David's Psalter /diligently and faithfully translated by George joy /with brief Arguments before every Psalm /declaring the effect thereof.  Psalm cxx 
Lord /deliver me from lying lips and from a deceaitful tongue    


¶ The Argument.  
¶ The description & praise of the Godly: the ungodly set forth against him.  
O /how blessed is the man /that goith not to counsel with the ungodly: nor abideth not in the way of the wicked /neither sitteth not down in the chair with the perverse pestilent skorners.  
But delighteth in the law of the Lord: and in it /hath his meditation day and night.  
This man is like the tree planted by the river side: which yildeth forth her fruit in her tyme.  
Whose leaves fall not down: all her fruit plenteously prospereth But contrary wise it cometh unto the ungodly: for they be like the dust dispersed of the wind.  
Wherefore /the sinful ungodly: may not live in the fellowship and congregation of the just.  
For as the way of the just pleaseth the Lord: even so doth the way of the ungodly perish.   

¶ The Argument.  
¶ A prophecy of Criste to be anointed king over the Gentilis: But first the furious uproar and vain enforcements of his enemies both of Gentiles and Iwes is described.  
SEE how the gentiles grin? se how the people enforce all in vain.  
The kings of the world run together: and the cheiftens swarm on heapis against the lord and his anointed.  
saying /let us break their bonds and cast of their yokiss from us.  
But he that dwelleth in heaven derideth them: it is the lord that skorneth them.  
In his furious wrath therefore: thus he troubleth and speaketh unto them.  
I shall verily anoint my king: over zion my holy hill  
I shall enstruck him in the law of the lord: and even thus do I affirm of him /Thou art my son /this day have I begotten the.  
Ask of me /and I shall give the the gentiles for thine inheritance: & even the uttermost coostes of the world shall be thy noun possession.  
Whom thou shalt correcke with an iron staff: and break like an erthen vessel.  
Wherefore ye kings see that ye be wise: and receive discipline /O judges of the earth.  
That ye may give the lord his honour: & serve him joyously with reverent fear.  
And that ye may embrace the son /jest he being wrath /ye perish for your mischief.  
For his anger shalbe shortly kindled: and then /o how blessed are they that trust in him.   

¶ The Title of the Psalm. ¶ The song of David as touching the fleinge from his son Absalon ii Reg. xv. xuj. etc.  

¶ Domine quid.  Psal. 3.  
WHat a multitude are they (o Lord) that trouble me? what a mayney make insurrection against me?  
What a multitude are they /that thus say by me? God will never help nor save him. 
* no more he will  Sela.  
When it is thou lord that fightest for me: even my glory which liftest up my head.  
I cry therefore loud unto the lord: and he heareth me from his holy hill.  
And now I lay myself down to sleep: and the lord sustayninge me /I rise agene.  
I fear not thousandis of the people /although they close me in round about.  
For thou lord my god shalt stepe sorthe to save me: thou shalt smite the chawnes of all my enemies and break to powder the teeth of the ungodly.  
Health and salvation are thine o Lord: power forth therefore thy goodness upon thy people.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 4. David's song adhortatorye played upon the music instruments.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ An exhortation unto godliness and innocency /the ungodly are blamed /and the felicity of the godly is declared.  
O god my rightwiseness which hearest me crying unto thee: & being in distress thou settest me forth at large /have mercy upon me and here my prayer.  
O men mortal /how long (my glorious majesty contemned) will ye love lies & seek vanity? 
* ever : Sela Whem will ye acknowledge that the Lord delivereth whom he loveth? the lord /when I cry upon him he heareth me.  
Trimble for fere and sin not: be take yourselves to sweet meditations in your beddies with silence.  
Offer up the sacrifices of innocency: and trust unto the Lord. This multitude was wont to say /who will do us good? when it is even thou Lord /which hast expressed the light of thy presence upon us.  
Whereby thou hast powered a greater gladness into my heart /then they can have in all the rich increase of their wheat and wine.  
In safeguard therefore and peace shall I lie down & sleep: for thou lord only givest me a sure habitation.   

¶ The Title of the Psalm. ¶ David his song adhortatorye /concerning the heretages.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ The description of two heretages /and the end of either of them.  
Hear my words lord: and understand my thought.  
Attend unto the voice of my crying /o king and my God: For before the I make my supplication.  
early in the morning here my voice Lord: for early dress I myself unto the in my contemplation.  
For thou art God /whom no ungodliness plesethe: with whom the malign dwelleth not.  
In thy presence the violent abideth not: thou hatest all workers of mischief.  
Thou destroyest liars: blodye and fraudelent thou aborrest o lord But I /animated with thy manifold goodness /am comen unto thy house: I adoure in thy holy temple /reverently feringe the.  
Lede me Lord in thy rightewisenes defensed from my adversaries: and prepare thy way before me.  
For the truth is not in their mouths /they are corrupted within: their throat is an open grave /but with their tongue they flatter.  
damn them o god /let them fall at their own counsels /cast them out for their own manifold mischief /for they are rebellious against the.  
But contrary wise /all men might rejoice that trust in thee: they might evermore be glad /thou being their defender.  
They might rejoice all in thee: which worship thy name.  
For thou lord art gracious unto the just: and with thy favour defendest him as with a buckler.   

