: vnto thee will I giue thankes.

For thou hast deliuered my soule frō death, & my feet form falling: that I may walke before God in y^e light of the liuing.

Miserere mei Deus. Psal.57.

Be merecifull vnto me, O God, be merrifull vnto me, for my soule trusteth in thee: and vnder the shadow of thy wings shalbe my refuge, vntill this tyrannie be ouerpast.

I will cal vnto the most high God: euen vnto the God that shall performe the cause which I haue in hand.

He shall send from heauen: and saue me from the reproof of him that would eat me vp.

God shall send forth his mercie and trueth: my soule is a∣mong Lions.

And I lie euen amoung the children of men (that are set on fire:) whose teeth are speares and arrowes, and their tongue a sharpe sword.

Set vp thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauns: and chy glory aboue all the earth.

They haue layd a net for my feet, and pressed downe my soule: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the middes of it themselues.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and giue praise.

Awake vp my glory, awake Lute and Harpe: I my selfe will awake right early.

I will giue thanks vnto thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing vnto thee among the nations.

For the greatnes of thy mercie reacheth vnto the heauens: and thy trueth vnto the cloudes.

Set vp thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens: and thy glo∣ry about all the earth.

Si vere vtique. Psal.58.

ARe your minds set vpō righteousnes, O ye congregation: and do ye iudge y^e thing that is right, O ye sonnes of men?

Yea, yee imagine mischiefe in your heart vpon the earth: and your hands deale with wickednesse.

The vngodly are froward euen frō their monthers womb: assoone as they be borne, they goe astray and speake lies.

They are as venemous as the poison of a Serpent: euen like the deafe Adder that stoppeth her eares.

Which refuseth to heare the voice of the charmer: charme he neuer so wisely.

Breake their teeth (O God) in their mouthes, smite the iawe boues of the Lions, O Lord: let them fall away like water that tunneth apace, and when they shoote their ar∣rowes, let them be rooted out.

Let them consume away like a Snaile, and be like the

vntimely fruit of a woman: and let them not see the funne.

Or euer your pots be made hot with thrones: so let indig∣nation vexe him, euen as a thing that is rame.

The righteous shall reioice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the vngodly.

So that a man shall say, Verely there is a reward for the righteous: doubtlesse there is a God that iudgeth the earth.

Eripe me de inimicis. Psal.59.

DEliuer me from mine enemies, * 1.22(O God:) defend mee from them that rise against me.

O deliuer mee from the wicked doers: and saue me from the blood∣thirsty men.

For loe, they lie waiting for my soule: the mighty men are gathe∣red aganist mee, without any of∣fence or fanlt of me, O Lord.

They runne and prepare themselues without my fault: a∣rife thou therefore to help me, and behold.

Stand vp(O Lord God of hostes) thou God of Israel, to viste all the heathen: and be not mercifull vnto them that of∣send of malicious wickednesse.

They go to and fro in the euening: they grinne like a dog, and runne about thorow the citie.

Behold, they speake with their mouth, and swords are in their lips: for who doeth heare?

But thou, O Lord, shall haue them in derison: and thou shalt laugh all the heathen to scorne.

My strength wil I aseribe vnto thee: for thou art the God of my refuge.

God sheweth me his goodnesse plenteonsly: and God shal let me see desire bpon mine enemies.

Slay them not, left my people forget it; but scatter them a∣broad among the people, and put them downe, O Lord, our defence.

For the sinne their mouth, and for the wordes of their

lippes, they shalbe taken in their pride: and why? their prea∣ching is of cursing and lies.

Consume them in thy wrath, consume them, that they may perish: and know that it is God which ruleth in Iacob, and vnto the ends of the world.

And in the euening they wil returne: grinne like a Dog, and will goe about the citie.

They will runne here and there for meate: and grudge if they be not satisfied.

As for mee, I will sing of thy power, and will praise thy mercie betimes in the morning: for thou hast been my Defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Vnto thee (O my strength) will I sing: for thou, O God, art my refuge, and my mercifull God.

Deus repulisti nos. Psal.60.

O God, thou hast cast vs out, and scattered vs abroad: thou hast also bene displeascd, O turne thec vnto vs againe.

Thou hast moued the land, and deuided it: heale the fores thereof, for it shaketh.

Thou hast shewed thy people heauie things: thou hast giuen vs a drinke of deadly wine.

Thou hast giuen a token for such as feare thee: that they may triumph because of the trueth.

Therefore were thy beloued deliuered: help me with thy rtght hand and heare me.

God hath spoken in his holinesse, I will reioyce and diuide Sichem: and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine, and Manasses is mine: Ephraim also is the streangth of my head, Iuda is my lawgiuer.

Moab is my washpot, ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: Philistia be thou glad of me.

Who will leade me into the strong citie: who will bring me into Edom?

Hast thou not cast vs out, O God: will not thou, O God, go out with our hostes?

O be thou out help in trouble: for baine is the help of man.

Through God wil we doe great actes: for it is he that shal tread downe our enemies.

Exaudi Deus. Psal.61.

HEare my crying, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.

From the ends of the earth wil I call vnto thee: when my heart is in heauinesse.

O set me vp vpon the rocke that is higher then I: for thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower for mee against the e∣nemie.

I will dwell in thy Taberanacle for euer: and my trust shal be vnder the couering of thy wings.

For thou, O Lord, hast heard my desires: and hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.

Thou shall graunt the king a long life: that his yeeres may endure throughout all generations.

He shall dwell before God for euer: O prepare thy louing mercie and faithfulnesse, that they may preserue him.

So will I alwalyes sing prayse bnto thy Name: that I may dayly performe my vowes.

Nonne Deo. Psal.62.

MY soule truely waiteth still vpon God: for of him commeth my sal∣uation. * 1.23

He berely is my strength and my saluation: he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.

How long will ye imagine mis∣chiefe against euery man: ye shall be slaline all the sort of you, yea as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.

Their deuice is onely how to put him out whom God will exalt: their delight is in lies, they giue good words with their mouth, but curse with their herat.

Neuerthelesse, my soule waite thou still vpon God: for my hope is in him.

Hee truely is my strength and my saluation: hee is my de∣fencc, so that I shall not fall.

In GOD is my health and my glorie: the rocke of my

might, and in God is my trust.

O put your trust in him alway (ye people:) powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.

As for the children of men, they are but baine: the children of men are deceitfull vpon the weights, they are altogether lighter then vanitie it selfe.

O trust not in wrong and robberie, giue not your felues vnto vanitie: if riches increase, set not your heart vpon them.

God spake once and wife: I haue also heard the same, that power belongeth vnto God.

And that thou Lord art mereifull: for thou rewardest eue∣ry man according to his worke.

Deus Deus meus. Psal.63.

O God, thou art my God: earely wil I seeke thee.

My soule thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee: in a barren and dry land, where no matter is.

Thus haue I looked for thee in holinesse: that I might behold thy power and glory.

For thy loutng kindenesse is better then the life it selfe: my lips shall prayse thee.

As long as I liue, wil I magnifie thee on this maner: and lift vp my hands in thy name.

My soule shall bee satisfied euen as it were with marowe and fatnesse: when my mouth prayseth thee with ioyfull lips.

Haue I not remembred thee in my bed: and thought bpon thee when I was waking?

Beacause thou hast beene my helper: therefore vnder the shadow of my wings will I reioyce.

My soule hangeth vpon thee: thy right hand hath vphol∣deli me.

These also that seeke the hurt of my soule: they shall go vn∣der the earth.

Lat them fal vpon the edge of the sword: that they may be aportion for forces.

But the King shal reioyce in God, all they also that sweare by him, shalbe commended: for the mouth of them that speak lies, shalbe stopped.

Exaudi Deus. psal. 64.

Heare my boyee, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.

Hide me from the gathering together of the froward: and from the insurrection of the wicked doers.

Which haue whet their tongue like a sword: and shot out there arrowes, euen bitter words.

That they may priuily shoote at him that is perfect: sud∣denly doe they hit him, and feare not

They courage themselues in mischiefe: and commune a∣mong themselues hom they may lay snares, and fay that no man shall see them.

They imagine wickednesse and practise it: that they keepe secret among themselues, euery man in the deep of his heart.

But god shal snddenly shoot at them with a swift arrow: that they shall be wounded.

Yea their owne tongues shall make them fall: in so much that who so feeth them, shal laugh them to srone.

And all men that see it, shall say, This hath God done: for they shall perceiue that it is his worke.

The rightcous shall reioyce in the Lord, and put hist trust in him: and all they that are true of heart, shalbe glad.

Te decet hymnus. Psal. 65.

THou, * 1.24 O God, art praised in Sion: and vnto thee shall the vow bee performed in Hierusalem.

Thou that hearest the prayer: vnto thee shall all flesh come.

My misdeeds preuaile against me: oh be thou merciful vnto our sinnes.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest & receiued vnto thee: he shal dwel in thy court, & shalbe sa∣tisfid with y^e pleasures of thy house, euen of thy holy temple.

Thou shall shewe vs wonderfull things in thy righteous∣nes, O God of our saluation: thou that art the hope of all the endes of the earth, and of them that remaine in the broad sea.

Which in his streangth setteth fast the mountaines; and is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 about with power.

Which stilleth the raging of the Sea: and the noise of his waues, and the madnesse of his people.

They also that dwell in the vettermost parts of the earth, shall be afraid at thy tokens: thou that makest the outgoings of the morning and euning to praise thee.

Thou bistest the earth, and blessest it: thou makest it very plenteous.

The riuer of God is full of water: thou preparest their corne, for so thou prouidest for the earth.

Thou waterest her furrowes, thou sendest raine into the little valleyes thereof: thou makest it soft with the drops of raine, and blessest the increase of it.

Thou crownest the yeere with thy goodnesse: and thy clouds drop fatnesse.

They shall drop vpon the dwellings of the wildernesse: and the lilttle hilles shall reioice on euery side.

The folds shalbe ful of sheepe: the ballelyes also shal stand so thicke with corne, that they shall laugh and sing.

Iubilate Deo. Psal. 66.

O Be ioyfull in God all ye lands: sing praises vnto the ho∣nour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.

Say vnto God, O howe wonderfull art thou in thy workes: through the greatnesse of thy power shal thine ene∣mies be found liars bnto thee.

For all the word shal worship thee: sing of thee, and praise thy Name.

O come hither: and behold the morks of God: how won∣derfull he is in his doing to ward the children of men.

He turned the sea into drie land: so that they went through the water on foote, there did we reioice thereof.

He ruleth with his power for euer, his eyes behold the people: and such as will not beleeue, shal not be able to exalt themselues.

O praise our God (yee people:) and make the voice of his prayse to be heard.

Which holdeth our soule in life: and suffereth not out

feete to slippe.

For thou (O God) hast proued vs: thou also hast tried vs, like as siluer is tried.

Thou broughtest vs into the snare: and layedst trouble vp∣on our loynes.

Thou sufferedest men to ride ouer our heads: wee went thorow fire and water, and thou broughtest vs out into a wealthy place.

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: and wil pay thee my bowes which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth when I was in trouble.

I will offer vnto thee fat burnt sacrifices, with the incense of rammes: I will offer bullockes and goats.

O come hither, and bearken all ye that feare God: and I will tell you what he hath done for my soule.

I called vnto him with my mouth: and gaue himpraises with my tongue.

If I incline vnto wickednesse with my heart: the Lorde will not heare me.

But God hath heared me: and considered the voyce of my prayer.

Praised bee God, which hath not cast out my prayer: nor turned his mercie from me.

Deus misereatur. Psal.67.

GOd be mercifull vnto vs and blcsse vs: ant shewe vs the light of his countenance, and be mercifull vnto bs.

That thy way may be knowen bpon earth: thy sauing health among all nations.

Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations reioyce and be glad, for thou shall iudge the folke righteoufly: and gouerne the nations vpon earth.

Let the people prase thee, O God: let all the people praise thee.

Then shall the earth bring foorth her increase: and God, euen our owne God, shall giue vs his blessing.

God shal blesse bs: and all the ends of the world sbal feare him.

Exurgat Deus. Psal. 68.

LEt God arise, * 1.25 anb let his enemies bee scattered: let them also that hate him, slee before him.

Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shall thou briue them away: and like as ware melteth at the fire, so let the vngodly perith at the presence of God.

But let the righteous bee glad and reioyce before God: let them also be ney and ioyfull.

O sing vnto God, and sing praises vnto his Nmme: mag∣nifie him that rideth vpon the heauens as it were vpon an horse, praise him in his Name, yea, and reioyce before him.

He is father of the fatherlesse, and defendeth the cause of the widomes: euen God in his holy habitation.

He is the God that maketh men to bee of one minde in an house, and bringeth the prisoners out of captiuitie: but letteth the runnagates continue in scarcenesse.

O God, when thou wentest forth before the people: when thou wentest through the wildernesse.

The earth shooke, & the heauens dropped at the presence of God: enen as Sinai also was mooueb at the presence of God, which is the God of Israel.

Thou, O God, sentest a gracious raine vpon thine inheri∣tance: and refreshedst it when it was wearie.

Thy congregation shall dwell therein: for thou, O God, hast of the goodnesse prepared for the poore.

The Lord gaue the word: great was the companie of the preachers.

Kings with their armies did flee and were discomfited: and they of the houshold diuided the spoile.

Though ye haue lien among the pots, yet shal ye be as the wings of a Doue: that is conered with siluer wings, and her feathers like golde.

When the Almightie scattered kings for their sake: then were they as white as snow in Salmon.

As the hill of Basan, so is Gods hill: euen an high hill, as the hill of Basan.

Why hop yee so yee high hils? this is Gods hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell: yea, the Lord will abide in it for euer.

The charets of God are twenty thousand, euen thousands of Angels: and the Lord is among them as in the holy place of Sinai.

Thou art gone vp on high, thou hast led captiuitie captiue, and receiued gifts for men: yea, euen for thy enemies, that the Lord might dwell among them.

Praised be the Lorde daily: euen the God which helpeth vs, and powreth his benefits vpon vs.

He is our God, euen the God of whom comuneth saluation: God is the Lord, by whom we escape death.

GOD shall wounde the head of his enemies: and the hairie scalpe of such a one as goeth on still in his wicked∣nesse.

The Lord hath said, I wil bring my people againe, as I did from Basan: mine owne will I bring againe, as I did sometime from the deepe of the sea.

That thy foote may be dipped in the blood of thine ene∣mies: and that the tongue of thy dogs may bee red through the same.

It is well seene, O God, how thou goest: howe thou my God and King goest in the Sanctuarie.

The singers goe before, the minstrels follow after: in the middest are the damosels playing with their timbrels.

Giue thankes, O Israel, vnto God the Lord in the Con∣gregations: from the ground of the heart.

There is litle Beniamin their ruler, and the princes of Iu∣da their counsaile: the princes of Zabulon, and the princes of Nephthali.

Thy God hath sent foorth strength for thee: stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in vs.

For thy Temples sake at Hierusalem: so shal Kings bring presents vnto thee.

When the companie of the spearemen, and multitude of

the mightie are scattered abroad among the beastes of the people (so that they humbly bring pieces of siluer:) and when he hath scattered the people that delight in warre.

Then shall the princes come out of Egypt: the Morians land shall soone stretch out her hands vnto God.

Sing vnto God, O yee kingdomes of the earth: O sing praises vnto the Lord.

Which sitteth in the heauens ouer all from the beginning: loe, he doth send out his voyce, yea, and that a mightie voyce.

Ascribe yee the power to God ouer Isral: his worship and strength is in the cloudes.

O God, wonderfull art thou in thy holy places: euen the God of Isral, he will giue strength and power vnto his peo∣ple, blessed be God.

Saluum me. Psal. 69.

SAue mee, * 1.26 O God: for the waters are come in, euen vnto my soule.

I stick fast in the deepe myre where no ground is: I am come into deepe waters, so that the floods run ouer me.

I stick fast in the deepe myre where no ground is: I am come into deepe waters, so that the floods run ouer me.

I am wearie of crying, my throat is dry: my sight faileth me for waiting so long vpon my God.

They that hate me without a canse, are moe then the haires of my head: they that are mine enemies, and would destroy me guiltlesse, are mightie.

I paide them the things that I neuer tooke: God thou knowest my simplenesse, and my faults are not hid from thee.

Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashmmed for my cause: let not those that seeke thee, bee con∣founded through me, O Lord God of Israel.

And why? for thy sake haue I suffered reproose: shame hath couered my face.

I am become a stranger vnto my brethren: euen an aliant vnto my mothers children.

For the zeale of thy house hath euen eaten me: and th re∣bukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.