¶ The Title of the Psal 6. ¶ The song adhortatorye of David played of the ten stringed instrument.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ Longanimite prayth /complaining her desire to be differred /but at the last she giveth thanks for that she is heard /and that her enemies begin to be confounded  
Lord /rebuke me not I pray the in thy wrath: neither chastise me not in thine anger.  
Have mercy on me Lord /for I am sick: hele me /Lord /for I am all in despair.  
For even my soul is grievously tempted: but thou lord /how long ceasest?  
Turn the Lord to deliver my soul: & save me for thy goodness. For among the dampened /there is noon that remember thee: in hell who is he (thinkest thou) that can praise thee?  
I labour in wailing /I wash my bed every night: and wet my pillow with my teris.  
My sight is lost with heavy mourning: I am withered up among so many mine enemies.  
But now ye shall avoid fro me /oh all ye sinful: for it is the Lord that hath heard the noise of my weeping.  
The lord hath heard me his suppliant: the Lord hath received my prayer.  
They shalbe shamed & sore troubled all that are my enemies: they shallbe turned back and confounded suddenly.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. ¶ Thindignation of David /which he sang upon the fact of Chus the son of jemini.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ Hetestifieth his innocency /he committeth his injury unto the rightwise judge /and showeth him not to sleep.  
Lord my god /in the do I trust: save me from all that persecute me/ & deliver me.  
Jest they ravessh & tear me in pesis like a lion: for there is noon else to deliver me.  
Lord my god /if I did this thing: if this fault be found in me:  
If I have hurted them again that hurted me: If I have unjustly spoiled mine enemy:  
Then let my enemy persuwe me and take me /and trede me down under his feet: ye let him thrust my glory in to the dirt. 
* Let him so do  Sela. Arise and be borne up lord with thy wrath and indignation against my adversaries /and perform that vengeance that thou hast promised.  
That the congregation of the people might be gathered together: even for their sakes /yet be thou exalted agene.  
O lord the avenger of the people avenge me according to mine innocency and pure living.  
Lease (I prayeth) the malignity of the ungodly: underset the just /o rightwise god enseer of hearts and reins.  
As for my suernes I refer it to god /of whom I receive it: which preserveth the right in heart.  
God thavenger is just: god threteneth at all times.  
If we turn not /lo /he shaketh his sword: he bendeth his bow ready to shoot.  
He reacheth him his weapons ready to slay: he heateth his arrow headis the more grievously to wound.  
Lo /this adversary traveleth groninge forth a monster: for he hath conceived labourouse affliction/ & wilbe delivered of a lie.  
He hath cutforth and digged up a dyke: and is fallen into his own pit.  
For his own miserable mischief shall fall into his own neck /and his heavy misery shall light upon his own head.  
I thank the Lord for his rightwiseness: and I shall praise the name of the lord which of all is the highest.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 8. ¶ The song adhortatorye of David to give thanks at their wine pressing or grapes gathering  
Lord /our lord /how marvelous is thy majesty throughout all the earth: which extolleth thy praise unto the stars.  
Which praise and strength with all /thou hast put even into the mouths of soukinge infantis: in that thou ledest away captive thy enemies and takest vengeance of thy adversaries.  
When I consider the heavens the work of thy fingers: the moan and starris which thou haste made:  
Then think I /o what a creature is man that thou thus rememberst him? what thing is man mortal that thou thus regardest him?  
Thou hast made him but little inferior unto god: thou hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou hast made him Lord over the works of thy handis: and subdued all things unto his feet.  
Both sheep and all oxen: with all the beasts of the field.  
Fowlis of the air /fishes of the sea: and what soever swimmeth there yn.  
O lord /our lord /how marvelous is thy glorious majesty thorough out all the earth.   

¶ The Title of the Psalm. ¶ The song adhortatorye of David /called the increase of the son  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ The thanks giving of David which here for his exaltation and restoring unto his seat royal praiseth god.  
I Shall praise thee (O Lord) with all my heart: and preach forth thy marvelous factis.  
I shalbe glad and rejoice in thee /magnifying thy name right highly.  
Because mine enemy is fled back: he is fallen and destroyed by thy power.  
For thou hast delivered me & give sentence with me /setting me at last in my seat royal /o just judge.  
Thou holdest down the heathen thou destroyest the wicked/ & quenchest their name for ever.  
Thou takest away clean the hard and sharp weapons of our enimies /thou cuttest away cities: that with their fall their name be forgotten.  
But the Lord reigneth everlasting: which hath prepared his seat royal to observe equity.  
He tempereth the world with rightwiseness: and ministereth true judgement unto the people.  
The lord is a self sanctuary to the oppressed /and a refugye in the time of distress.  
And for this cause /all that know thy name cleave unto thee: for thou forsakest them not that seek thee (o lord.  
Praise the Lord which dwelleth in zion: put the people in mind of his counsels.  
For he holdeth in mind the blood of the oppressed: he enquirethe for it /he forgetteth not their cry●ge Lord thou art merciful /and intent unto the trouble done to me of my enemies: and thou deliverest me from the power of death.  
That I might layeforth thy high praise in zion: and rejoice in thy saving health.  
When even contrary /the heithen be drowned in their own mischief /which they invented: and their feet taken in their own net which they have bent.  
The lord maketh his judgement known: in that he trappeth the sinner taken in his own snare. 
* So he doth . Sela. O /praise worthy perpetual.  
The ungodly go their way unto hell/ & all heithen that forget god. But the poor adflicte shall never be fo●goten: neither shall the expectation of these poor forsaken be frustrate.  
Arise lord that this man prevail not: let these haithen be condemned before the.  
Smite them with sudden fear /that they might know themselves to be but men mortal. 
* So do . Selah.   

Psal. x. after the Hebrws  
HOw now happeneth it o lord that thou art go away so far from us? wilt thou be hid in time of anxte and affliction?  
The poor perissheth at the wealy pride of the ungodly: O would god they were once taken in their own conspyrisons which they so craftily conspire.  
The ungodly maketh a gaude at the fulfillinge of his mischievous intent: the thief and he that blasphemeth the lord are praised.  
This ungodly is so proud that he regardeth neither his theft nor blasphemy: for in all his mischievous devices /he thinketh not once of god.  
all his ways at all time are profane /thy judgements are taken out of his sight /all his enemies he contemn.  
For even thus hath he determined with himself: I will pass over no time without malice and mischief.  
His execrable mouth is full of cursing /freude & desaite: under his tongue there sitteth miserable affliction and heavy misery.  
He laith await ever with out for land and town /he hunteth privily to slay the innocent /his eyes are set fast upon the goers fore buy.  
He layeth await bent like a lion at the mouth of his den /he waytethe to rob the poor /to souke him up drawn into his net.  
He smiteth him /he maketh him full feeble and weak: & casteth down with his tyranny the goers forebye.  
For thus thinketh he: god knoweth it not /for he turneth away his face and will never see it.  
But Lord god therefore arise: stretch forth thy hand /and forget not these poor oppressed.  
Wherefore shall the ungodly contemn god: & think in his heart that thou carest not /nor regardest not our affliction?  
See therefore and look upon it: for thou art he that considerest our heavy and sorrowful affliction  
Our enemies with our grievous injury might be taken up into thy hand: unto thy soucour is left the poor silly forsaken /thou helpest the soucourlesse.  
Break the strength of the malicious ungodly: that he might perish together with his own ungodliness.  
It is the lord that abideth king for ever: when all heithen perish from out of the earth.  
Here (Lord) the desire of the poor afflict: give ear unto their breasts.  
Avenge the poor silly forsaken: lest this mortal man here after be so bold as thus cruelly again to oppress him.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. ¶ The exhortation of David.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ As constant faith is never without temptation /so is it never overcome.  
My confidence is in the lord. How then now shall ye say unto me /get the hence anon swyftlyer then the bird into the hills?  
For lo /the ungodly bend their bow and set their arrows therein privily to smite the pure in heart Utterly to destroy them: and who there shall the just turn himself to go?  
The lord that is in his holy temple: the lord whose seat royal is in heaven looketh upon this: he searcheth and beholdeth narrowly the sons of men.  
The lord beholdeth the rightuouse /but the sinful ungodly he utterly hateth.  
He raineth snaris upon sinners: fire /brimstone /storm and tempest are the cup that he giveth them to drink.  
For the rightwise Lord loveth rightwiseness: his cheer is intent and given to equity.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 12. ¶ The song of David adhortatorye to be sung at the music instrument.  
¶ The Argument  
He complaineth of the open unfaithful delinge. He prayeth for the destruction of the unfaithful & fal●e church /because that where so reign these vain ungodly /there ●re all full of mischief /and wickedness.  
Lord help: for holiness is lost: faithfulness is go from the children of men.  
They be but vain lies that one kelleth another: it is but flattery & ●lauerye speech that every heart ●magineth.  
The lord might cut all these flattering tongues out of their proud mouths:  
Which say /let us stablyssh with ●utorite our own tongues: let us steke to our own lips: and then who shalbe lords over us?  
For the calamity of the oppressed ●nd wailing of the poor /I will arise saith the lord /I shall restore him to health and renyve him. The speeches of the Lord are pure speeches /purified and purged by fire from the earth /melted & tried unto the uttermost.  
Thou Lord therefore hold them from us: keep us for ever from this kind of men.  
For all are full of the ungodly /where vanity is exalted among the children of men.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 13. ¶ The song of David adhortatorye.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ The prayer of a patiently long sufferer  