I wept and chasened my selfe with fasting: and that was turned to my reproofe.

I put on a fackcloth also: and they iested vpon me.

They that sit in the gate speake against me: and the drun∣kards make songs vpon me.

But Lord, I make my prayer vnto thee: in an acceptable time.

Heare me, O God, in the multitude of thy mercie: euen in the trueth of thy saluation.

Take me out of the myre, that I sinke not: Oh let mee be deliuered from them that hate mee, and out of the deepe waters.

Let not the water flood drowne mee, neithr let the deepe swallow mee vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon mee.

Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnesse is comforta∣ble: turne thee vnto mee, according to the multitude of thy mercies.

And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trou∣ble: Oh haste thee, and heare me.

Draw nigh vnto my soule, and saue it: Oh deliuer me, be∣cause of mine enemies.

Thou hast knowen my reproofe, my shame, and my disho∣nour: mine aduersaries are all in thy sight.

Thy rebuke hath broken my heart, I am ful of heauines: I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was no man, neither found I any to comfort me.

They gaue me gall to eat: and when I was thirstie, they gaue me vineger to drinke.

Let their table be made a snare to take themselues with∣all: and let the things, that should haue bene for their wealth, be vnto them an occasion of falling.

Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and euer bow downe their backes.

Powre out thine indignation vpon them: & let thy wrath∣full displeasure take hold of them.

Let their habitation be void: and no man to dwell in their tents.

For they perseeute him whom thou hast smitten: and they talke how they may vere them whom thou hast wounded.

Let them fall from one wickednesse to another: and not come into thy righteousnesse.

Let them be wiped out of the booke of the liuing: and not be wirtten among the righteous.

As for me, when I am poore and in heauinesse: thy helpe, O God, shall lift me vp.

I will praise the Name of God with a song: and magnifie it with thankesgiuing.

This also shal please the Lord: better then a bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.

The humble shall consider this, and be glad: seeke ye after God, and your soule shall liue.

For the Lord heareth the poore: and despiseth not his pri∣soners.

Let heauen and earth praise him: the sea and all that mo∣ueth therein.

For God will saue Sion, and build the cities of Iuda: that men may dwell there, and haue it in possession.

The posteritie also of his seruants shal inherit it: and they that loue his Name, shall dwell therem.

Deus in adiutorium. Psal. 70.

HAste thee, O God, to deliuer me: make haste to helpe me, O Lord.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backward and put to confusion that with me euill.

Let them for their reward be soone brought to shame: that crie ouer me, There, there.

But let all those that seeke thee, be ioyfull and glad in thre: and let all such as delight in thy saluation, say alway, The Lord be praised.

As for me, I am poore and in miserie: haste thee vnto me, O God.

Thou art my helper and my redeemer: O Lord make no long tarying.

In te Domine speraui. Psal. 71.

IN thee, * 1.27 O Lord, haue I put my trust, let me neuer be put to confu∣sion: but rid me, and deliuer me in thy rigteousnesse, encline thine eare vnto me, and saue me.

Be thou my strong hold, where∣unto I may alway resort: thou hast promised to helpe me, for thou art my house of defence, & my castle.

Deliuer me, O my God, out of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hand of the vngodly: out of the hand of the vnrighteous and cruell man.

For thou, O Lord God, art the thing that I long for: thou art my hope, euen from my youth.

Through thee haue I beene holden vp euer since I was borne: thou art he that tooke me out of my mothers wombe, my praise shalbe alway of thee.

I am become as it where a monster vnto many: but my sure trust is in thee.

O let my mouth be filled with thy praise: that I may sing of thy glory, and honour all the day long.

Caft me not away in the time of age: forsake me not when my stregth faileth me.

For mine enemies speake against me, & they that lay waite for my soule, take their counsell together, saying: God hath forsaken him, persecute him, and take him, for there is none to deliuer him.

Go not far frō me, O God: my God, haste thee to helpe me.

Let them be confounded and perish, that are against my soule: let them bee couered with shame and dishonour, that seeke to doe me euill.

As for me, I will patiently abide alway: and will praise thee more and more.

My mouth shall daily speake of thy righteousnesse and sal∣uation: for I know no end thereof.

I will goe fooeth in the strength of the Lord God: and wil make mention of thy righteousnesse onely.

Thou, O God, hast taught mee from my youth vp vntill now: therefore will I tell of thy wondrous workes.

Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am gray headed: vntill I haue shewed thy stength vnto this genera∣tion, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

Thy righteousnes, O God, is very high: and great things are they that thou hast done, O God, who is like vnto thee?

O what great troubles and aduersities hast thou shewed me, and yet diddest thou turne and refresh me: yea, & brough∣test me from the deepe of the earth againe.

Thou hast brought me to great honour: and comforted me on euery side.

Therefore wil I praise thee and thy faithfulnes (O God) playing vpon an instrument of musicke: vnto thee will I sing vpon the Harpe, O thou holy one of Israel.

My lippes will be saine when I sing vnto thee: and so will my soule whom thou hast deliuered.

My tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnes all the day long: for they are confounded and brought vnto shame that seeke to doe me euill.

Deus iudicium. Psal. 72.

GIue the king thy iudge••ents (O God:) and thy righre∣ousnesse vnto the kings sonne.

Then shall he iudge the people according vnto right: and defend the poore.

The mountaines also shall bring peace: and the little hilles rightwousnes vnto the people.

Hee shall keepe the simple folke by their right: defend the children of the poore, and punish the wrong doer.

They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone en∣dureth: from one generation to another.

He shall come downe like the raine into a sleece of wooll: euen as the droppes that water the earth.

In his time shall the righteous flourish: yea, and aboun∣dance of peace, so long as the Moone endureth.

His dominion shall be also from the one Sea to the other: and from the flood vnto the worlds end.

They that dwell in the wildernes shall kneele before him: his enemies shall licke thy dust.

The kings of Tharsis and of the Iles shall giue presents: the Kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts.

All Kings shall fall downe before him: all nations shall doe him seruice.

For the shall deliuer the poore when hee cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.

He shall be fauourable to the sinple and needie: and shall preserue the soules of the poore.

He shall deliuer their soules from falsehoode and wrong: and deare shall their blood be in his sight.

He shall liue, and vnto him shalbe giuen of the gold of Ara∣bia: prayer shal be made euer vnto him, and dayly shall he be Praysed.

There shalbe an heape of corne in the earth high vpon the hilles: his fruit shall shake like Libanus, and shalbe greene in the citie, like grasse vpon the earth.

His Name shall endure for euer, his Name shall remaine vnder the sunne among the posterities: which shall be blessed through him, and all the heathen shall praise him.

Blessed be the Lord God, euen the God of Israel: which onely doeth wonderous things.

And blessed be the Name of his Maiestie for euer: and all the earth shall be filled with his Maiestie. Amen, Amen.

Quàm bonus Israel. Psal. 73.

TRuely God is loung vnto Israel: cuen vnto such as are of a cleane heart. * 1.28

Neuertheles, my feete were almost gone: my treadings had welning slipt.

And why? I was grieued at the wicked: I doe also fee the ungodly in such prosperitie.

For they are in no perill of death: but are lustie and strong.

They come in no misfortune like other folke: neither are they plagued like other men.

And this is the cause that they be so holden with pride: and ouerwhelmed with crurltie.

Their eies swel with fatnes: & they do euen what they lust.

They corrupt other, and speake of wicked blasphemy: their talking is against against the most highest.

For they stretch foorth their mouth vnto the heauen: and their tongue goeth through the world.

Therefore fall the people vnto them: and thereout sucke they no small aduantage.

Tush (say they) how should God perceiue it: is there know∣ledge in the most highest?

Loe, these are the vngodly, these prosper in the world, and these haue riches in possession: & I said, Then haue I clean∣fed my heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.

All the day long haue I bene punished: and chastened eue∣ry morning.

Yea, and I had almost sayde euen as they: but loe, then should I haue condemned the generation of thy children.

Then thought I to vnderstand this: but it was too hard for me.

Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnder∣stood I the end of these men.

Namely how thou doest set them in slipperie places: and castest them downe, and destroyest them.

Oh how suddenly doe they consume: perish, and come to a fearefull end?

Yea, euen like as a dreame when one awaketh: so shalt thou make their image to vanish out of the citie.

Thus my heart was grieued: and it went euen through my reines.

So foolish was I and ignorant: euen as it were a beast before thee.

Neuerthelesse, I am alway by thee: for thou hast holden me by my right hand.

Thou shall guide me with thy counsaile: and after that re∣ceiue me with glory.

Whom haue I in heauen but thee: and there is none vpon earth that I desire in comparison of thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer.

For loe, they that forsake thee shall perish: thou hast de∣stroyed all them that commit fornication against thee.

But it is good for mee to holde me fast by God, to put my trust in the Lord God: and to speake of all thy workes (in the gates of the daughter of Sion.)

Vt quid Deus. Psal. 74.

O God, wherefore art thou absent from vs so long: why is thy wrath so hote against the sheepe of thy pasture?

O thinke vpon thy Congregation: whome thou hast purchased and redeemed of olde.

Thinke vpon vpon the tribe of thine inheritance: and mount Sion wherein thou hast dwelt.

Lift vp thy feete, that thou mayest vtterly destroy euery enemie: which hath done euil in thy Sanctuary.

Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congrega∣tious: and set vp their banners for to tokens.

Hee that hewed timber afore out of the thicke trees: was knowen to bring it to an excellent worke.

But now they breake downe all the carued worke therof: with axes and hammers.

They haue set fire vpon thy holy places: and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name, euen vnto the ground.

Yea, they said in their hearts, let vs make hauocke of them altogether: thus haue they burnt vp all the houses of God in the land.

We see not our tokens, there is not one Prophet more: no not one is there among vs that vnderstandeth any more.

O God, how long syall the aduersary doe this dishonour: holy long shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name, for euer?

Why withdrawest thou thy hand: Why pluckest not thou thy right hand out of thy bosome to consume the enemie?

For God is my king of olde: the helpe that is done vpon earth, he doeth it himselfe.

Thou diddest diuide the sea through thy power: thou bra∣kest the heads of the Dragons in the maters.

Thou sinotest the heads of Liuiathan in pieces: and ga∣uest him to be meate for the people in the Wildernesse.

Thou broughtest out fountains and waters out of the hard rockes: thou driedst vp mightie Waters.

The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou haft made Sommer and Winter.

Remember this, O Lord, how the enemie hath rebuked: and how the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.

O deliuer not the soule of thy Turtle Doue vnto the mul∣titude of the enemies: and forget not the congregation of the poore for euer.

Looke vpon the couenant: for all the earth is full of dark∣nesse, and cruell habitations.

Oh let not the simple goe away ashamed: but let the poore and needie giue praise vnto thy Name.

Arise, O God, maintaine thine owne cause: remember how the foolish man blasphemeth thee dayly.

Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the presumption of them that hate thee, increaseth euer more and more.

Confitebimur tibi. Psal. 75.

VNto thee, * 1.29 O God, doe We giue thanks: yea, vnto thee doe we giue thankes.

Thy Name also is so nigh: and that doe thy wonderous workes declare.

When I receiue the Congregation: I shall iudge according vnto right.

The earth is weake, and all the inha∣biters thereof: I beare vp the pillars of it.

I said vnto the fooles, Deale not so madly: and to the vngodly, Set not vp your horne.

Set not vp your horne on high: and speake not with a stiffe necke.

For promotion commeth neither from the East nor from the West: nor yet from the South.

And why? God is the Iudge: he putteth downe one, and setteth vp another.

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same.

As for the dregs thereof: all the vngodly of the earth shall drinke them, and sucke them out.

But I will talke of the God of Iacob: and praise him for euer.

All the hornes of the vngodly also will I breake: and the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.

Notus in Iudea. Psalm 76.

IN Iurie is God knowen: his Name is great in Israel.

At Salem is his tabernacle: and his dwelling in Sion.

There brake he the arrowes of the bowe: the shield, the sword, and the battaile.

Thou art of more honour and might: then the hils of the robbers.

The proud are robbed, they haue slept their sleepe: and all the men, whole hands were mightie, haue found nothing.

At thy rebuke, O God of Iacob: both the charet and horse are fallen.

Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy fight when thou art angry?

Thou diddest cause thy iudgement to be heard from hea∣uen: the earth trembled and was still.

When God arose to indgement: and to helpe all the meeke vpon earth.

The fiercenesse of man shall turne to thy praise: and the fiercenesse of them shalt thou refraine.

Promise vnto the Lord your God, and keepe it, all yee that be round about him bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.

He shall refraine the spirit of princes: and is wonderfull a∣mong the kings of the earth.

Voce mea ad Dominum. Psal. 77.

I Will crie vnto God with my voice: euen vnto God will I crie with my voice, and he shall hearken vnto me.

In the time of my trouble I sought the Lord: my fore ranne and ceased not, in the night season my soule refused comfort.

When I am in heauinesse, I will thinke vpon God: when my heart is vexed, I will complaine.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so feeble that I cannot speake.

I haue considered the dayes of olde: and the yeeres that are past.

I call to remembrance my song: and in the night I com∣mune with mine owne heart, and search out my spirits.

Will the Lord absent himselfe for euer: and will hee be no more intreated?

Is his mercy cleane gone for euer: and is his promise come vtterly to an end for euermore?

Hath God forgotten to be gracious: and wil he shut vp his louing kindnesse in displeasure?

And I said, It is mine owne infirmitie: but I wil remem∣ber the yeeres of the right hand of the most highest.

I will remember the works of the Lord: and call to mind thy wonders of old time.

I will thinke also of all thy workes: and my talking shall be of thy doings.

Thy way, O God is holy: who is so great a God (as our God?)

Thou art the God that doth wonders: and hast declared thy power among the people.

Thou hast mightily deliuered thy people: euen the sonnes of Iacob and Ioseph

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters sawe thee, and were afraid: the depthes also were troubled.

The cloudes powred out water, the aire thundered: and thine arrowes went abroad.

The voice of thy thunder was heard round about: the lightnings shone vpon the ground, the earth was mooued, and shooke withall.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy pathes in the great waters: and thy footsteps are not knowen.

Thou leddest thy people like sheepe: by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Attendite popule. Psal. 78.

HEare my Lawe, * 1.30 O my people: encline your eares vnto the words of my mouth.

I wil open my mouth in a parable: I wil declare hard sentences of olde.

Which we haue heard and knowen: and such as our fathers haue tolde vs.

That wee should not hide them from the children of the generations to come: but to shewe the honour of the Lorde, his mightie and wonderfull workes that hee hath done.

He made a couenant with Iacob, and gaue Israel a Law: which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children.

That their posteritie might knowe it: and the children which were yet vnborne.

To the intent that when they came vp: they might shewe their children the same.

That they might put their trust in God: and not to forget the workes of God, but to keepe his commandements.

And not to bee as their forefathers, a faithlesse and stub∣burne generation: a generation that set not their heart a∣right, and whose spirit cleaueth not stedfastly vnto God.

Like as the children of Ephraim: which being harnessed and carying bowes, turned themselues backe in the day of battaile.

They kept not the couenant of God: and would not walke in his Law.

But forgate what he had done: and the wonderfull worke that he had shewed for them.

Marueilous things did hee in the sight of our forefathers in the land of Egypt: euen in the field of Zoan.

He dinided the sea, and let them goe through: he made the waters to stand on an heape.

In the day time also he led them with a cloud: and all the night through with a light of fire.

Hee claue the hard rockes in the wildernesse: and gaue them drinke thereof, as it had bene out of the great depth.

He brought waters out of the stonie rocke: so that it gushed out like the riuers.

Yet for all this they sinned more against him: and prouoked the most highest in the wildernesse.

They tempted God in their hearts: and required meat for their lust.

They spake against God also, saying: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse?

Hee smote the stonie rocke deede, that the water gushed out, and the streames flowed withall: but can hee giue bread also, or prouide flesh for his people?

When the Lord heard this, he was wroth: so the fire was kindled in Iacob, and there came vp heauie displeasure a∣gainst Israel.

Because they beleeued not in God: and put not their trust in his helpe.

So hee commaunded the cloudes aboue: and opened the doores of heauen.

Hee rained downe Manna also vpon them for to eate and gaue them food from heauen.

So man did eate Angels foode: for hee sent them meate ynough.

Hee caused the Cast winde to blowe vnder heauen: and through his power he brought in the Southwest winde.

He rained flesh vpon them as thicke as dust: and feathered foules like as the sand of the sea.

He let it fall among their tents: euen round about their ha∣bitation.

So they did eate and were well filled, for hee gaue them their owne desire: they were not disappointed of their lust.