¶ Vsquequo domine.  Psal. 13.  
How long wilt thou forget me (lord? wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hid thy face from me?  
How long shall I revolve thoughts in my mind? how long shall this laborious heaviness waaste my heart? how long shall this enemy be exalted over me?  
Behold and help lord god: illumine my eyes /jest I sleep in death. And let not mine enemy say /I prevailed against him: jest if I be moved from my place /my troublous adversaries rejoice.  
For I will cleave unto thy merciable goodness /my heart hoppeth for joy at the coming of thy saving health /that I might praise the when thou hast given it me.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 14. ¶ An exhortatory song of David.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ He complaineth of all men to be sinners and that the time shall come that the ungodly shall die for fere /but unto the godly there shall come a plentuouse joy from that heavenly zyon.  
THe vain foolish think in their hearts /that god is not god: they follow corrupt and execrable studies /there is noon that doth good.  
When the Lord should look forth from heaven upon the children of men to see whither there were any that understood or regarded God:  
He saw that all were go from him /all alike together were corrupted /there was noon that did good no not won.  
Have they understanding which are all given unto mischief? which devour my people like meat? yea /which call not upon the lord?  
Then therefore shall they tremble: when god standing on the just mennis side /shall say unto them. ye made but a mock at the counsel of the poor: but yet is the lord his hope.  
Who shall give Israel his saving health from zion? When the Lord shall bring home again his people: jacob shall rejoice and Israel shalbe right glad   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 15. ¶ The song of David.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ The heritage & life of the godly in this world.  
Lord who may devil in thy tabernacle? who may continwe in thy holy hill?  
Even he that liveth innocently /doing that at just is /whose heart is ever in meditation upon the truth.  
He that deceiveth not nor hurteth with his tongue /neither doth noon evil to his neighbour /nor revileth not his fellow.  
But setteth nought by the ungodly /and hath them in price that fere the lord: which keepeth his oath and promise with his neighbour. And dareth not his money for a vantage: neither receiveth gift against the innocent.  
He that doth these things /abideth & dwelleth there still for ever   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 16. ¶ David's delicate and sweet prays  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ The variable state of this world considered /he confesseth nothing to be stable. Wherefore there is nothing more holy and certain then to cleave to the lord with all confidence.  
BEpe me (o God) for in the do I trust. I confess unto the lord /saying thou art my Lord /my goodis are nothing for the.  
I gave myself therefore sometime to help the saints /which are upon the earth.  
But when their adversity with incommodities began to grow /they went back.  
I shall not offer up noon of their blodye drink offeraunces /neither yet once take the names of them into my lips.  
For the lord is the portion of my heritage and my cup: thou holdest up my lot.  
My lot fill upon a fair place /and my heritage pleaseth me well I thank the lord for his monition: for even by night my conscience correcteth me.  
I look up evermore beholding the Lord present at mine eyes /for even at my right hand is he present /jest I should slide.  
Wherefore my heart ioythe & my greatness rejoiceth /that my flesh at last may rest surely.  
For thou wilt not leave me in my grave: nor suffere thy dear beloved holy one to be corrupted.  
But thou shalt show me the path of life /thou shalt make me glad with thy presence /for there is perpetual joy in thy power.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 17. ¶ The prayer of David.  
¶ The Argument  
¶ He contendeth in a manner with god /because he so grievously tempteth him studying to do well. And he prayeth to be delivered of the lord from his enymrs.  
HEre (lord) mine innocency /attend unto my crying: give ear unto my unfeigned prayer spoken with all my heart.  
Let thy judgement declare mine innocency: let thy eyes behold equity.  
Prove my heart /and search it by night /try me with fire /and yet shalt thou not find me a dissembler: for I decreed with myself not to offend /not not in word  
I tempered me from the works of m●n /and from the ways of the perverse: for the word of thy lips.  
keep my stepis within thy paths lest my feet turn into any contrary way.  
For I cry unto thee (o God) for soucoure: give ear to me and here my words.  
Assign me thy wonderful mercies /thou which with thy right hand keepest the faithful from their adversaries.  
keep me as one would keep the apple of his eye: hide me under the shadewe of thy wings.  
From the ungodly which trouble me /even fro my enemies which close in my life.  
Which with their riches tyrannously oppress: & with their mouths cry out proudly.  
They lay await at our feet: turning down their eyes to the earth They are like the hungry lion greedy of his proye: even the young lion laid bent in his privy den.  
Arise lord /and prevent him /cast him down groveling /and redeem me from the ungodly with thy sword.  
deliver me by thy power from the mortal /even from the men of this world /which in this life enjoy their part.  
For even thou out of thy store house fillest their bellies /that when they be satisfied with children /they may yet leave the rest of their goodis to their infants.  
But I /when I shall apere before the in my innocency /shallbe satisfied: I shallbe well filled when thy glory shallbe declared in the day of appearance.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 18 ¶ The song adhortatorye of David the servant of the Lord /which sung this song unto him when he delivered him both from the power of Saul and also from all his enemies.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ He giveth thanks: he telleth into what peril he was brought /he describeth like a poet the divine power /and praiseth his benefittis.  
I Shall love thee (o Lord) my strength /lord thou art my farm rock /my bulwark /and my refugie. My god /my defence unto whom I cleave. My buckler /my mighty saving health /and my saynctuarye. When I praise and love the lord: then am I self from mine enemies.  
Bondis of death compassed me about /the roringe flowdiss of Belial swelled up against me.  
The snares of hell closed me in: in the nets of death was I masshed But yet being in these distresses I called upon and worshipped the Lord /and cried unto my god.  
And he heard my voice /even from his holy hill.  
And as soon as my crying come unto his earis: the earth trembled and shaken /the foundations of the hills staggarde & were smitten together: for it was he that was wrath.  
Fume ascended out of his nostrils /and devoueringe fire out of his mouth /so that coals were kindled there at.  
He made the heavens to stoop while he come down /having a dark cloud under his feet.  
He was carried upon the Cherubins /and did flee /he come fleinge with the wings of the wind.  
He closed himself in darkness sitting therein as in his tabernacle he was hid in black waters even in clouds full of rain.  
But at the brightness of his lokingeforth: clouds proceeded /hail and fyerye beams.  
And then the Lord thundered from above /and the most high god sent forth his noise: here feldown hail and boltis of fire.  
He shut forth and scattered his darts /he smote forth mightily mich lightening over al.  
The veins of springs were openned /the foundations of the round earth were laid wide open at thy chydinge /O lord /they lay naked at thy breath and stomach of thy wrath.  
Then he did put down his hand from an high and took me up quickly: and drew me forth of the vehement waters.  
He delivered me from the violence of my enemies /and my haters which had overcome me.  
Which had taken their pleasure upon me in time of my adversity: but it was the Lord that helped me:  
And led me forth at large /he delivered me /because he had chosen me.  
The lord gave me after my innocency /and rewarded me according to my pure living.  
For I did diligently wait upon the ways of the lord /neither did I i'll from my god unto any wother.  
For I hold fast all his laws before mine eyes /neither do I thrust his ordinances from me.  
I order myself perfaitly and purely toward him /and I take good heed lest I fall into any sin.  
The Lord might reward me after my innocency and pure living /for his benign liberality.  
With the holy man thou art holy /and pure with the pure.  
With the elect thou art chosen: and with perverse thou dost frowardelye.  
For thou savest the poor oppressed: and layst full low the high looks of the proud.  
Thou lightest my candle /Lord my god: thou dispellest my darkness with thy light.  
Thou being my goyd /I break thorough the hole ray in battle: thorough thy help /my god /I leap the wallis.  
The way of the lord is immaculate /the speech of the Lord is pure: he is the shield to all that trust in him.  
For who is it that is god but the lord? or who is it that is almighty besides our god?  
It is God that girdeth me with strength /it is he that keepeth my way pure and good.  
Which maketh my feet as swift as are the feet of an heart: & setteth me up in an high place.  
Which instructeth my hands unto battle: and teacheth my arms to break bows of steel.  
Thou stretchest forth for my defence thy saving buckler /with thy right-hand thou sustayneste me /and encreasest me with thy gentle familiarity.  
Thou spredist my way under me /jest my helis slide away  
I follow upon mine enemies and take them: never turning again until they be all slain.  
I smite them down /so that they rise not again: they fall under my feet Thou girdeste me with strength unto battle: and throest them down under me which rise against me Thou (mine enemies backs turned) settest me in their neckis /thou scaterest my enemies all away They called upon /but noon heard them: even upon the lord they called /but he helped them not.  
But I be it them as small as dust scattered with the wide/ & made no more of them then of the dirt in the streatis.  
Thou delyverst me from the contemciouse people: and settest me to be the head over the gentiles /a nation which I knew not/ & yet they serve me As soon as they heard me they obeyed me: but my noun known people fall fro me.  
They abhorred and yrked the knowledge of me: they swerved away from their wont path.  
The Lord liveth /and blessed be he even my very rock of stone /God be exalted and praised which is my saving health.  
Even god which giveth me power to avenge me /and casteth this people under my feet.  
It is he that delivereth me from my enemy /he giveth me victory upon them that rise against me /saving me from every evil.  
Wherefore I shall praise the among the gentiles o lord: and I shall magnify thy name.  
Which enrichest thy king with miche health /thou endewest David thy anointed with great benefits /and his seed also for ever.   

¶ The Title of the Psalm. 19 ¶ The song of David adhortatorie.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ He compareth the brightness of the word of god unto the light of the son /expressing the wholesome virtue thereof.  
THe heavens declare the almighty majesty of god /and the firmament showeth forth the work of his handis.  
Every day precheth the same: & every night layeth forth the same also unto our knowledge.  
There is neither speech nor tongue but among them are the voices of these all herd.  
Into all the world goethforth the speech of them /and their words unto the worldis end.  
He hath set in them a tabernacle for the son: whence he proceedeth like a bridegroom out of his chamber /and like a giant he dresseth himself to peruse his course:  
From the one side of the heavens he goth forth mightily to the t'other: and there is noman that may hide him from his heat.  
And even so is the law of the lord perfayt /restoring the mind /the testimony of the lord is true techinge children wisdom.  
The chastisinge of the lord are right /making glad the heart: the precept of the lord is pure /illumininge the eyes.  
The fere of the lord is clean and farm for ever /the judgements of ●he lord are equal and just.  
Moore pleasant than gold or any ●reciouse stone: and sweeter then e●her honey or the honey comb.  
Which /who so is thy servant /he keepeth them: for in keeping them here followeth great reward.  
Who taketh heed unto his fau●s? absolve me from those sins ●hich I know not:  
And also from them which I have boldly committed that they have no dominion over me /for so shall I be pourged and absolved frō● full great sin.  
Let the words of my mouth ple●se thee: let the meditation of my ●erte be accept unto thee /o Lord ●y rock and my redeemer.

¶ The Argument.  
¶ He promiseth as it were in the person of a master /that he will be benign and jentle over all to his servants.  
The lord shall here the in th'article of thy distress the majesty of the God of jacob shall defendeth.  
He shall send the help from the holy place: and from zion he shall defend the.  
He shall remember all thy sacrifice and accept thy brent offeraunce.