But while the meat was yet in their mouthes, the heauie wrath of God came vpon them, & flue the wealthiest of them: yea, and smote downe the chosen men that were in Israel.

But for all this they sinned yet more: and beleeued not his wonderous workes.

Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie: and their yeeres in trouble.

When hee flewe them, they sought him: and turned them

earely, and enquired after God.

And they remembred that God was their strength: and that the high God was their redeemer.

Neuerthelesse, they did but flatter him with their mouth: and dissembled with him in their tongue.

For their heart was not whole with him: neither conti∣nued they stedfast in his couenant.

But he was so mercifull that forgaue their misdeedes: and destroyed them not.

Yea many a time turned hee his wrath away: and would not suffer his whole displeasure to arise.

For hee considered that they were but flesh: and that they were euen a winde that passeth away, and commeth not a∣gaine.

Many a time did they prouoke him in the wildernesse: and grieued him in the desert.

They turned backed, and tempted God: and mooued the holy one in Israel.

They thought not of his hande: and of the day when hee deliuered them from the hand of the enemie.

How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt: and his won∣ders in the field of Zoan.

He turned their waters into blood: so that they might not drinke of the riuers.

He sent lice among them, and deuoured them vp: & frogs to destroy them.

He gaue their fruite vnto the Caterpiller: and their labour vnto the Grashopper.

He destroyed their Vines with hailestones: and their Mul∣berie trees with the frost.

He smote their cattel also with hailestones: and their flocks with hot thunderbolts.

He cast vpon them the furiousnesse of his wrath, anger, dis∣pleasure, and trouble: and sent euill angels among them.

Hee made a way to his indignation, and spared not their soule from dearth: but gaue their life ouer to the pestilence.

And smote all the first borne in Egypt: the most principall and mightiest in the dwellings of Ham.

But as for his owne people, he led them foorth like sheepe: and caried them in the wildernesse like a slocke.

He brought them out safely that they should not feare: and ouerwhelmed their enemies with the sea.

And brought them within the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to his mountaine which hee purchased with his right hand.

He cast out the heathen also before them: caused their land to be diuided among them for an heritage, and made the tribes of Isael to dwell in their tents.

So they tempted and displeased the most high God: and kept not his testimonies.

But turned their backes, and fell away like their forefa∣thers: starting aside like a broken bow.

For they grieued him with their hill altars: and prouoked him to displeasure with their images.

When God heard this, he was wroth: and tooke fore displeasure at Israel.

So that he forsooke the Tabernacle in Slid: euen the rent that he had pitched among them.

He deliuered their power into captiuitie: and their beautie into the enemies hand.

Hee gaue his people ouer also vnto the sworde: and was wroth with his inheritance.

The fire consumed their young men: and their maydens were not giuen to mariage.

Their Priests were slaine with the sword: and three were no widowes to make lamentation.

So the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe: and like a Gi∣ant refreshed with wine.

Hee smote his enemies in the hinder parts: and put them to a perpetuall shame.

He refused the Tabernacle of Ioseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim.

But chose the tribe of Iuda: euen the hill of Sion, which he loued.

And there he builded his temple on high: and laid the foun∣dation of it like the ground which he hath made continually.

He chose Dauid also his seruant: and tooke him away from the sheepe foldes.

As he was following the Ewes great with yong ones, he tooke him: that he might feede Iacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

So he fed them with a faithfull and true heart: and ruled them prudently with all his power.

Deus, venerunt. Psal. 79.

O God, * 1.31 the heathen are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple haue they defiled, and made Hie∣rusalem an heape of stones.

The dead bodies of thy fer∣uants haue they giuen to be meate vnto the foules of the ayre: and the flesh of thy saints vnto the beastes of the land.

Their blood haue they shed like water on euery side of Hierusa∣lem: and there was no man to burie them.

Wee are become an open shame to our enemies: a very scorne and derision vnto them that are round about vs.

Lorde, how long wilt thou bee angrie: shal thy ielousie burne like fire for euer?

Power out thine indignation vpon the heathen that haue not knowen thee: and vpon the kingdomes that haue not cal∣led vnto thy name.

For they haue deuoured Iacob: and laid waste his dwel∣ling place.

O remember not our old sinnes, but haue mercie vpon vs, and that soone: for we are come to great miserie.

Helpe vs, O God of our saluation, for the glory of thy name: O deliuer vs, and be mercifull vnto our sinnes for thy names sake.

Wherefore doe the heathen say: where is now their God?

O let the bengeance of thy seruants blood that is shed: be openly shewed vpon the heathen in our sight.

O let the sorowfull sighing of the prisoners come before

thee: according to the greatnesse of thy power preserue thou those that are appointed to die.

And for the blasphemie where with our neighbours haue blasphemed thee: reward thou them, O Lord, seuen fold into their bosome.

So we that be thy people and sheepe of thy pastare, shall giue thee thankes for euer: and will alway be shewing foorth thy prayse from generation to generation.

Qui regis Israel. Psal. 80.

HEare, O thou shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like a sheepe: shew thy selfe also thou that fittest vpon the Cherubims.

Before Ephraim, Beniamin, and Manasses stirre vp thy strength, and come and helps vs.

Turne vs againe, O God: shew the light of thy counte∣nance, and we shalbe whole.

O Lord God of hostes: how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?

Thou feedest them with the br••au of teares: and giuest them plenteousnesse of teares to or••ke.

Thou hast made vs a very ••rife vnto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh vs to scorue.

Turne vs againe, thou God of hosies: shewe the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Thou madest room•• for it: and when it had taken roote, it filled the land.

The hils were couered with the shadowe of it: and the boughes thereof were like the goodly Cedar trees.

She streched out her branches vnto the sea: & her boughs vnto the riuer.

Why hast thou then broken downe her hedge: that all they which goe by, ••lucke off her grapes?

The wilde Bore out of the wood doth roote it vp: and the wild beasts of the field deuoure it.

Turne th••e againe thou God of hosts, looke downe from heauen: behold, and visite this vine.

And the place of the vineyard, that thy right hand hath plansed: & the branch that thou madest so strong for thy selfe.

It is burnt with fire, and cut downe: and they shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

Let thy hand be vpon the man of thy right hand: and vp∣on the sonne of man whom thou madest so strong for thine owne selfe.

And so will not we goe backe from the: O let vs liue, and we shall call vpon thy name.

Lurne vs againe, O Lord God of hostes: shew the light of thy counte••a••ce, and we shall be whole.

Exultate Deo. Psal. 81.

SIng we merily vnto God our strength: make a cheerefull noyse vnto the God of Iacob.

Take the Psalme, bring hither the Tabret: the merie Harpe, with the Lute.

Blowe vp the Trumpet in the new Moone: euen in the time appointed, and vpon our solemne feast day.

For this was made a statute for Israel: and a ••awe of the God of Iacob.

This hee ordeined in Ioseph for a testimonie: when hee came out of the land of Egypt, and had heard a strange lan∣guage.

I cased his shoulder from the burden: and his hands were deliuered from making the pots.

Thou calledst vpon me in troubles, and I deliuered thee: and heard thee what time as the storme fell vpon thee.

I prooued thee also: at the waters of strife.

Heare, O my people, and I will assure thee, O Israel: if thou wilt hearken vnto me.

There shall no strange God be in thee: neither shalt thou worship any other God.

I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.

But my people would not heare my voyce: and Israel would not obey me.

So I gaue them vp vnto their owne hearts lust: and let them follow their owne imaginations.

O that my people would haue hearkened vnto mee: for if Israel had walked in my wayes.

I should soone haue put downe their enemies: and tur∣ned my hand against their aduersaries.

The haters of the Lorde should haue beene found lyars: but their time should haue endured for euer.

Hee should haue fedde them also with the finest wheate flowre: and with honie out of the stonie rocke should I haue satisfied thee.

Deus stetit. Psal. 82.

GOd standeth in the congregation of princes: hee is a iudge among gods. * 1.32

How long will yee giue wrong iudgement: and accept the persons of the vngodly?

Defend the poore and father∣lesse: see that such as bee in neede and necessitie, haue right.

Deliuer y^e outcast & poore: saue them from the hand of y^e vngodly.

They wil not be learned, nor vnderstand, but walke on still in darknes: all the foundations of the earth be out of course.

I haue said, Ye are gods: and ye all are children of the most Highest.

But ye shall die like men: and fall like one of the princes.

Arise, O God, and iudge thou the earth: for thou shall take all heathen to thine inheritance.

Deus quis similis? Psal. 83.

HOld not thy tongue, O God, keepe not still silence: re∣fraine not thy selfe, O God.

For loe, thine enemies make a murmuring: and they that hate thee, haue lift vp their head.

They haue imagined crastily against thy people: and ta∣ken counsaile against thy secret ones.

They haue said, Come, and let vs roote them out, that they be no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

For they haue cast their heads together with one consent: and are confederate against thee.

The tabernacles of the Edomites and the Ismaelites: the Moabites, and the Hagarenes.

Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech: the Philistines, with them that dwell at Tyre.

Assur also is ioyned vnto them: and haue holpen the chil∣dren of Lot.

But doe thou to them as vnto the Madianites: vnto Si∣sera, and vnto Iabin, at the brooke of Kison.

Which perished at Endor: and became as the doung of the earth.

Make them and their Princes like Oreb and Zeb: yea, make all their Princes like Zeba an Salmana.

Which say, Let vs take to our selues: the houses of God in possession.

O my God, make them like vnto a wheele: and as the stubble before the winde.

Like as the fire that burneth vp the wood: and as the flame that confumeth the mountaines.

Persecute them euen so with thy tempest: and make them afraid with thy storme.

Make their faces ashamed, O Lord: that they may seeke thy name.

Let them be confounded and bexed euer more and more: let them be put to shame and perish.

And they shall know that thou, whose name is Iehouah: art onely the most highest ouer all the earth.

Quam dilecta. Psal. 84.

O How amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hostes!

My soule hath a desire and longing to enter into the Courts of the Lorde: my heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God.

Yea, the sparrowe hath found her an house, and the swal∣low a nest, where she may lay her young: euen thy altars, O Lord of hostes, my King and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be al∣way praysing thee.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are thy wayes.

Which going through the vale of miserie, vse it for a well: and the pooles are filled with water.

They will go from strength to strength: and vnto the God of gods appeareth euery one of them in Sion.

O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iacob.

Behold, O God our defender: and looke vpon the fare of thine anointed.

For one day in thy courts: is better then a thousand.

I had rather bee a doore keeper in the house of my God: then to dwell in the tents of vngodlinesse.

For the Lord God is a light and defence: the Lorde will giue grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that liue a godly life.

O Lord God of hostes: blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee.

Benedixisti Domine. Psal.85.

LOrd, thou art become gracions vnto thy land: thou hast turned away the captuitie of Iacob.

Thou hast forgiuen the offence of thy people: coue∣red all their sinnes.

Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure: and turned thy selfe from thy wrathfull indignation.

Turne vs then, O God our Sauiour: and let thine anger cease from vs.

Wilt thou be displeased at vs for euer: and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?

Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs: that thy peo∣ple may reioyce in thee?

Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord: and grant vs thy saluation.

I will hearken what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shal speake peace vnto his people, and to his saints that they turne not againe.

For his saluation is high them that feare him: that glorie may dwell in our land.

Mercie and trueth are met together: righteousnes & peace

haue kissed each order.

Trueth shall slorish out of the earth and righteousnesse hath looked dowme from heauen.

Yea, the Lord shall shew louing kindnesse: and our land shall giue her increase.

Righteousnesse shall goe before him: and he shall direct his going in the way.

Inclina Domine. Psal. 86.

BOwe downe thine eare, * 1.33 O Lord, and heare mee: for I am poore, and in miserie.

Preserue thou my soule, for I am holy: my God saue thy seruant that putteth his trust in thee.

Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I will call dayly vpon thee.

Comfort the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I list vp my soule.

For thou Lord art good and gracious: and of great mer∣cie vnto all them that call vpon thee.

Giue eare Lord vnto my prayer: and ponder the voyce of mine humble desires.

In the time of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.

Among the good there is none like vnto thou, O Lorde: there is not one that can doe as thou doest.

All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and wor∣ship thee, O Lord: and shall glorisie thy name.

For thou art great, and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.

Teach mee thy may, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: O knit my heart vnto thee, y^t I may feare thy name:

I will thanke thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and will praise thy Name for euermore.

For great is thy mercie toward me: and thou hast deliue∣red my soule from the nethermost hell.

O God, the proud are risen as against me: and the Congre∣gations

of naughty men haue sought after my soule, and haue not set thee before their eyes.

But thou (O Lord God) art full of compassion and) mer∣tie: long suffering, plenteous in goodnesse and trueth.

O turne thee then vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon mee: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and helpe the sonne of thine handmaid.

Shew some good token vpon me for good, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed: because thou Lord hast holpen me, and comforten me.

Fundamentaeius. Psal. 87.

HEr foundations are vpon the holy hils: the Lord loueth the gates of Sion, more then all the dwellings of Iacob.

Very excellēt thigs are spokē of thee: thou city of God.

I will thinke vpou Rahab and Babylon: With them that know me.

Behold ye the Philistims also: and they of Tyre, with the Morians, loe, there was he borne.

And of Sion it shalbe reported, that he was borne in her: and the most High shall stablish her.

The Lord shall rehearse it when he writeth vp the people: that he was borne there.

The fingers also and trumpetters shall hee rehearse: all my fresh sprmgs shall be in thee.

Domine Deus. Psal.88.

O Lord God of my saluation, I haue cryed day and night before thee: O let my prayer enter into thy presence, en∣cline thine eare vnto my calling.

For my soule is full of trouble: and my life draweth nigh vnto hell.

I am counted as one of them that goe downe into the pit: and I haue beene euen as a man that hath no strength.

Free among the dead, like vnto them that be wounded and lie in the graue: which be out of remembrance, and are cut a∣way from thy hand.

Thou hast layde me in the lowest pitte: in a place of darke∣nesse, and in the deepe.

Thine indignation lyeth hard vpon mee: and thou hast

bexed me with all thy stormes.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance farre from mee: and made me to be abhorred of them.

I am so fast in prison: that I cannot get foorth.

My sight faileth for very trouble: Lord, I haue called dai∣ly vpon thee, I haue stretched out mine hands vnto thee.

Doest thou shewe wonders among the dead: or shall the dead rise vp againe and praise thee?

Shall thy louing kindnesse be shewed in the graue: or thy faithfulnesse in destruction?

Shall thy wonderous works be knowen in the darke: and thy righteousnes in the land where all things are forgotten?

Vnto thee haue I cried, O Lord: and earely shall my prayer come before thee.

Lorde, why abhorrest thou my soule: and hidest thou thy face from me?

I am in miserie, and like vnto him that is at the point to die: (euen from my youth vp) thy terrours haue I suffered with a troubled mind.

Thy wrathfull displeasure goeth ouer mee: and the feare of thee hath vndone me.

They came round about mee dayly like water: and com∣passed me together on euery side.

My louers and friends hast thou put away from me: and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

Misericordias Domini. Psal. 89.

MY song shal be alway of the louing kindnesse of the Lorde: with my mouth wil I euer be shewing thy trueth, * 1.34 from one generation to an∣other.

For I haue said, Mercie shalbe set vp for euer: thy trueth shall thou stablish in the heauens.

I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne vnto Dauid my seruant.

Thy seede will I stablish for euer: and set vp thy throne

from one generation to another.

O Lorde, the very heauens shall praise thy wonderous workes: and thy trueth in the Congregation of the Saints.

For who is hee among the clouds: that shall be compared vnto the Lord?

And what is hee among the gods: that shall bee like vnto the Lord?

God is very greatly to be feared in the counsel of the saints: and to be had in reuerence of all them that are about him.

O Lord God of hostes, who is like vnto thee: thy trueth (most mightie Lord) is on euery side.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea thou stillest the waues there of when they arise.

Thou hast subdued Egypt, and destroyed it: thou hast scattered thine enemies abroad with thy mightie arme.

The heauens are thine the earth also is thine: thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all that therin is.

Thou hast made the North and the South: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name.

Thou hast a mightie arme: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

Righteteousnesse and equitie is the habitation of the ••eate: mercie and trueth shall goe before thy face.

Blessed is the people (O Lorde) that can reioyce in thee: they shall walke in the light of thy countenance.

Their delight shall dayly in thy Name: and in thy righteousnesse shall they make their boast.

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy louing kindnesse thou shall lift vp our hornes.

For the Lorde is our defence: the holy one of Israel is our King.

Thou spakest sometime in visions vnto thy Saints, and saydest: I haue laid helpe vpon one that is mightie, I haue ixalted one chosen out of the people.