And thou shalt also endue him with perpetual felicity /and make him glad with thy ioyouse presence.  
For the king trusteth in the lord /and in the goodness of the most hygheste: wherefore he can not slide.  
Let all thy enemies feel thy power /all thy adversaries might have experience of thy right-hand. Set fire on them as it were in an ooven in the time of thy indignation: Lord let the fire devour and swelowe them up in thy wrath.  
Destroy their ysswe out of the earth: and pluck their progeny out of the sort of men.  
For they enforce mischief against thee: they conceayve shrewd counsels which they may not bring to pass.

Wherefore I offer in his tabernacle thofferance of thanks giving /I praise and sing unto the Lord.

WIth high praises (o lord) shall I extol thee /for that thou hast taken me up to preserve me: neither haste thou suffered my enemies to triumph over me.  
Lord my god /unto the have I coyed: and thou hast healed me.  
Lord thou hast called me agene fro my grave /thou hast restored my soul from going▪ down into the pit.  
Sing ye unto the lord /you that be his saints /give thanks in the holy remembrance of him.  
For while he is wrath for a little space /through his favour yet giveth he life: although the evening be turned into weeping /yet is gladness restored in the morning.

(For thou Lord of thy goodness hadst given strength unto my hill) anon as thou hadst hidden thy face I was troubled.  
But here /unto thee /o lord I cried: unto the my lord made I my prayer.

Hear me therefore lord and have mercy on me: O Lord help me.  
Then thou turnedest my mourning into joy /thou unlacedest my sake and gyrdedste me with gladness.  
Wherefore thy glory shall be sungen incessantly: for I /lord my god shall magnify the for ever.

¶ It is a prayer in great tribulation /a gra●youse hearing /and than●esgeuinge.  
IN thee (o lord) do I trust let me never I beseech the be shamed /but for thy mercies sake deliver me.  
Bow down thy ear unto me /speed the to deliver me /be my strong rock /and well defenced house wherein thou wilt save me.  
For thou art my stonney rock & my castle: for thy name's sake therefore be my goyd and nourish me.  
Lede me forth of the net which they have hid for me: for thou art my defender.  
Into thy handis I commend my spirit: redeem me /Lord god which art so true.  
For I hate them that embrace vanity: but in thee (O Lord) do I trust.  
I shall be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou wilt look upon my affliction when thou espieste my soul in distress.  
neither wilt thou yild it into the power of my adversary /but wilt set my feet at large.  
Have mercy upon me (lord) for I am in trouble: my eyes rimple and wax dim for heaviness /my soul /my belly.  
My life is consumed with sorrow /and my yearis in sighing: my strength is fallen away in calamity /and my bones are consumed.  
I was obprobriously defamed of all my enemies: unto my neighbours and siche as knew me I was great fear. Who so saw m● they fled out away fro me.  
Out of mind I fill forgotten as ● dead man: I was go like a ●rye broken potsherd.  
For myself heard the obloquy /●nd threatis of the multitude gathered about me: they consented all against me /they conspired to take away my life.  
But in thee (o lord) do I trust /and I say /thou art my god.  
In thy hand are my destenes /deliver me from the power of my e●imes and pursuers.  
Show thy gracious countenance unto thy servant: and save me for thy mercies sake.  
Lord let me not be confounded /for unto the do I call: but let the ungodly be shamed and laid a sleep in their graves.  
Let lying lips be sewed up together /which craftily proudly/ & spitefully speak against the just.  
O how great goods sayest thou up for the fearers of thee? which good thou dost unto them that trust in thee /even in the presence of all mortal men.  
Thou hiddest these men privily in thy sight from the proud men thou hiddest them in thy tabernacle from virulent tongues.  
Thanks be unto the Lord for his high goodness toward me /defended as I were in the most strong city.  
For I /some time without all hope said: I am cast out of thy sight and yet thou heardest thy supplyaunt crying unto the.

Be constant /and the lord will confirm and stablish your hearts as many as trust in him.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 32. ¶ David's admonition.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ He teacheth it to be a ioyouse thing /to be eased quyt from the burden of sin /and contrary wise: a miserable thing to have an obstinate conscience clogged and depressed with sin /And at last he showeth by what ways sins be forgiven.  
O how blessed is he that is eased of his transgression /whose sin is covered?  
O happy man /unto whom the lord reckoneth not his sin: yn whose mind there is nothing desaitfully hid.  
For I verily /while I held my tongue /my bones ached with my daily out crying.  
For day and night thy heavy hand pressed me down /my succulent moister was turned into a summer drought. 
* So it was  Selah.  
But my sin /after that I had confessed it unto thee /and unkovered before thee /my wikednes:  
When I said /accusing myself: I acknowledge & confess my transgression unto the lord /even anon thou forgavest the crime of my sin. 
* So thou diddest . Sela.  
Wherefore whatsoever saint he be /let him pray unto the as soon as he feeleth the same distress /and then shall not the inundation of swelling waters touch him.  
Thou art my refugye in my tribulation closing me about/ & now thou closest me about with the joy of deliverance. 
* So thou dost . Selah.  
I shall instruct thee (saiste thou) and show the what way thou must go /I shall fasten mine eyes upon the.  
Except ye will be horse and mules clean with out understanding.  
Whose mouths and headis unless they be with snaffle and bridle refrained /they will not obey the.  
Let the ungodly look for many plagues: but who so trusteth in the lord shall be closed about with mercy.  
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice ye rightwise /be jocund and merry ye all that be of an upright heart.   