I haue found Dauid my seruant: with my holy oyle haue I anoynted him.

My hand shall holde him fast: and my arme shall streng∣then him.

The enemie shall not be able to doe him violence: the sonne of wickednesse shall not hurt him.

I shall smite downe his foes before his face: and plague them that hate him.

My trueth also and my mercie shallbe with him: and in my Name shall his horne be exalted.

I will set his dominion also in the sea: and his right hand in the floods.

Hee shall call me, Thou art my father: my God, and my strong saluation.

And I will make him my first borne: higher then the kings of the earth.

My mercie will I keepe for him for euermore: and my co∣uenant shall stand fast with him.

His seede also will I make to endure for euer: & his throne as the dayes of heauen.

But if his children forsake my Law: and walke not in my iudgements.

If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commande∣ments: I will visit their offences with the rod, and their sinne with scourges.

Neuerthelesse, my louing kindnesse will I not vtterly take from him: nor suffer my trueth to faile.

My couenant will I not breake, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lippes: I haue sworne once by my Holinesse, that I will not faile Dauid.

His seede shall endure for euer: and his seate is like as the sunne before me.

He shall stand fast for euermore as the moone: and as the faithfull witnesse in heauen.

But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine anoynted: and art displeased at him.

Thou hast broken the couenant of thy seruant: and cast his crowne to the ground.

Thou hast ouerthrowen all his hedges: and broken down his strong holds.

All they that goe by, spo••••e him: and he is become a rebuke to his neighbours.

Thou hast set vp the right hand of his enemies: and made all his aduersaries to reioyce.

Thou hast taken away the edge of his sworde: and giuest him not victorie in the battell.

Thou hast put out his glory: and cast his throne downe to the ground.

The dayes of his youth hast thou shortened: and couered him with dishonour.

Lord, how long wil thou hide thy selfe, for euer: and shall thy wrath burne like fire?

Oh remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men, for nought?

What man is hee that liueth, and shall not see death: and shall he deliuer his soule from the hand of hell?

Lorde, where are thy olde louing kindnesses: which thou swarest vnto Dauid in thy trueth?

Remember, Lord, the rebuke that thy seruants haue: and how I doe beare in my bosome the rebukes of many people.

Wherewith thine enemies haue blasphemed thee, and slan∣dered the footesteps of thine anoynted: prased be the Lorde for euermore. Amen Amen.

Domine, refugium. Psal. 90.

LOrde, * 1.35 thou hast beene our refuge: from one generation to another.

Before the mountaines were brought foorth, or euer the earth and the worlde were made: thou art God from euerlasting, & world without end.

Thou rurnest man to destructi∣on: againe thou sayest, Come a∣gaine ye children of men.

For a thousand yeeres in thy sight, are but as yesterday: seeing that is past as a watch in the night.

As soone as thou scatterest them, they are euen as a sleepe: and fade away suddenly like the grasse.

I•• the morning it is greene, and growth vp: but in the

euening it is cut downe, dryed vp, and withered.

For wee consume away in thy displeasure: and are afraid at thy wrathfull indignation.

Thou hast set our misdeedes before thee: and our secret sinnes in the sight of thy countenance.

For when thou art angry, all our dayes are gone: we bring our yeeres to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

The dayes of our age are threescore yeeres and tenne, and though men be so strong that they come to fourescore yeeres: yet is their strength then but labour and sorowe, so soone pas∣seth it away, and we are gone.

But who regardeth the power of thy wrath: for euen ther∣after as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure.

O teach vs to number our dayes: that we may apply our hearts vnto wisedome.

Lurne thee againe (O Lord) at the last: and bee gracious vnto thy seruants.

O satisfie vs with thy mercie, and that soone: so shall wee reioyce and be glad all the dayes of our life.

Comfort vs againe now after the time that thou hast pla∣gued vs: & for the yeres wherein we haue suffered aduersitie.

Shewe thy seruants thy worke: and their children thy glorie.

And the glorious Maiestie of the Lorde our God be vpon vs: prosper thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, O prosper thou our handy worke.

Qui habirat, Psal. 91.

WHo so dwelleth vnder the defence of the most High: shall abide vnder the shadow of the Almightie.

I will say vnto the Lord, Thou art my hope and my strong holde: my God, in him will I trust.

For he shall deliuer thee from the snare of the Hunter: and from the noysome pestilence.

Hee shall defend thee vnder his wings, and thou shall bee safe vnder his feathers: his faithfulnesse and trueth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shall not be afraid for any terrour by night. Nor for the arrow that ftyeth by day.

For the pestilence that walketh in darkenesse: nor for the sickenesse that destoyeth in the noone day.

A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold: and see the reward of the vngodly.

For thou Lord art my hope: thou hast set thine house of de∣fence very high.

There shall no euill happen vnto thee: neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall giue his angels charge ouer thee: to keepe thee in all thy wayes.

They shall beare thee in their hands: that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.

Thou shall go vpon the Lion and Adder: the yong Lion and the Dragon shalt thou tread vnder thy feete.

Because he hath set his loue vpon me, therefore shall I de∣liuer him: I shall set him vp, because hee hath knowen my Name.

He shal call vpon me and I wil heare him: yea, I am with him in trouble, I will deliuer him, and bring him to honour.

With long life will I satisfie him: and shew him my salua∣tion.

Bonum est confiteri, Psal. 92

IT is a good thing to giue thankes vnto the Lord: and to sing praises vnto thy Name, O most Highest.

To tell of thy louing kindnesse early in the morning: and of thy trueth in the night season.

Vpon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the Lute: vpon a loud instrument, and vpon the Harpe.

For thou Lorde hast made mee glad through thy workes: and I will reioyce in giuing praise for the operations of thy hands.

O Lord, how glorious are thy workes: and thy thoughts are very deepe.

An vnwise man doeth not well consider this: and a foole doeth not vnderstand it.

When the vngodly are greene as the grasse, & when all the

workers of wickednes do florish: then shal they be destroyed for euer, but thou Lord art the most highest for euermore.

For loe, thine enemies (O Lorde) loe thine enemies shall perish: and all the workers of wickednesse shal be destroyed.

But my horne shalbe exalted like the horne of an vnicorne: for I am annoynted with fresh oyle.

Mine eye also shall see his lust of mine enemies: and mine eare shal heare his desire of y^e wicked that rise vp against me.

The righteous shall flourish like a palme tree: and shall spread abroad like a Cedar in Libanus.

Such as bee planted in the house of the Lord: shall florish in the courts (of the house) of our God.

They also shall bring foorth more fruite in their age: and shalbe fat and well liking.

That they may shew how true the Lord my strength is: and that there is no vnrighteousnesse in him.

Dominus regnauit. Psal. 93.

THe Lorde is king, * 1.36 and hath put on glorious apparell: the Lord hath put on his apparell, and girded himselfe with strength.

He hath made the round world so sure: that it cannot be mooued.

Euer since the world began hath thy seate beene prepared: thou art from euerlasting.

The floods are risen (O Lord) the floods haue lift vp their voice: the floods lift vp their waues.

The waues of the sea are mightie, and rage horribly: but yet the Lord that dwelleth on high is mightier.

Thy testimonies, O Lord, are very sure: holinesse becom∣meth thine house for euer.

Deus vltionum. Psalm 94.

O Lorde God, to whom vengeance belongeth: thou God to whome vengeance belongeth, shew thy selfe.

Arise thou iudge of the world: and reward the proud after their deseruing.

Lord, how long shall the vngodly: how long shall the vn∣godly triumph?

How long shall all wicked doers speake so disdaincfully: and make such proud boasting?

They smite downe thy people, O Lord: and trouble thine heritage.

They murther the widowe and the stranger: and put the fatherlesse to death.

And yet they say, Tush, the Lord shall not see: neither shal the God of Iacob regard it.

Take heede yee vnwise among the people: O yee fooles, when will ye vnderstand?

He that planted the eare, shal he not heare: or he that made the eye, shall not see?

Or he that nurtureth the heathen: it is hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he punish?

The Lord knoweth the thoughts, of man: that they are but vaine.

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest (O Lord:) and teachest him in thy Law.

That thou mayest giue him patience in time of aduersitic: vntill the pit be digged vp for the vngodly.

For the Lord will not faile his people: neither will he for∣sake his inheritance.

Untill righteousnes turne againe vnto iudgement: all such as be true in heart shall follow it.

Who will rise vp with me against the wicked: or who will take my part against the euill doers?

If the Lord had not helped mee: it had not failed but my soule had bene put to silence.

But when I said, my foote hath slipped: thy mercie (O Lord) held me vp.

In the multitude of the sorowes that I had in my heart: thy comforts haue refreshed my soule.

Wilt thou haue any thing to doe with the stoole of wicked∣nesse: which imagineth mischiefe as a law?

They gather them together against the soule of the right∣teous: and condemne the innocent blood

But the Lord is my refuge: and my God is the strength of my confidence.

He shall recompence them their wickednesse, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall de∣stroy them.

Venite, exultemus. Psal. 95.

O Come, * 1.37 let vs sing vnto the Lorde: let vs heartily reioyce in the strength of our saluation.

Let vs come before his presence with thanksgiuing: and shew our selues glad in him with Psalmes.

For the Lord is a great God: and a great king aboue all gods.

In his hand are all the corners of the earth: and the strength of the hilles is his also.

The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands prepared the dry land.

O come, let vs worship and fall downe: and kneele before the Lord our maker.

For he is (the Lord) our God: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheepe of his hands.

Today if ye will heare his voyce, harden not your hearts: as in the prouocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wildernesse.

When your fathers tempted me: prooued me, and saw my workes.

Fourtie yeeres long was I grieued with this generation, ••nd said: it is a people that doe erre in their hearts, for they haue not knowen my wayes.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest.

Cantate Domino. Psal.96.

O Sing vnto the Lord a new song: sing vnto the Lord all the whole earth.

Sing vnto the Lord, and praise his name: be telling of his saluation from day to day.

Declare his honour vnto the heathen: and his wonders

vnto all people.

For the Lord is great, and can not worthily be praised: he is more to be feared then all gods.

As for all the gods of the heathen, they be but idoles: but it is the Lord that made the heauens.

Glory and worship are before him: power and honour are in his sanctuarie.

Ascribe vnto the Lord (O ye kinreds of the people:) ascribe vnto the Lord worship and power.

Ascribe vnto the lorde the honour due vnto his Name: bring presents, and come into his courts.

O worship the Lord in the beautie of holinesse: let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

Tell it out among the heathen, that Lord is king: and that it is he which hath made the round world so fast that it can not be mooued, and how that hee shall iudge the people righteously.

Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad: let the sea make a noyse, and all that therein is.

Let the field be ioyfull, and all that is in it: then shal all the trees of the wood reioyce before the Lord.

For he commeth, for he commeth to iudge the earth: and with righte ousnesse to iudge the world, and the people with his trueth.

Dominus regnauit. Psal. 97.

The Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof: yea, the multitude of the Isles may be glad thereof.

Cloudes and darkenesse are round about him: righteous∣nes and iudgement are the habitation of his seat.

There shal go a fire before him: and burne vp his enemies on euery side.

His lightnings gaue shine vnto the world: the earth sawe it and was afraid.

The hilles melted like ware at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heauens declared his righteousnes: and all the people haue seene his glore.

Confounded be all they that worship carued images, and

that delight in vaine gods: worship him all ye gods.

Sion heard of it, and reioyced: and the daughters of Iuda were glad, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.

For thou Lorde art higher then all that are in the earth: thou art exalted farre aboue all gods.

O ye that loue the Lord, see that ye hate the thing which is cuill: the Lord preserueth the soules of his saints, he shall deliuer them from the hand of the vngodly.

There is sprung vp a light for the righteous: and ioyfull gladnesse for such as be true hearted.

Reioyce in the Lord ye righteous: and giue thankes for a remembrance of his holinesse.

Cantate Domino. Psal. 98.

O Sing vnto the Lord a new song: * 1.38 for he hath done marueilous things.

With his owner right hand, & with his holy arme: hath he gotten himselfe the victorie.

The Lord declared his saluation: his righ∣teousnesse hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembred his mercie and trueth towarde the house of Israel: and all the ends of the world haue seene the saluation of our God.

Shew your sclues ioyful vnto the Lord, all ye lands: sing, reioyce, and giue thankes.

Prayse the Lord vpon the Harpe: sing to the Harpe with a Psalme of thankesgiuing.

With trumpets also and shaumes: O shew your selues ioy full before the Lord the king.

Let the sea make a noyse, and all that therein is: the round world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hilles be ioyful together before the Lord: for he is come to iudge the earth.

With righteousnes shall he iudge the world: and the peo∣ple with equitie.

Dominus regnauit. Psal.99.

The Lord is king, be the people neuer so vnpatient: hee sitteth betweene the Cherubinis, bee the earth neuer so

vnquiet.

The Lord is great in Sion: and high aboue all peopel.

They shall giue thankes vnto thy name: which is great, wonderfull, and holy.

The kings power loueth iudgement, thou hast prepared equitie: thou hast executed iudgement, and righteousnesse in Iacob.

O magnifie the Lord our God: and fall downe before his footestoole, for he is holy.

Moses & Aaron among his Pricsts, and Samuel among such as call vpon his name: these called vpon the Lord, and he heard them.

He spake vnto them out of the cloudie pillar: for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gaue them.

Thou heardest them (O Lord our God:) thou forgauest them, O God, and punishedst their owne inuentions.

O magnifie the Lord our God, and worship him vpon his holy hill: for the Lord our God is holy.

Iubilate Deo. Psal. 100.

O be ioyfull in the Lord all ye lands: serue the Lord with gladnesse, and come before his presence with a song.

Be ye sure that the Lord he is god, it is he that hath made vs, and not we our selues: we are his people, and the sheepe of his pasture.

O goe your way into his gates with thankesgiuing, and into his courts with prayse: be thankefull vnto him, & speake good of his name.

For the Lorde is gracious, his mercie is euerlasting: and his trueth endureth from generation to generation.

Misericordiam & iudicium. Psal. 101.

MY song shall be of mercie and iudgement: vnto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

O let me haue vnderstanding: in the way of godlinesse.

When wilt thou come vnto me: I will walke in my house with a perfit heart.

I will take no wicked thing in hand, I hate the sinnes of vnfaithfulnesse: there shall no such cleaue vnto me.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a

〈1 page duplicate〉〈1 page duplicate〉

〈1 page duplicate〉〈1 page duplicate〉

wicked person.

Who so priuily slandereth his neighbour: him will I de∣stroy.

Who so hath also a proud looke and high stomacke: I will not suffer him.

Mine eyes looke vnto such as be faithfull in the land: that they may dwell with me.

Who so leadeth a godly life: he shall be my seruant.

There shall no deceitfull person dwell in my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarif in my sight.

I shall soone destroy all the vngodly that are in the land: that I may root out all wicked doers frō the city of the Lord.

Domine exaudi. Psal. 102.

HEare my prayer, * 1.39 O Lord: and let my crying come vnto thee.

Hide not thy face from mee in the time of my trouble: encline thine eares vnto mee when I call, O heare mee, and that right soone.

For my dayes are consumed a∣way like smoke: and my bones are burnt vp as it were a firebrand.

My heart is smitten downe, and withered like grasse: so that I forget to eate my bread.

For the voice of my groning: my bones will scarse cleaue to my flesh.

I am become like a pelicane in the wildernes: and like an Owle that is in the desart.

I haue watched, and am euen as it were a sparrow: that sitteth alone vpon the house top.

Mine enemies reuile me all the day long: and they that are mad vpon me, are sworne together against me.

For I haue eaten ashes as it were bread: and mingled my drinke with weeping.

And that because of thine indignation and wrath: for thou hast taken me vp, and cast me downe.

My dayes are gone like a shadowe: and I am withered like grasse.

But thou (O Lord) shall endure for euer: and thy remem∣brance thoughout all generations.

Thou shalt arise and haue mercie vpon Sion: for it is time that thou haue mercie vpon her, yea, the time is come.

And why? thy seruants thinke vpon her stones: and it pi∣tieth them to see her in the dust.

The heathen shall feare thy Name, O Lord: and all the kings of the earth thy maicstie.

When the Lord shall build vp Sion: and when his glorie shall appeare.

When hee turneth him vnto the prayer of the poore desti∣tute: and des••iseth not their desire.

This shalbe written for those that come after: and the peo∣ple which shalbe borne shall praise the Lord.

For he hath looked downe from his sanctuarie: out of the heauen did the Lord behold the earth.

That he might heare the mournings of such as be in capti∣uitie: and deliuer the children appointed vnto death.

That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his worship at Hierusalem.

When the people are gathered together: & the kingdomes also serue the Lord.

He brought downe my strength in my iourney: and shorte∣ned my dayes.

But I said, O my God, take me not away in the middest of mine age: as for thy yeeres, they endure throughout all ge∣nerations.

Thou Lord in the beginning hast laied the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy hands.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: they all shall ware old as doeth a garment.

And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeres shall not faile.

The children of thy seruants shall continue: and their seed shall stand fast in thy sight.

Benedicanima. Psal. 103.

PRaise the Lord, O my soule: and all that is within mee, prayse his holy Name.

Praise the Lord, O my soule: and forget not all his benefits.

Which forgiueth all thy sinne: and healeth all thine infir∣mities.

Which saueth thy life from destruction: and crowneth thee with mercie and louing kindnesse.

Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: making thee yong and lustie as an Eagle.

The Lord executeth righteousnesse and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wroug.

He shewed his wayes vnto Boses: his workes vnto the children of Israel.

The Lord is full of compassion and mercie: long suffering and of great goodnesse.

He will not alway be chiding: neither keepeth he his anger for euer.

He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes: nor rewarded vs according to our wickednesse.

For looke howe high the heauen is in comparison of the earth: so great is his mercie also toward them that feare him.

Looke how wide also the East is from the West: so farre hath he set our sinnes from vs.

Yea, like as a father pitieth his owne children: euen so is the Lord mercifull vnto them that feare him.

For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.

The dayes of man are but as grasse: for he florisheth as a flowre of the field.

For as soone as the winde goeth ouer it, it is gone: and the place thereof shall know it no more.

But the mercifull goodnes of the Lord endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare him: and his righteousnesse vpon childrens children.

Euen vpon such as keepe his couenant: and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.

The Lorde hath prepared his seate in heauen: and his kingdome ruleth ouer all.

O praise the Lorde, yee angels of his, yee that excell in

strength: ye that fulfill his commandement, and hearken vn∣to the voice of his wordes.

O praise the Lord all ye his hostes: ye seruants of his that doe his pleasure.

O speake good of the Lord all ye workes of his in all pla∣ces of his dominion: Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

Benedic anima mea. Psal. 104.

PRaise the Lord, * 1.40 O my soule: O Lorde my God, thou art become exceeding glorious, thou art clothed with maiestie and honour.

Thou deckest thy selfe with light as it were with a garment: and spreadest out the hea∣uens like a curtaine.

Which layeth the beames of his chamber in the waters: and maketh the cloudes his charet, and wal∣keth vpon the wings of the winde.

He maketh his angels spirits: and his ministers a flaming fire.

He layd the foundations of the earth: that it neuer should mooue at any time.

Thou coueredst it with the, deepe like as with a garment: the waters stand in the hilles.

At thy rebuke they flee: at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid.

They goe vp as high as the hilles, and downe to the val∣leys beneath: euen vnto the place which thou hast appointed for them.

Thou hast set them their boundes, which they shall not passe: neither turne againe to couer the earth.

He sendeth the springs into the riuers: which runne among the hilles.

All beasts of the field drinke thereof: and the wilde Asses quench their thirst.

Beside them shall the foules of the ayre haue their habita∣tion: and sing among the branches.

He watereth the hilles from aboue: the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.

He bringeth foorth grasse for the cattell: and greene herbe

for the seruice of men.

That he may bring foode out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man: and oyle to make him a chere∣full countenance, and bread to strengthen mans heart.

The trees of the Lord also are full of sap: euen the Cedars of Libanus, which he hath planted.

Wherein the birdes make their nestes: and the Firre trees are a dwelling for the Storke.

The high hilles are a refuge for the wilde Goates: and so are the stonie rockes for the Conies.

Hee appointed the Moone for certaine seasons: and the Sunne knoweth his going downe.

Thou makest darkenesse, that it may be night: wherein all the beasts of the forest doe mooue.

The Lions roaring after their pray: doe seeke their meate at God.

The sunne ariseth, and they get them away together: and lay them downe in their dennes.

Man goeth foorth to his worke, and to his labour: vntill the euening.

O Lord, how manifold are thy workes: in wisedome hast thou made them all, the earth is full of thy riches.

So is the great and wide sea also: wherein are things cree∣ping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

There goe the ships, and there is that Liuiathan: whom thou hast made to take his passime therein.

These wayte all vpon thee: that thou mayest giue them meate in due season.

When thou giuest it them, they gather it: and when thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.

When thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: When thou takest away their breath, they die, and are turned againe to their dust.

When thou lettest thy breath goe forth, they shal be made: and thou shalt renue the face of the earth.

The glorious Maiestie of the Lord shall endure foreuer: the Lord shall reioyce in his workes.

The earth shall tremble at the looke of him: if he doe but

touch the hilles, they shall smoke.

I will sing vnto the Lord as long as I liue: I will praise my God, while I haue my being.

And so shall my words please him: my ioy shalbe in y^e Lord.

As for sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the vngodly shal come to an end: praise thou the Lord, O my soule, praise the Lord.

Confitemini Domino. Psal. 105.

O Giue thankes vnto the Lord, * 1.41 and call vpon his name: tell the people what things he hath done.

O let your songs be of him, and praise him: and let your talking be of all his wonderous workes.

Reioyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them reioyce that seek the Lord.

Seeke the Lord & his strength: seeke his face euermore.

Remember the marueilous works that he hath done: his wonders and the indgements of his mouth.

O ye seede of Abraham his seruant: ye children of Iacob his chosen.

Hee is the Lorde our God: his iudgements are in all the world.

He hath bene alway mindfull of his couenant and promise: that he made to a thousand generations.

Euen the couenant that he made with Abraham: and the other that he sware vnto Isahac.

And appointed the same vnto Iacob for a law: and to Is∣rael for an euerlasting testament.

Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance.

When there were yet but a fewe of them: and they stran∣gers in the land.

What time as they went from one nation to another: from one kingdome to another people.

He suffered no man to doe them wrong: but reproued euen kings for their sakes.

Touch not mine anoynted: & doe my Prophets no harme.

Moreouer, hee called for a dearth vpon the land: and de∣stroyed all the prouision of bread.

But hee had sent a man before them: euen Ioseph which was solde to be a bond seruant.

Whose feete they hurt in the stockes: the yron entred into his soule.

Until the time came that his cause was knowen: the word of the Lord tryed him.

The king sent and deliuered him: the prince of the people let him goe free.

Hee made him lorde also of his house: and ruler of all his substance.

That he might informe his princes after his wil: and teach his Senators wisedome.

Israel also came into Egypt: and Iacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

And he increased his people exceedingly: and made them stronger then their enemies.

Whose heart turned, so that they hated his people: and dealt vntruely with his seruants.

Then sent hee Moses his seruant: and Aaron whome hee had chosen.

And these shewed his tokens among them: and wonders in the land of ham.

He sent darkenesse, and it was darke: and they were not obedient vnto his word.

He turned their waters into blood: and slue their fish.

Their land brought forth frogs: yea, euen in their kings chambers.

He spake the word, and there came all maner of flies: and lite in all their quarters.

Hee gaue them hailestones for raine: and flames of fire in their land.

He smote their vines also and figge trees: and destroyed the trees that were in their coasts.

Hee spake the word, and the grashoppers came, and cater∣pillers innumerable: and did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground.

He smote all the first borne in their land: euen the chiefe of all their strength.

Hee brought them foorth also with siluer and golde there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were afraide of them.

He spread out a cloud to be a couering: and fire to giue light in the night season.

At their desire he brought quailes: and he filled them with the bread of heauen.

He opened the rocke of stone, and the waters flowed out: so that riuers ran in dry places.

For why? he remembred his holy promise: and Abraham his seruant.

And hee brought forth his people with ioy: and his chosen with gladnesse.

And gaue them the landes of the heathen: and they tooke the labours of the people in possession.

That they might keepe his statutes: & obserue his lawes.

Confitemini Domino, Psal. 106.

O Giue thankes vnto the Lord, * 1.42 for he is graci∣ous: and his mercie endureth for euer.

Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lord: or shew forth all his praise?

Blessed are they that alway keepe iudge∣ment: and doe righteousnesse.

Remember me, O Lord, according to the fauour that thou bearest vnto thy people: O visite mee with thy saluation.

That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen: and reioyce in the gladnes of thy people, & giue thankes with thine inheritance.

We haue sinned with our fathers: we haue done amisse, and dealt wickedly.

Our fathers regarded not thy woonders in Egypt, nei∣ther kept they thy great goodnesse in remembrance: but

were disobedient at the sea, euen at the red sea.

Neuerthelesse, he helped them, for his names sake: that he might make his power to be knowen.

He rebuked the red sea also, and it was dryed vp: so hee led them through the deepe, as thorow a wildernesse.

And hee saued them from the aduersaries hand: and deli∣uered them from the hand of the enemie.

As for those that troubled them, the waters oucrwhelmed them: there was not one of them left.

Then beleeued they his words: and sang praise vnto him.

But within a while they forgat his works; and would not abide his counsell.

But lust came vpon them in the wildernesse: and they tempted God in the desart.

And he gaue them their desire: and sent leanncsse withall into their soule.

They angred Moses also in the tentes: and Aaron the Saint of the Lord.

So the earth opened, and swallowed vp Dathan: and co∣uered the congregation of Abiram.

And the fire was kindled in their companie: the flame burnt vp the vngodly.

They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the molten image.

Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calf•• that eateth hay.

And they forgate God their Sauiour: which had done so great things in Egypt.

Wonderous workes in the lande of Ham: and fearefull things by the red sea.

So he said he would haue destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stande before him in the gap: to turne away his wrathfull indignation, lest he should destroy them.

Yea, they thought scorne of that pleasant land: and gaue no credence vnto his word.

But murmured in their tents: and hearkened not vnto the voice of the Lord.

Then lift hee vp his hande against them: to ouerthrowe

them in the wildernesse

To cast out their seede among the nations: and to scatter them in the lands.

They ioyned themselues vnto Baal Peor: and ate the of∣ferings of the dead.

Thus they prouoked him to anger with their owne inuen∣tions: and the plague was great among them.

Then stood vp Phinees, & prayed: and so the plague ceased.

And that was counted vnto him for righteousnes: among all posterities for euermore.

They angred him also at the waters of strife: so that hee punished Moses for their sakes.

Because they prouoked his spirit: so that he spake vnadui∣sedly with his lippes.

Neither destroyed they the heathen: as the Lorde com∣manded them.

But were mingled among the heathen: and learned their workes.

In so much that they worshipped their idols, which tur∣ned to their owne decay: yea, they offered their sonnes and daughters vnto deuils.

And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes and of their daughters: whome they offered vnto the woles of Chanaan, and the land was defiled with blood.

Thus were they stained with their owne workes: & went a whoring with their owne inuentions.

Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people: in so much that he abhorred his owne inheritance.

And he gaue them ouer into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them were lords ouer them.

Their enemies oppressed them: & had them in subiection.

Many a time did he deliuer them: but they rebelled against him with their owne inuentions, and were brought downe in their wickednesse.

Neuerthelesse, when hee saw their aduersitie: hee heard their complaint.

Hee thought vpon his couenant, and pitied them accor∣ding vnto the multitude of his mercies: yea, hee made all

those that led them away captiue to pitie them.

Deliuer: vs (O Lord our God) and gather vs from among the heathen: that we may giue thanks vnto thy holy Name, and make our boast of thy praise.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, from euerlasting, and world without end: and let all the people say, Amen.

Confitemini Domino. Psal. 107.

O Giue thankes vnto the Lorde, * 1.43 for he is gracious: and his mercie en∣dureth for euer.

Let them giue thankes whom the Lord hath redeemed: & deliue∣red from the hand of the enemie.

And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West: from the North and from the South.

They went astray in the wilder∣nesse out of the way: and found no citie to dwell in.

Hungry and thirstie: their soule fainted in them.

So they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble: and he deli∣uered them from their distresse.

He led them foorth by the right way: that they might go to the citie where they dwelt.

O that men would therfore praise y^e Lord for his goodnes: and declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men.

For hee satisfieth the emptie soule: and filleth the hungrie soule with goodnesse.

Such as sit in darknesse and in the shadow of death: being fast bound in miserie and yron.

Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord: and lightly regarded the counsaile of the most high.

Hee also brought downe their heart through heauinesse: they fell downe, and there was none to helpe them vp.

So when they cried vnto the Lorde in their trouble: hee deliuered them out of their distresse.

For he brought them out of darkenesse, and out of the sha∣dow of death: and brake their bonds in sunder.

O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his good∣nesse: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men.

For he hath broken the gates of brasse: & smitten the barres of yron in sunder.

Foolish men are plagued for their offence: and because of their wickednesse.

Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate: and they were euen hard at deaths doore.

So when they cryed vnto the Lord in their trouble: he de∣liuered them out of their distresse

He sent his worde and healed them: and they were saued from their destruction.

O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his good∣nesse: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men.

That they would offer vnto him the sacrifice of thankesgi∣uing: and tell out his workes with gladnesse.

They that goe downe to the sea in ships: and occupie their businesse in great waters.

These men see the workes of the Lord: and his wonders in the deepe.

For at his word the stormie winde ariseth: which lifteth vp the waues thereof.

They are caried vp to the heauen, and downe againe to the deepe: their soule melteth away because of the trouble.

They reele to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man: and are at their wits end.

So when they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble: he deli∣ue••th them out of their distresse

For he maketh the storme to cease: so that the waues there∣of are still.

Then are they glad, because they be at rest: and so he brin∣geth them vnto the hauen where they would be.

O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his good∣nesse: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men.

Th•••• they would exa•• him also in the Congregation of

the people: and prayse him in the seate of the elders.

Which turneth the floods into a wildernesse: and drieth vp the water springs.

A fruitfull land maketh hee barren: for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein.

Againe he maketh the wildernesse a standing water: and water springs of a drie ground.

And there he setteth the hungry: that they may build them a citie to dwell in.

That they may sowe their land, and plant vineyardes: to yeeld them fruits of increase.

He blesseth them, so that that they multiplie exceedingly: & suffereth not their cattell to decrease.

And againe, when they are minished and brought lowe: through oppression, through any plague or trouble.

Though hee suffer them to bee euill entreated through ty∣rants: and let them wander out of the way in the wildernes.

Yet helpeth hee the poore out of miserie: and maketh him housholds like a flocke of sheepe.

The righteous will consider this, & reioyce: and the mouth of all wickednesse shalbe stopped.

Who so is wise, will ponder these things: and they shall vn∣derstand the louing kindnesse of the Lord.

Paratum cormeum. Psal. 108.

O God, * 1.44 my heart is ready (my heart is ready:) I will sing & giue prayse with the best mem∣ber that I haue.

Awake thou Lute and Harpe: I my 〈◊〉〈◊〉 will awake right early.

I will giue thankes vnto thee O Lord, among the people: I will sing prayses vnto thee among the nations.

For thy mercie is greater then the hea••••ns: and thy trueth reacheth vnto the cloudes.

Set vp thy selfe (O God) aboue the heauens: and thy glory aboue all the earth.

That thy beloued may bee deliuered: let thy right hand

saue them, and heare thou me.

God hath spoken in his holinesse: I will reioyce therefore and diuide Sichem, and mete out the valley of Sucoth.

Gilead is mine, and Manasses is mine: Ephraim also is the strength of my head.

Iuda is my lawgiuer, Moab is my washpot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe, vpon the Philistims will I triumph.

Who will leade me into the strong citie: and who will bring me into Edom?

Hast not thou forsaken vs, O God: and wilt not thou God goe forth with our hostes?

O helpe vs against y^e enemie: for vaine is the helpe of man.

Through God we shall doe great actes: and it is hee that shall tread downe our enemies.

Deus laudem. psal. 109.

HOld not thy tongue, O God of my praise: for the mouth of the vngodly, yea, and the mouth of the deceitfull is ope∣ned vpon me.

And they haue spoken against me with false tongues: they compassed me about also with wordes of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

For the loue that I had vnto them, loe, they take now my contrary part: but I giue my selfe vnto prayer.

Thus haue they rewarded me euill for good: and hatred for my good will.

Set thou an vngodly man to bee ruler ouer him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

When sentence is giuen vpon him, let him be condemned: and let his prayer be turned into sinne.

Let his dayes be fewe: and let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherlesse: and his wife a widow.

Let his children bee vagabonds, and beg their bread: let them seeke it also out of desolate places.

Let the extortioner consume all that hee hath: and let the stranger spoile his labour.