¶ The Argument. of the .33. Psal.  
¶ It is a praise wherein the almighty power of god is praised  
Rejoice ye rightwise in loavinge the lord: for his praise becometh well the just.  
loaf ye therefore the lord /sing unto him with harp /lute /and ten stringed instrument.  
Sing unto him a new song /smite up your instruments with a loud melody.  
For the word of the Lord is right holy /and all his works firm and fast.  
He loveth equity and right /the earth is replenished with the goodness of the lord.  
By the word of the lord heavens were made /and all their ornowerment at the breath of his mouth.  
He gathereth up the waters together on heap: and agene /he hideth them in the bottom of the sea.  
All the earth might fear the lord /all th'inhabiters of the world might worship him.  
For at his commandment all things have their being: as soon as he spoke the word /all things were done.  
The lord scaterth the counsel of the heathen: and the thoughts of people he frustrateth.  
But his counsel dureth for ever /the thoughts of his heart contynwe through all generations.  
O happy nation which holdeth the lord for their god /whom he hath chosen to him for his heritage.  
The lord looketh forth from heaven to consider all the children of men: even from his sure seat royal he beholdeth all th'inhabitors of the world.  
For he only hath made the hearts of them /it is he alone that knoweth all the dediss of them.  
It is not the puissance of an innumerable host that saveth a king /neither is the giant delivered by his great strength.  
The horseman deceiveth thy salfgarde: noman is delivered by the multitude of horsemen.  
But behold /they are the eyes of the lord that be set upon them which fear him reverently /and cleave unto his mercy.  
That he would preserve their souls from pestilence /and nouressh them in famyn.  
Let our soul therefore cleave to the lord /for it is he that is our shield and defender  
In him therefore shall our hearts rejoice /as long as we trust in his holy name.  
Let thy mercy (o lord) shine upon us /even as we trust upon the.

¶ It is a thanks giving: in the which he testifieth that god never forsaketh his beloved.  
I Shall praise the lord at all time: his praise shall be ever in my mouth.  
In the laud of the lord my soul delyghteth herself /as the humble oppressed here this /so may they be glad.  
Magnify ye the lord with me /and let us together extol his name.  
For I asked counsel of the Lord and he answered me /and he delivered me out of all my fere.  
Whoso look up unto him are made fresh and bright /and their faces are not confounded.  
Whosoever in his affliction call upon the lord /he is herd: and he delyverthe him out of all distress.  
Even the angel of the Lord pitcheth castles and lieth rowndabout them that fear him /and delivereth them.  
Taste and see how good is the lord: blessed is he whosoever trusteth in him.  
Reverence the Lord ye that are his saints: for they lack nothing that reverently fear him.  
But the cruel shall want and be famysshed: when the fearers of the Lord shall want nothing.  
Come hither o children and give ear unto me: the fear of the lord shall I teach you.  
Who so coveteth to live long/ & desierth also to have good days. Let him refrain his tongue from evil /and his lips jest they speak desayte.  
Let him estiwe ill /and do good /study for peace and follow it.  
For the eyes of the lord are intent unto innocents /and his ears bent unto their prayers  
But he looketh grim upon them: that do ill: to cut away their memorial out of the earth.  
Those men /when they krye /the lord heareth them /and delivereth them out of all their distress.  
The lord is present with the contrite heart: and preserveth the deiecte mind.  
Many incommodities fall upon the just: but from them al /the Lord delivereth them.  
He keepeth all their bones: so that not one of them be broken.  
But full miserable is the death of the ungodly /for they that hate the just shalbe plucked up by the rote The lord redemeth the soul of his servant /neither are they banesshed who so trust in him.   

¶ The Argument.  
¶ David maketh his invocation to god in his grievous oppression of his enemies: which persecute us for our well deserving of them.

Draw forth thy sword and run upon them that pursue me /kill my soul. lo /I am here by thee /even I which am thy saving health. Let them be shamed and counfounded that press upon my soul let them turn their backs with shame that think me evil.  
Make them like dust laid forth for the wind /the angel of the lord scateringe them.  
Let their ways be dark and slyber: the angel of the Lord pursuing them.  
For they have bend privily their deadly net for me an innocent /they have digged up a pit for me guiltless.  
Let their own calamity come upon themselves unwares: let them be taken in their own privy net: let them fall into their own mischief.  
But my soul might rejoice yn the Lord /and be glad of his salvation.  
all my bones shall say: lord who is like unto thee? which delyverst the weak dejected from his stronger /and the poor needy on from his robbers.  
There arose against me false witnesses /imputing things to me which I never knew.  
They requited me ill for good /leaving me poorly all alone.  
But they /when they were full syke then was my vesture a sack: I macerated myself with fast /and my prayer rolled in my bosom.  
I went as one mourning for his fellow or brother /I hombled myself being sorry as one had buried his own mother.  
But contrariwise /they (when I was full syke) made full merry /they ran together /ye even the laame come running upon me unwares they kit their clotheses neither omitted they any token of mourning.  
But all was but hypocrisy /ye even their coats strewed with ashes: for in the mean season they grinned and gnasshed their teeth upon me.