Let there bee no man to pitie him: nor to haue compassion vpon his fatherlesse children.

Let his posteritie be destroyed: and in the next generation

let his name be cleane put out.

Let the wickednesse of his fathers be hab in remembrance in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be done away.

Let them alway be before the Lord: that he may roote out the memoriall of them from of the earth.

And that because his minde was not to doe good: but per∣secuted the poore helpelesse man, that he might slay him that was vexed at the heart.

His delight was in cursing, and it shall happen vnto him: he loued not blessing, therefore shall it be farre from him.

Hee clothed himselfe with cursing like as with a rayment: and it shall come into his bowels like water, and like oyle in∣to his bones.

Let it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him: and as the girdle that he is alway girded withall.

Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto mine enemies: and to those that speake euill agaist my soule.

But deale thou with me, O Lord God, according vnto thy Name: for sweete is thy mercie.

O deliuer me, for I am helpelesse and poore: and my heart is wounded within me.

I go hence like the shadow that departeth: and am driuen away as the grashopper.

My knees are weake through fasting: my flesh is dried vp for want of fatnesse.

I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.

Helpe me, O Lorde my God: oh saue me according to thy mercie.

And they shall know how that this is thy hand: and that thou Lord hast done it.

Though they curse, yet blesse thou: and let them bee con∣founded that rise vp against me, but let thy seruant reioyce.

Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame: and let them couer themselues with their owne confusion, as with a cloke.

As for me, I will giue great thankes vnto the Lord with my mouth: and prayse him among the multitude.

For he shal stand at the right hand of the poore: to saue his soule from vnrighteous Iudges.

Dixit Dominus. psal 110.

THE Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde: * 1.45 sit thou on my right hand, vntill I make thine enemies thy foote∣stoole.

The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Sion: bee thou ruler euen in the middes among thine enemies.

In the day of thy power shall the people offer thee free will offe∣rings with an holy worship: the dewe of thy birth is of the wombe of the morning.

The Lord sware, and wil not repent: thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Meichisedech.

The Lord vpon thy right hand: shall wound euen Kings in the day of his wrath.

He shall iudge among the heathen, hee shall fill the places with the dead bodies: and smite in sunder the heads ouer di∣uers countreys.

He shall drinke of the brooke in the way: therefore shall hee Lift vp his head.

Confitebor tibi. Psal. 111.

I Will giue thankes vnto the Lord with my whole heart: secretly among the faithfull, and in the Congregation.

The works of the Lord are great: sought out of all them that haue pleasure therein.

His worke is worthy to be praysed and had in honour: and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his marruci∣lous works: that they ought to be had in remembrance.

He hath giuen meate vnto them that feare him: hee shall euer be mindfull of his couenant.

He hath shewed his people the power of his workes: that he may giue them the heritage of the heathen.

The workes of his hands are veritie and iudgement: all

his commandements are true.

They stand fast for euer and euer: and are done in trueth and equitie.

He sent redemption vnto his people: hee hath commanded his couenant for euer, holy and reuerent is his Name.

The feare of the Lorde is the beginning of wisedome: a good vnderstanding haue all they that doe thereafter, the prayse of it endureth for euer.

Beatus vir. Psal. 112.

BLessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he hath great delight in his conmandements.

His seede shalbe mightie vpon earth: the generation of the faithfull shalbe blessed.

Riches and plenteousnes shalbe in his house: and his righ∣teousnesse endureth for euer.

Vnto the godly there ariseth vp light in the darkenesse: he is mercifull, louing, and righteous.

A good man is mercifull, and lendeth: and will guide his words with discretion.

For he shall neuer be moued: and the righteous shalbe had in an euerlasting remembrance.

Hee will not bee afraide for any euill tidings: for his heart standeth fast, and beleeueth in the Lord.

His heart is stablished and will not shrinke: vntill hee see his desire vpon his enemies.

Hee hath dispersed abroad, and giuen to the poore: and his righteousnesse remaineth for euer, his horne shall be exalted with honour.

The vngodly shall see it, and it shall grieue him: hee shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away, the desire of the vngodly shall perish.

Laudate pueri. Psal. 113.

PRayse the Lorde, yee seruants: O prayse the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the name of the Lord: from this time foorth for euermore.

The Lordes Name is praysed: from the rising vp of the Snune, vnto the going downe of the same.

The Lord is high aboue all heathen: and his glory aboue the heauens.

Who is like vnto the Lord out God, that hath his dwel∣ling so high: and yet humbleth himselfe to beholde the things that are in heauen and earth?

He taketh vp the simple out of the dust: and lifteth poore out of the myre.

That he may set him with the princes: euen with the prin∣ces of his people.

He maketh the barren woman to keepe house: and to bee a ioyfull mother of children.

In exitu Israel. Psal. 114.

WHen Israel came out of Egypt: * 1.46 and the house of Iacob from among the strange people.

Iuda was his sancutuarie: and Israel his dominion.

The sea saw that, and fled: Ior∣dan was driuen backe.

The mountaines skipped like Rammes: and the little hils like young sheepe.

What a••eth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest: and thou Iorden, that thou wast driuen backe?

Ye mountaines that ye skipped like Rammes: and ye little hils like yong shepe?

Tremble thou earth at the presence of the Lorde: at the presence of the God of Iacob.

Which turned the hard rocke into a standing water: and the flint stone into a springing well.

Non nobis Domine. Psal.115.

NOt vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy name giue the praise: for thy louing mercie, and for thy trueths sake.

Wherefore shall the heathen say: where is now their God?

As for our God, he is in heauen: he hath done whatsoeuer pleased him.

Their idoles are siluer & gold: euen y^e worke of mens hands.

They haue mouthes, and speake not: eyes haue they, and see not.

They haue eares, and heare not: noses haue they, and smell not.

They haue handes, and handle not, feete haue they, and walke not: neither speake they through their throate.

They that make them, are like vnto them: and so are all such as put their trust in them.

But thou house of Israel trust thou in the Lorde: hee is their succour and defence.

Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

Ye that feare the Lorde, put your trust in the Lord: hee is their helper and defender.

The Lord hath beene mindfull of vs, and hee shall blesse vs: eurn he shall blesse the house of Israel, he shall blesse the house of Aaron.

He shal blesse them that feare the Lord: both small & great.

The Lord shall increase you more and more: you and your children.

Ye are the blessed of y^e Lord: which made heauen & earth.

All the whole heauens are the Lordes: the earth hath hee giuen to the children of men.

The dead prayse not thee, O Lorde: neither all they that got downe into the silence.

But we will praise the Lord: from this time forth for euer∣more. Prayse the Lord.

Dilexi quoniam. Psal. 116.

I Am well pleased: * 1.47 that the Lorde hath heard the voyce of my prayer.

That hee hath inclined his eare vnto me: therefore will I call vpou him as long as I liue.

The snares of death compassed me round about: and the paines of hell gate hold vpon me.

I shall finde trouble and hea∣uinesse, and I shall call vpon the

name of the Lord: O Lord I beseech thee deliuer my soule.

Gracious is the Lord and righteous: yea one God is mer∣cifull.

The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me.

Turne againe then vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath rewarded thee.

And why? thiu hast deliuered my soule from death: mine eyes from teares, and my feet from falling.

I will walke before the Lord: in the land of the liuing.

I beleeued, and therefore will I speake, but I was fore troubled: I sayd in my haste, All men are lyars.

What reward shall I giue vnto the Lord: for all the bene∣fites that he hath done vnto me?

I will receiue the cup of saluation: and call vpon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vowes nowe in the presence of all his peo∣ple: right deare in the sight of the Lorde, is the death of his Saints.

Behold (O Lord) how that I am thy seruant: I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaid, thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

I will offer to thee the sarrifice of thankesgiuing: and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.

I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, in the fight of all his people: in the courts of the Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O HierusaleM. Praise the Lord.

Laudate Dominum. Psal.117.

O Prayse the Lord all yee heathen: prayse him all yee na∣tions.

For his mercifull kindnesse is euer more and more to∣ward vs; and the traeth of the Lorde endureth for euer. Prayse the Lord.

Confitemini Domino. Psal.118.

O Giue thankes vnto the Lord, for he is gracions: because his mercie endureth for euer.

Let Israel now confesse, that he is gracious: and that his mercie endureth for euer.

Let the house of Aaron now confesse: that his mercie en∣dureth for euer.

Yea, let them now that feare the Lord, confesse: that his mercie endureth for euer.

I called vpou the Lord in trouble: and the Lorde heard me at large.

The Lord is on my side: I will not feare what man doth vnto me.

The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: there∣fore shall I see my desire vpon mine enemies.

It is better to trust in the Lord: then to put any confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the Lord: then to put any confidence in Princes.

All nations compassed me round about: but in the name of the Lorde will I destroy them.

They kept me in on eueryside, they kept me in (I say) on euery side: but in the name of the Lord wil I destroy them.

They came about me like Bees, and are extinct euen as the fire among the thornes: for in the name of the Lord wil I de∣stroy them.

Thou hast thrust sore at mee, that I might fall: but the Lord was my helpe.

The Lord is my strength and my song: and is become my saluation.

The voice of ioy and health is in the dwellings of the righ∣teous: the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to passe.

The right hand of the Lorde hath the preeminence: the right hand of the Lord bringeth mightie things to passe.

I wil not die, but liue: and declare the works of the Lord.

The Lord hath chastend and corrected mee: but hee hath not giuen me ouer vnto death.

Open me the gates of righteousnesse: that I may goe into them, and giue thankes vnto the Lord.

This is y^e gate of the Lord: the rightteous shal enter into it.

I mil thanke thee, for thou hast heard me: and art become my saluation.

The same stone which the builders refused: is become the head ston in the corner.

This is the Lords doing: and it is marueilous in out eyes.

This is the day which the Lord hath made: wee will re∣ioyce and bee glad in it.

Helpe me now, O Lord: O Lord send vs now prosperitie.

Blessed be he that commeth in the name of the Lord: wee haue wished you good luck, ye that be of y^e house of the Lord.

God is the Lord which hath shewed vs light: binde the sacrifice with cords, yea, euen vnto the hornes of the altar.

Thou art my God, and I will thanke thee: thou art my God, and I will praise thee.

O giue thankes vnto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his mercie endureth for euer.

Beati imaculati. Psal. 119.

BLessed are those that are vndefi∣led in the way: * 1.48 and walke in the Law of the Lord.

Blessed are they that keepe his testimonies: and seeke him with their whole heart.

For they which doe no wicked∣nes: walke in his wayes.

Thou hast charged: that wee shal diligently keepe thy comman∣dements.

O that my wayes were made so direct: that I might keep thy statutes.

So shall I not be confounded: while I haue respect vnto all thy commandements.

I will thanke thee with an vnfained hart: when I sall haue learned the iudgements of thy righteousnesse.

I will keepe thy ceremonies: O forsake me not vtterly.

In quo corriget.

Wherewithall shall a yong man clense his way: euen by ruling himselfe after thy word.

With my whole heart haue I sought thee: O let me not goe wrong out of thy commandements.

Thy wordes haue I hid within my heart: that I should not sinne against thee.

Blessed art thou, O Lord: O teach me thy statutes.

With my lippes haue I been telling: of all the iudgements of thy mouth.

I haue had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies: as in all maner of riches.

I will talke of thy commandements: and haue respect vn∣to thy wayes.

My delight shall be in thy statutes: and I will not forget thy word.

Retribue seruo tuo.

O Doe well vnto thy seruant: that I may liue, and keepe thy word.

Open thou mine eyes: that I may see the wonderous things of thy Lawe.

I am a stranger vpon earth: O hide not thy commande∣ments from me.

My soule breaketh out for the very fernent desire: that it hath away vnto thy iudgements.

Thou hast rebuked the proud: and cursed are they that do erre from thy commandements.

O turne from me shame and rebuke: for I haue kept thy testimonies.

Princes also did sit and speake aganist me: but thy seruant is occupied in thy statutes.

For thy testimonies are my delight: and my counsellers.

Adhaesit pauimento.

MY soule cleaueth to the dust: O quickent thou mee accor∣ding to thy word.

I haue knowledged my wayes, and thou heardest me: O teach me thy statutes.

Make me to vnderstand the way of thy commandements: and so shall I talke of thy wonderous workes.

My soule melteth away for very heauinesse: comfort thou me according vnto thy word.

Take from mee the way of lying: and cause thon mee to make much of thy Lawe.

I haue chosen the way of trueth: and thy iudgments haue I said befor me.

I haue stiken vnto thy testimontes: O Lord confound me not.

I wil runne the way of thy commandements: When thou hast set my heart at libertie.

Legem pone.

TEach me, * 1.49 O Lord, the way of thy statues: and I shall keepe it vnto the end.

Giue me vnderstanding, and I shall keepe thy Law: yea, I shall keepe it with my whole heart.

Make mee to goe in the path of thy commandements: for therein is my desire.

Incline my heart vnto thy testi∣inonies: and not to couetousnesse.

O turne away mine eyes, lest they behold vanitie: and quicken thou me in thy way.

O stablish thy word in thy seruant: that I may feare thee.

Take away the rebuke that I am afraid of: for thy indge∣ments are good.

Behold, my delight is in thy commandements: O quicken me in thy righteousnesse.

Et veniat super me.

LEt thy louing mercie come also vnto mee, O Lord: euen thy saluation, according vnto thy word.

So shall I make answere vnto my blasphemers: for my trust is in thy word.

O take not the word of thy trueth vtterly out of my mouth: for my hope is in thy iudgements.

So shall I alway keepe thy Law: yea, for euer and euer.

And I will walke at libertie: for I seeke thy commande∣ments.

I will speake of thy testimonies also, euen before kings: and will not be ashamed.

And my delight shall be in thy commandements: which

I haue loued.

My hands also will I lift vp vnto thy commandements, which I haue loued: and my studie shalbe in thy statutes.

Memor esto verbi tui.

O Thinke vpon thy seruant, as concerning thy worde: wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust.

The same is my comfort in my trouble: for thy word hath quickened me.

The proud haue had mee exceedingly in derision: yet haue I not shrinked from thy Law.

For I remembred thine euerlasting iudgements, O Lord: and receiued comfort.

I am horribly afraid: for the vngodly that forsake thy law.

Thy statutes haue been my songs: in the house of my pil∣grimage.

I haue thought vpon thy Name, O Lord, in the night season: and haue kept thy Law.

This I had: because I kept thy commandements.

Portio mea Domine.

THou art my portion, O Lord: I haue promised to keepe thy Law.

I made my humble petitiō in thy presence with my whole heart: O be mercifull vnto me according to thy word.

I called mine owne waies to remembrance: and turned my feete vnto thy testimonies.

I made haste, and prolonged not the time: to keepe thy commandements.

The congregation of the vngodly haue robbed me: but I haue not forgotten thy Law.

At midnight I will rise to giue thankes vnto thee: because of thy righteous iudgements.

I am a companion of all them that feare thee: and keepe thy commandements.

The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercie: O tearh mee thy statutes.

Bonitatem fecisti.

O Lorde, thou hast dealt graciously with thy seruant: ac∣cording vnto thy word.

O learne mee true vnder standing and knowledge: for I haue bleeued thy commandements.

Before I was troubled, I went wrong: but now haue I kept thy word.

Thou art good and gracious: O teach me thy statutes.

The proud haue imagined a lie against mee: but I will keepe thy commandements with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as brawne: but my delight hath been in thy Law.

It is good for me that I haue been in trouble: that I may learne thy statutes.

The law of thy month is dearer vnto me: then thousands of gold and siluer.

Manus tuae secerunt me.

THy hands haue made mee, * 1.50 and fa∣shioned me: O giue me vnderslan∣ding, that I may learne thy com∣mandements.

They that feare thee, will bee glad whan they see me: because I haue put my trust in thy word.

I knowe (O Lorde) that thy iudgements are right: and that thou of very faithfulnesse hast cau∣sed me to be troubled.

O let thy mereifull kindnesse bee my comfort: according to thy word vnto thy seruant.

O let thy louing mercies come vnto mee, that I may liue: For thy Law is my delight.

Let the proud be confounded, for they goe wickedly about to destroy me: but I wil be occupied in thy commandements.

Let such as feare thee, and haue knowen thy testimones: be turned vnto me.

O let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I bee not a∣shamed.

Defecit anima mea.

MY soule hath longed for thy saluation: and I haue a good hope because of thy word.

Mine eyes long fore for thy worde: saying, O when wilt thou comfort me?

For I am become like a bottell in the smoke: yet doe I not forget thy statutes.

How many are the dayes of thy seruant: when will thou be auenged of them that persecute me?

The proud haue digged pits for mee: which are not after thy Law.

All thy commandements are true: they persecute me falsly, O be thou my helpe.

They had almost made an ende of mee vpon earth: but I forsooke not thy commandements.

O quicken mee after thy louing kindnesse: and so shall I keepe the testimonies of thy mou••h.

In aeternum Domine.

O Lord, thy word: endureth for euer in heauen.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another: thou hast layd the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

They continue this day according to thine ordinance: for all things serue thee.

If my delight had not been in thy Lawe: I should haue perished in my trouble.

I will neuer forget thy commandements: for with them thou hast quickened me.

I am thine, O saue me: for I haue sought thy commande∣ments.

The vngodly layd waite for me, to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

I see that all things come to anende: but thy commande∣ment is exceeding broad.

Quomodo dilexi.

LOrd, what loue haue I vnto thy Law: all the day long is my studie in it.

Thou through thy commandements hast made me wi∣ser then mine enemies: for they are euer with me.

I haue more vnder∣standing then my teachers: for thy te∣stimonies are my studie.

I am wiser then the aged: because I keepe thy comman∣dements.

I haue refrained my feete from euery euill way: that I may keepe thy word.

I haue not shrunke from thy iudgements: for thou tea∣chest me.

O how sweete are thy words vnto my throte: yea, swee∣ter then honie vnto my mouth.

Through thy commaundements I get vnderstanding: therefore I hate all wicked wayes.

Lucerna pedibus meis.

THy worde is a lanterne vnto my feete: * 1.51 and a light vnto my paths.

I haue sworne, and am sted∣fastly purposed: to keepe thy righ∣teous iudgements.

I am troubled aboue measure: quicken me (O Lrde) according to thy word.

Let the free wil offrings of my mouth please thee, O Lorde: and teach me thy iudgements.

My soule is alway in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

The vngodly haue layde a snare for mee: but I swarued not from thy commandements.

Thy testimonies haue I claimed as mine heritage for e∣uer: and why? they are the very ioy of my heart.

I haue applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway: euen vnto the ende.

Iniquos odio habui.

I Hate them that imagine euill things: but thy Law doe I loue.

Thou art my defence and shielde: and my trust is in thy word.

Away from me yee wicked: I will keepe the commande∣ments of my God.

O stablish mee according to thy worde, that I may liue: and let me not be disappointed of my hope.

Holde thou me vp, and I shall be safe: yea, my delight shall be euer in thy statutes.

Thou hast troned downe all them that depart from thy statutes: for they imagine but deceit.

Thou pettest away al the vngodly of the earth like drosse: therefore I loue thy testimonies.

My flesh trembleth for feare of thee: and I am afraide of thy iudgements.

Feci iudicium.

I Deale with the thing that is lawfull and right: O giue me not ouer mine oppressors.

Make thou thy seruant to delight in that which is good: that the proude doe me no wrong.

Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health: and for the word of thy righteousnesse.

O deale with thy seruant according vnto thy louing mer∣rie:and teach me thy statutes.

I am thy seruant, O graunt mee vnderstanding: that I may know thy testimonies.

It is time for thee Lord to lay to thine hand: for they haue destroyed thy Law.

For I loue thy commandements: aboue golde and preci∣ous stone.

Therefore holde I stright all thy commandemebts: and all selfe wayes I vtterly abhorre.

Mirabilia.

THy testimonies are wonder full: therefore doeth my soule keepe them.

When thy worde goeth foorth: it giueth light and vnder∣standing vnto the simple.

I opened my mouth, and drewe in my breath: for my de∣light was in thy commandementes.

O looke thou vpon me, and be mercifull vnto me: as thou vsest to doe vnto those that loue thy Name.

Order my steps in thy worde: and so shall no wickednesse haue dominion ouer me.

O deliuer me from the wrongfull dealings of men: and so shall I keepe thy commandementes.

Shew the light of thy countenance vpon thy seraunt: and taech me thy statutes.

Mine eyes gush out with water: because men keepe not thy Law.

Iustus es Domine.

RIghteous art thou, O Lord: and true is thy iudgement.

The testimonies that thou hast commaunded: are ex∣ceeding righteous and true.

My zeale hath euen consumed mee: because mine enemies haue forgooten thy words.

Thy word is tryed to the vttermost: and thy seruant lo∣ueth it.

I am small and of no reputation: yet doe I not forget thy commandementes.

Thy righteousuesse is an euerlasting righteousnesse: and thy law is the trueth.

Trouble and heauinesse haue taken hold vpon mee: yet is my delight in thy commandementes.

The righteousnesse of thy testimonies is euerlasting: O grant me vnderstanding, and I shall liue.

Clamaui in toto corde meo.

I call with my whole heart: * 1.52 heare mee, O Lord, I will keepe thy statutes.

Yea, euen vpon thee doe I call: helpe me, and I shall keepe thy testimonies.

Early in the morning doe I cry vnto thee: for in thy word is my trust.

Mine eyes preuent the night watches:that I might bee occupied in thy words.

Heare my voice (O Lord) according vnto thy louing kind∣nesse: quitken me according as thou art eont.

They drawe nigh that of malice persecute mee: and are farre from thy law.

Be thou nigh at hand, O Lord: for all thy commande∣ments are true.

As concerning thy testimonies, I haue knowen long since: that thou hast grounded them for euer.

Vide humilitatem.

O Consider mine aduersitie, and deliuer me: for I doe not forget thy Law.

Auenge thou my rause and deliuer me: quicken mee according vnto thy word.

Health is farre from the vngodly: for they regard not thy statutes.

Great is thy mercie, O Lord: quicken mee, as thou art woont.

Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me: yet do I not swarue from thy restimonies.

It grieueth mee when I see the transgressours: because they kept not thy Law.

Consider, O Lord, how I loue thy commandements: O quicken me according to thy louing kindnesse.

Thy word is true from euerlasting: all the iudgements of thy righteousnesse endure for euermore.

Principes persecuti sunt.

PRinces haue perseruted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of the words.

I am as glad of thy worde: as one that findeth great spoyles.

As for lyes I hate and abhorre them: but thy law doe I loue.

Seuen times a day doe I praise thee: because of thy righ∣teous iudgements.

Great is the peace that they haue which loue thy Law: and they are not offended at it.

Lord, I haue looked for thy sauing health: and done after thy commandements.

My soule hath kept thy testimonies: and loued them excee∣dingly.

I haue kept thy commandements and testimonies: for all my wayes are before thee.

Appropinquet deprecatio.

LEt my complaint come before thee, O Lord; giue me vn∣derstanding according to thy word.

Let my supplication come before thee: deliuer me ac∣cording

to thy word.

My lips shall speake of thy praise: when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

Yea, my tongue shall sing of thy word: for all thy comman∣dements are righteous.

Let thine hand helpe me: for I haue chosen thy comman∣dements.

I haue louged for thy sauing health, O Lord: and in thy Law is my delight.

Oh let my soule liue, and it shall praise thee: and thy iudge∣ments shall helpe me.

I haue gone astray like a sheepe that is lost: Oh seeke thy seruant, for I doe not forget thy commandements.

Ad Dominum. Psal. 120.

When I was in trouble, * 1.53 I called vpon the Lord: and he heard me.

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes: and from a deceitfull tongue.

What reward shall be giuen or done vnto thee thou false tongue: euen mighty and sharpe arrowes, with hote burning coales.

Woe is me, that I am constrai∣ned to dwell with Mesech: and to haue mine habitation a∣mong the tents of Cedar.

My soule hath long dwelt among them: that be enemies vnto peare.

I labour for peare, but when I speake vnto them thereof: they make them readie to battaile.

Leuaui oculos. Psal. 121.

I will lift vp mine eyes vnto the hilles: from whence com∣meth my helpe.

My helpe commeth euen from the Lorde: which hath made heauen and earth.

He will not suffer thy foote to be mooued: and he that kee∣peth thee, will not sleepe.

Behold, hee that keepeth Israel: shall neithet slumber

nor sleepe.

The Lord himself is thy keeper: the Lord is thy defence vpon thy right hand.

So that the sunne shall not burne the by day: neither the moone by night.

The Lord shall preserue thee from all euill: yea, it is euen he that shall keepe thy soule.

The Lord shall preserue thy going out and thy comming in: from this time foorth for euermore.

Laetatus sum. Psal, 122.

I was glad when they said vuto me: We will goe into the house of the Lord.

Our seete shall stand in thy gates: O Hierusalem.

Hierusalem is builded as a citie: that is at vnitie in it selfe.

For thither the tribes goe vp, euen the tribes of the Lord: to testifie vnto Israel, to giue thankes vnto the Name of the Lord.

For there is the seate of iudgement: euen the seate of the house of Dauid.

O pray for the peate of Ierusalem: they shall prosper that loue thee.

Peace bee within thy walles: and plentconsuesse within thy palaces.

For my brethren and companions sakes: I will with thee prosperitie.

Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God: I wil seeke to doe thee good.

Ad te leuaui oculos meos. Psal. 123.

VNto thee lift I vp mine eyes: O thou that dwellest in the heauens.

Beholde, euen as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistresse: euen so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God, vntill he haue mercie vpon vs.

Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we are vtterly despised.

Our soule is filled with the scornefnll reproofe of the weal∣thy: and with the dispitefulnesse of the proud.

Nisi quia Dominus. Psal. 124.

IF the Lorde himselfe had not bene on our side (now may Israel say:) if the Lorde himselfe had not bene on one side when men rose vp against vs.

They had swallowed vs vp quicke: when they were so wrathfully displeased at vs.

Yea, the waters had drowned vs: and the streame had gone ouer our soule.

The deepe waters of the proude: had gone euen ouer our soule.

But praised be the Lord: which hath not giuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth.

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the fouler: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Our helpe standeth in the Name of the Lord: which hath made heauen and earth.

Qui confidunt. Psal. 125.

They that put their trust in the Lord, shall be euen as the mount Sion: which may not be remooued, but standeth fast for euer.

The his stand about Hierusalem: euen so standeth the Lord round about his people, from this time foorth for euer∣more.

For the rod of the vngodly commeth not into the lot of the righteous: least the righteous put their hand vnto wicked∣nesse.

Doe well, O Lord: vnto those that be good and true of heart.

As for such as turne backe vnto their owne wickednesse: the Lord shall lead them forth with the euill doers, but peace shall be vpon Israel.

In conuertendo. Psal. 126.

WHen the Lord turned againe the captiuitie of Si∣on: * 1.54 then were we like vnto them that dsreame.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter: and our tongue with ioy.

Then said they among the Heathen: the Lord hath done great things for them.

Yea, the Lorde hath done great things for vs alreadie: whereof we reioyce.

Turne our captiuity, O Lord: as the riuers in the South.

They that sowe in teares: shall reape in ioy.

He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seede: shall doubtlesse come againe with ioy, and bring his sheaues with him.

Nisi Dominus. Psal. 127.

Except the Lorde build the house: their labour is but lost that build it.

Except the Lord keepe the city: the watchman waketh but in baine.

It is but lost labour that yee haste to rise vp earely, and so late take rest, and eate the bread of carefulnesse: for so hee gi∣ueth his beloued sleepe.

Loe, children and the fruite of the wombe: are an heritage and gift that commeth of the Lord.

Like as the arrowes in the hand of the Giant: euen so are the yong children.

Happie is the man that hath his quiuer full of them: they shal not be ashamed when they speake with their enemies in the gate.

Beati omnes. Psal. 128.

BLessed are all they that feare the Lord: and walke in his wayes.

For thou shalt eate the labours of thine hands: O well is thee, and happie shalt thou be.

Thy wife shall be as the fruitfull vine: vpon the walles of thine house.

Thy children like the Oliue branches: round about thy table.

Loe, thus shall the man be blessed: that feareth the Lord.

The Lord from out of Sion shall so blesse thee: that thou shalt see Hierusalem in prosperitie all thy life long

Yea, that thou shalt see thy childrens children: and peace vpon Israel.

Saepe expugnauerunt. psal. 129.

MAny a time haue they fought against mee from my youth vp; (may Israel now say.)

Yea, many a time haue they vexed mee from my youth vp: but they haue not preuailed against me.

The plowers plowed vpon my backe: and made long fur∣rowes.

But the righteous Lord: hath hewen the snares of the vn∣godly in pieces.

Let them be confounded and turned backward: as many as haue euill will at Sion.

Let them bee euen as the grasse growing vpon the house tops: Which Withereth afore it be plucked vp.

Where of the mower filleth not his hand: neither hee that bindeth vp the sheaues, his bosome.

So that they Which goe by, say not so much as y^e Lord pro∣sper you: We Wish you good lucke in the name of the Lord.

De profundis. Psal. 130.

OUt of the deep haue I called vnto thee, (O Lord:) Lord heare my voice.

Oh let thine eyes consider well: the voice of my com∣plaint.

If thou Lord wilt beeextreme to marke what is done a∣misse: O Lord, Who may abide it.

For there is mercie With thee: theefore shalt thou be feared.

I looke for the Lord, my soule doth waite for him: in his word is my trust.

My soule fleeth vnto the Lord: before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch.

O Israel trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercie: and with him is plenteous redemption.

And he shall redeeme Israel: from all his sinnes.

Domine, non est. psal. 131

LOrd, I am not high minded: I haue no proud lookes.

I doe note exercise my selfe in great matters: which are too high for me.

But I refraine my soule, and keepe it low, like as a childe that is weaned from his mother: yea, my soule is euen as a weaned childe.

O Israel trust in the Lord: from this time forth for euer∣more.

Memento Domine. Psal. 132.

LOrde remember Dauid: * 1.55 and all his trouble.

How he sware vnto the Lord: and bowed a bowe vnto the Al∣mightie God of Iacob.

I will not come within the ta∣bernacle of mine house: nor clime vp into my bed.

I will not suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye liddes to slumber: neither the temples of my head to take any rest.

Untill I finde out a place for the temple of the Lord: an habitation for the mightie God of Iacob.

Loe we heard of the same at Ephrata: and found it in the wood.

We will goe into his tabenacle: and follow on our knees before his foote stoole.

Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the arke of thy strength.

Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse: and let thy Saints sing with ioy fulnesse.

For thy seruant Dauids sake: turne not away the presence of thine anoynted.

The Lord hath made a faithfull othe vnto Dauid: and he shall not shrinke from it.

Of the fruite of thy body: shall I set vpon thy seate.

If thy children will keepe my couenant, and my testimo∣nies that I shal learne them: their children also shall sit vpon thy seate for euermore.

For the Lorde hath chosen Sion to bee an habitation for himselfe: he hath longed for her.

This shall bee my rest for euer: heere will I dwell, for I haue a delight therein.

I will blesse her vitailes with increase: and wil satisfie her poore with bread.

I will decke her Priests with healthy: and her saints shall reioyce and sing.

There shal I make the horne of Dauid to florish: I haue ordeined a lanterne for mine anointed.

As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame: but vpon himselfe shall his crowne florish.

Ecce quàm bonum. Psal. 133.

BEhold how good and ioyful a thing it is: brethren to dwell together in vnitie.

It is like the precious oyntment vpon the head, that ranne downe vnto the beard: euen vnto Aarons beard, and went downe to the skirtes of his clothing.

Like as the dewe of Hermon: which fell vpon the hill of Sion.

For three the Lord promised his blessing: and life for cuer∣more.

Ecce nunc. Psal. 134.

BEholde (nowe) praise the Lorde: all yee seruants of the Lord

Ye that by night stand in the house of the Lord: euen in the courts of the house of our God.

Lift vp your hands in the sanctuarie: and praise the Lord.

The Lord that made heauen and earth: giue thee blessing out of Sion.

Laudate nomen. Psal. 135.

O Praise the Lord, laud ye the Name of the Lord: praise it, O ye seruants of the Lord.

Yee that stand in the house of the Lord: in the courts of the house of our God.

O praise the Lord, for the Lord is gracious: O sing praises vnto his Name, for it is louely.

For why? the Lord hath chosen Iacob vnto himselfe: and Israel for his owne prossession.

For I knowe that the Lorde is great: and that our

Lord is aboue all gods.

Whatsoeuer the Lord pleased, that did he in heauen and in earth: and in the sea, and in all deepe places.

He bringeth forth the clouds from the endes of the world: and sendeth foorth lightenings with the raine, bringing the windes out of his treasures.

He smote the first borne of Egypt: both of man and beast.

He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middest of thee, O thou land of Egypt: vpon Pharao and all his seruants.

He smote diuers nations: and flew mightie kings.

Sehon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Basan: and all the kingdomes of Chanaan.

And gaue their land to bee an heritage: euen an heritage vnto Israel his people.

Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: doeth thy me∣moriall, O Lord, from one generation to another.

For the Lord wil auenge his people: and be gracious vnto his seruants.

As for the images of the heathen, they are but siluer and gold: the worke of mens hands.

They haue mouthes and speake not: eyes haue they, but they see not.

They haue eares, and yet thay heare not: neither is there any breath in their mouthes.

They that make them, are like vnto them: and so are all they that put their trust in them.

Praise the Lorde yee house of Israel: praise the Lorde yee house of Aaron.

Praise the Lorde ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

Praised be the Lorde out of Sion: which dwelleth at Hie∣rusalem.

Confitemini. Psal. 136.

O Giue thankes vnto the Lord, * 1.56 for he is gracious: and his mercie endureth for euer.

O giue thankes vnto the God of all gods: for his mercie endureth for euer.

O thanke the Lord of all lordes: for his mercie

endureth for euer.

Which onely doeth great woonders: for his mercie endu∣reth for euer.

Which by his excellent wisdome made the heauenens: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Which laid out the earthy aboue the waters: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Which hath made great lights: for his mercie endureth for euer.

The sunne to rule the day: for his mercie endureth for euer.

The moone and the starres to gouerne the night: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Which sinote Egypt with their first borne: for his mercie endureth for euer.

And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercie endureth for euer.

With a mighty hand and a stretched out arme: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Which diuided the redde Sea in two parts: for his mercie endureth for euer.

And made Israel to goe through the middest of it: for his mercie endureth for euer.

But as for Pharao and his hoste, hee overthrewe them in the red sea: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Which ledde his people through the wildernesse: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Which sinote great Kings: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Yea, and slew mightie Kings: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Sehon King of the Amorities: for his mercie endureth for euer.

And Og the King of Basan: for his mercie endureth for euer.

And gaue away their lande for an heritage: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Euen for an heritage vnto Israel his seruant: for his mer∣cie endureth for euer.

Which remembred vs when wee were in trouble: for his mercie endureth for euer.

And hath deliuered vs from our enemies: for his mercie endureth for euer.

Which giucth foode to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for euer.

O giue thankes vnto the God of heauen: for his mercy endureth for euer.

O giue thankes vnto the Lord of lords: for his mercie en∣dureth for euer.

Super flumina. Psal. 137.

By the waters of Babylon we sate downe and wept: when we remembred (thee) O Sion.

As for our harpes, we hanged them vp: vpon the trees that are therein.

For they that; ledde vs away captiue, required of vs then a song and melodie in our heauinesse: sing vs one of the songs of Sion.

How shall we sing the Lords song: in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Hierusalem: let my right hand forget her cunning.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to y^e roofe of my mouth: yea, if I prferre not Hierusalem in my mirth.

Remember the children of Edom, O Lorde, in the day of Hierusalem: how they said, Downe with it, downe with it, euen to the ground.

O daughter of Babylon, wasted with miserie: yea, happie shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast serued vs.

Blessed shall he be that taketh thy children: and throweth them against the stones.

Confitebor tibi. Psal. 138.

I wil giue thanks vnto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I sing praise vnto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy Temple, and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindnesse and trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name, and thy word aboue all things.

When I called vpon thee, thou heardest me: and enduedst my soule with much strength.

All the Kings of the earth shall prayse thce, O Lord: for they haue heard the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing the wayes of the Lord: that great is the glorie of the Lord.

For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect vnto the lowly: as for the proude, he beholdeth them a farre off.

Though I walke in the middest to trouble, yet shalt thou refresh mee: thou shalt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the fu∣riousnesse of mine enemies, and thy right hand shal saue me.

The Lord shall make good his louing kindenesse toward mee: yea thy mercie, O Lord, eudureth for euer despise not then workes of thine owne hands.

Domine probasti. psal. 139

O Lord, * 1.57 thou hast searched mee out, and knowen mee: thou knowest my downe sitting, & mine vprising, thou vnderstandest my thoughts long before.

Thou art about my path, and about my bed: and spiest out al my wayes.

For loe, there is not a word in my toungue: but thon, O Lorde, knowest it altogether.

Thou hast fashioned me behinde and before: and laid thine hand vpon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderfull and excellent for mee: I cannot attaine vnto it.

Whither shall I goe then from thy spirit: or whither shall I goe then from thy presence?

If I clime vp into heauen, thou art there: If go downe in hell, thou art there also.

If I take the wings of the morning: and remaine in the vttermost parts of the sea.

Euen there also shall thy hand leade mee: and thy right hand shall hold me.

If I say, Peraduenture the darkenesse shall couer mee: then shall my night be turned to day.

Yea, the darkenesse is no darkenesse with thee, but the night is as cleare as the day: the darknesse and light (to thee) are both alike.

For my reines are thine: thou hast couered mee in my mo∣thers wombe.

I will giue thankes vnto thee, for I am fearefully and wonderfully made: marueilous are thy works, and that my soule knoweth right well.

My bones are not hid from thee: though I be made secret∣ly, and fashioned beneath in the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being vnperfect: and in thy booke were all my members written which day by day were fashioned: when as yet there was none of them.

How deare are thy counsels vnto mee, O God: O how great is the sumine of them?

If I tell them, they are moe in number then the sand: when I wake vp, I am present with thee.

Wilt thou not slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me, ye bloodthirstie men.

For they speake vnrighteously against thee: and thine ene∣mies take thy name in vaine.

Doe not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee: and am not I grieued with those that rise vp against thee?

Yea, I hate them right fore: euen as though they were mine enemies.

Trie me, O God, and seeke the ground of my heart: prooue me, and examine my thoughts.

Looke well if there be any may of wickednesse in me: and leade me the may euerlasting.

Eripe me Domine. Psal. 140.

DEliuer me O Lord from the euill man: and preserue me from the wicked man.

Which imagine mischiefe in their hearts: and stirre vp strife all the day long.

They haue sharpened their tongues like a Serpent: Ad∣ders poyson is vnder their lips.

Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the vngodly:

Preserue mee from the wicked men, which are purposed to o∣uerthrow my goings.

The proud haue laid a fanare for me, and spread a net aborad with cordes: yea, and set traps in my way.

I said vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare the boyce of my prayers, O Lord.

O Lord God, Tbou strength of my health: thou hast coue∣red my head in the day of battell.

Let not the vngodly haue his desire, O Lord: let not his mischicuous imagination prosper, lest they be too proud.

Let the mischiefe of their owne lips fall vpon the head of them: that compasse me about.

Let hotte burning coales fall vpon them: let them bee cast into the fire, and into the pit, that they neuer rise vp againe.

A man full of wordes, shall not prosper vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the wicked person to ouerthrow hilll.

Sure I am that the Lorde will auenge the poore: and maintaine the cause of the helelesse.

The righteous also shall guie thankes vnto they name: and the ••ust shall continue in thy sight.

Domine clamaui. psal 141.

LOrd, I call vpon thee, haste thee vnto mee: and consider my voyce, when I crie vnto thee.

Let my prayer bee set foorth in thy sight as the incense: and let the lifting vp of my hands be an euening facrifice.

Set a watch, O Lorde, before my mouth: and keepe the doore of my lips.

O let not mine heart be cnclined to any euill thing: let mee not be occupied in vngodly workes, with the man that worke Wickednesse, left I eate of such things as please them.

Let the righteous rather smite me friendiy: and reprooue me.

But let not their precious balmes breake mine head: yea, I will pray yet against their wickednesse.

Let their iudges be ouerthrowen in ftony places: that they may heare my wordes, for they are sweete.

Our bones lie scattered before the pit: like as when one breaketh and he weth wood vpon the earth.

But mine eyes looke vnto thee, O Lorde God: in thee is my trust, O cast not out my soule.

Keepe mee from the snare which they haue laide for mee: and from the traps of the wicked doers.

Let the vngodly fall into their owne nets together: and let me euer escape them.

Voce mea ad Dominum. Psal. 142.

ICried vnto y^e Lord with my voyce: * 1.58 yea, euen vnto the Lord did I make my supplication.

I powred out my complaints before him: and shewed him of my trouble.

When my spirite was in heauinesse, thou knewest my path: in y^e way wherein I wal∣ked, haue they priuily laid a snare for me.

I looked also vpon my right hand: and sawe there was no man that would know me.

I had no place to flee vnto: and no man cared for my soule.

I cried vnto thee, O Lorde, and sayd: thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the liuing.

Consider my complaint: for I am brought very low.

O deliuer mee from my persecutours: for they are too strong for me.

Bring my soule out of prison, that I may giue thankes vn∣to thy name: which thing if thou wilt graunt mee, then shall the righteous resort vnto my companie.

Domine exaudi. Psal. 143.

HEare my prayer, O Lord, and consider my desire: hearken vnto me for thy trueth and righteousnesse sake.

And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall no man liuing be iusrified.

For the enemie hath persecuted my soule, he hath smitten my life downe to the ground: hee hath laid mee in the darke∣nesse, as the men that haue bene long dead.

Therefore is my spirite bexed within mee: and my heart within me is desolate.

Yet doe I remember the time past, I muse vpon all they workes: yea, I exercise my selfe in the workes of thy hands.

I stretch foorth my handes vnto thee: my soule gaspeth

vnto thee as a thirstie land.

Heare me, O Lorde, and that soone, for my spirit wareth saint: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like vnto them that goe downe into the pit.

O let me heare thy louing kindnesse betimes in the mor∣ning, for in thee is my trust: shew thou me the way that I should walke in, for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.

Deliuer me, O Lord, frommine enemies: for I flee vnto thee to hide me.

Leach me to doe the thing that pleaseth thee, for thon art my God: let thy louing spirit leade me foorth into the land of rithteousnesse.

Quicken me, O Lorde, for thy names sake: and for thy rithteousnesse sake, bring my soule out of trouble.

And of thy goodnesse slay mine enemies: and destroy all them that vexe my soule, for I am thy seruant.

Benedictus Dominus. Psal. 144.

BLessed bee the Lord my strength: * 1.59 which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.

My hope and my fortresse, my castle and deliuerer, my defender, in whom I trust: which subdueth my people that is vnder me.

Lorde, what is man that thou hast such respect vnto him: or the some of man that thou so regar∣dest him?

Man is like a thing of nought: his time passeth away like a shadow.

Bowe the heauens, O Lord, and come downe: touch the mountaines, and they shall smoke.

Cast foorth thy lightning, and teare them: shoote out thine arrowes, and consume them.

Send downe thine hand from aboue: deliuer me, and take me out of the great waters, from the hand of strange children.

Whose mouth talketh of vanitie: and their right hand is a right hand of wickednesse.

I will sing a newe song vnto thee, O God: and sing pray∣ses vnto thee vpon a ten stringed Lute.

Thou hast giuen victorie vnto Kings: and hast deliuered David thy seruant from the perill of the sword.

Saue me, and deliuer me from the hand of strange chil∣dren: whose mouth talketh of vanitir, and their right hand is a right hand of miquitie.

That our sonnes may growe vp as thd yong plants: and that our daughters may bee as the polished corners of the Temple.

That our garners may be full and plenteous with all ma∣ner of store: that our sheepe may bring soorth thousands and teu thousands in our streetes.

That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there bee no decay: no leading into captiuitie, and no complaining in our streetes.

Happie are the people that bee in such a case: yea, blessed are the people which haue the Lord for their God.

Exaltabo te Deus. Psal. 145.

I will magnifie thee, O God, my King: and I will praise thy Name for euer and euer.

Euery day will I giue thankes vnto thee: and praise thy Name for euer and euer.

Great is the Lord, and marueilous worthy to bee praysed: there is no end of his greatnesse.

One generation shall praise thy workes vnto another: and declare thy power.

As for me, I will be talking of thy worship: thy glory, thy praise, and wonderour works.

So that men shall speake of the might of thy marueilous actes: and I will also tell of thy greatnesse.

The memoriall of thine abundant kindnes shalbe shewed: and men shall sing of thy righteousnesse.

The Lord is gracious and mercifull: long suffering, and of great goodnesse.

The Lord is louing vnto euery man: and his mex•••••• is o∣uer all his works.

All thy workes prayse thee, O Lorde: and thy Saintes

giue thankes vnto thee.

They shew the glory of thy kingdom: & talke of thy power.

That thy power, thy glorie, and mightinesse of thy king∣dome: might be knowen vnto men.

Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome: and thy domi∣nion endureth throughout all ages.

The Lorde vpholdeth all such as fall: and lifteth vp all those that be downe.

The eyes of all waite vpon thee, O Lord: and thou giuest them their meat in due season.

Thou openest thine hand: and fillest all things liuing with plenteousnesse.

The Lord is righteous in all his wayes: and holy in all his workes.

The Lorde is nigh vnto all them that call vpon him: yea, all such as call vpon him faithfully.

He will fulfill the desire of them that feare him: he also wil heare their cry, and will helpe them.

The Lord preserueth all them that loue him: but scatteretly abroad all the vngodly.

My mouth shall speake the praise of the Lorde: and let all flesh giue thankes vnto his holy Name for euer and euer.

Lauda anima mea. Psal. 146.

PRayse the Lord, O my soule, while I liue wil I praise the Lord: yea, as long as I haue any being, I wil sing praises vnto my God.

O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man: for there is no helpe in them.

For when the breath of man goeth foorth, he shall turne a∣gaine to his earth: and then all his thoughts perish.

Blessed is he that hath the God of Iacob for his helpe: and whose hope is in the Lord his God.

Which made heauen and earth, the sea and all that therein is: which keepeth his promise for euer.

Which helpeth them to right that suffer wrong: which see∣deth the hungry.

The Lord looseth men out of prison: the Lord giueth sight to the blinde.

The Lord helpeth them that are fallen: the Lord careth for the righteous.

The Lord careth for the strangers, hee defendeth the fa∣therlesse and widow: as for the way of the vngodly, hee tur∣neth it vpside downe.

The Lord thy god O Sion, shall bee King for euermore: and throughout all generations.

Laudate Dominum, Psal. 147.

Praise y^e Lord, * 1.60 for it is a good thing to sing praises vnto our god: yea, a ioyfull and pleasant thing it is to be thankefull.

The Lord doeth build vp Hieru∣salem: and gather together the outcasts of Israel.

He healeth those that are broken in heart: & giueth medicine to heale their sicknesse.

He telleth the number of the starres: and calleth them all by their names.

Great is our Lord, and great is his power: yea, & his wise∣dome is infimte.

The Lord setteth vp the meeke: and bringeth the vngodly downe to the ground.

O siug vnto the Lord with thanksgining: sing praises vp∣on the harpe vnto our God.

Which couereth the heauen with clouds, & prepareth raine for the earth: and maketh the grasse to groe vpon the moun∣taines, and herbe for the vse of men.

Which giueth fodder vnto the cattel: and feedeth the yong rauens that call vpon him.

He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse: neither de∣lighteth he in any mans legs.

But the Lords delight is in them that feare him: and put their trust in his mercy.

Praise the Lord, O Hierusalem: praise thy God O Sion.

For hee hath made fast the barres of thy gates and hath

Blessed thy children within thee.

He maketh peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the flowre of wheate.

He sendeth foorth his commandement vpon earth: and his word runneth very swiftly.

He gineth snow like wooll: and seattereth the hoare frost like ashes.

He tasteth foorth his yee like morsels: who is able to abide his ashes.

He sendeth out his worde, and melteth them: he bloweth with his winde, and the waters flowe.

He sheweth his word vnto Iarob: his statutes and ordi∣naures vnto Israel.

He hath not dealt so with any nation: neither haue the hea∣thue knowledge of his lawes.

Beastes and all cattell: wormes, and feathered foules.

Young men and maidnes, olde man and children, prayse the name of the Lord: for his Mane onely is axcellent, and his prayse abour heauen and earth.

He shall exalt the home of his people, all his Saints shall prayse him: cuen the childern of Israel, euen the people that serueth him.

Cantate Domino. Psal. 149.

Let Israel reioyce in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be ioyfull in their king.

Let the Saints be ioyfull with glory: let them reioyce in their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their mouth: and at two edged sword in their hands.

To be auenged of the heathen: and to rebuke the people.

To bind their kings in chaines: & their nobles with linkes of yron.

That they may be auenged of them, as it is written: such honour haue all his Saints.

Laudate Dominum. Psal. 150.

O Prayse God in his holinesse: praise him in the firmament of his power.

Prayse him in his noble actes: prayse him according to his excellent greatnesse.

Praise him in the Cymbals and daunces: praise him vpon the stirings and pipe.

Praise him vpon the well tuned Cymbals: praise him vpon the loub Cymbals.

Let euery thing that hath breath: praise the Lord.