That I might give the thanks in the most full congregation /and ●rayse the when the most people ●e present.  
neither let these liars my enemies triumph over me: let them wink in vain one upon another wh●ch thus deadly hate me  
For they think nothing peaceably but when the land is in tranquilite /then take they fraudelent counsels.  
They spoke against me with open mouth: saying /o well well /now we see it with our eyes.

When it is thou which preserueste both men and beasts O Lord.  
How precious and rich is thy goodness o God? wherewith the children of men animated /are bold to trust unto the shadew of thy wings.  
They are satisfied with the plentuouse increase of thy house /and drink of thy delyciouse sweet flowed.  
For with thee /is that lively perpetual spring /and in thy light we see light.  
Setforth thy goodness unto those that know thee /and thy rightwiseness unto the right hearted.  
Let not the foot of pride over take me: let not the hand of the ungodly move me.  
But let them fall that work mischief /cast them down that they never more rise agene.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 37. ¶ The song of David.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ It is an admonition and warning that we follow not the sinful /allected and allwered of their feigned felicity /heal so painteth the nature and the end both of the godly and ungodly.  

Noli emulari.  Psal. 37.  
Follow not the stepis of the evil: neither invye th●u the prosperity of ill doers.  
For suddenly like hay are they cut down /and like the green grass be they withered.  
But thou /see thou trust in the lord /and do good: that thou mayst devil upon the earth and he may well feed the.  
And thou shalt delight in the Lord /which shall give the thy hearts desire.  
Layeforth thy way before the lord and trust unto him /for he shall setforth thy good dediss like the morning /and thy just dealing like the midday.  
give thyself hole unto the lord /and abide his pleasure /let not his life move the whom all things prosperously succeed: even that man which liveth all in sin.  
remit wrath /suage anger /let not their evil ensample provoke the to do ill.  
For evil doers shalbe cut away: but they that patiently abide the Lordis pleasure shall possess the land.  
Suffer a little while /and the ungodly shalbe clean go /when thou shalt look for his place he shall not apere:  
But the meek spryted shall possess the land /and enjoy much peace.  
The ungodly layeth await for the just /and grinneth upon him with his teeth.  
But the lord laugheth him to scorn: for he seith when his day shall come.  
The ungodly draw forth their sword and bend their bow to throdowne the poor afflict /and to kill them that go the right way.  
But their own sword shall pierce their own heart: and their bows shalbe broken.  
That little of the rightwise is better /then the great goodis of the ungodly.  
For the arms of the ungodly are consumed: but the just men /the lord strengtheneth.  
The lord also knoweth the day of the innocentes /for their heritage is perpetual.  
They shalnot be shamed in the p●rellouse time /but in hunger they shallbe sated.  
But the ungodly shall perish: & the enemies of the Lord shallbe consumed with fire /their smoke fleing up like the smoke of fate brent wethers.  
The ungodly borowth and gathereth his goods by usury never to repay nor give /but the just giveth forth liberally.  
Who so approve this liberality they shall possess the land /but they that abhor it shalbe rend up by the rotes.  
Of the lord are the stepis of a good man directed: and he loveth his way.  
When he fallith he shall not be hurt: for the lord sustaineth him with his hand.  
I was a child and now am I old /and yet never saw I the just forsaken /nor his seed seek his breed.  
Although he would be ever giving forth almose: and for this cause his seed enjoyed his good prosperously.  
He fleeth ill and followeth good /and he dwelleth here many days For the Lord loveth just dealing /neither forsaketh he his saints but they are kept for ever /but the seed of the ungodly shalbe cut away.  
But the just shall possede the land /and shall devil long thereupon wisdom is ever in the mouth of the just: & his tongue speaketh equity.  
For the law of his god is in his heart: wherefore his ways are farm and fast.  
The ungodly looketh narrowly of the just: and honteth to slay him. But the Lord leaveth him not in to his power /neither will not let him damn him when he judgeth him. Trust in the Lord and keep his way/ & he shall exalt the to possede the land /and that thou mayst see the destruction of the ungodly. I saw on a time the ungodly rooting and strongly setteling himself & rising up flourisshing like the green bay tree /but lo /in the twinclinge of an eye he was go /and when I looked for his place /it could not be found.  
keep innocency /and behold the right /for these things at last shall procure a man peace  
When the trangressours shallbe banesshed away together: for the end of the ungodly is death and destruction.  
But the health of the just cometh from the lord: for it is he that is their strength in the article of distress.  
The Lord bringeth them help and delivereth them /he defendeth and saveth them from the ungodly /for because they trust in him.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 38. ¶ The song of David wherein he remembreth his affliction.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ It is a faithful enserchinge of him self and confession of his crime /his friends forsake him /his enemies stand against him. In the lord therefore only /health is laid up.  
Lord I beseech the reprove me not in thy fury /neither correcke me not in thy wrath.  
For thy arrows are set fast in me ●hy hand is laid sore upon me.  
Thy wrath hath left nothing hole in my flesh /nothing hold in my bones for my sin.  
For my sins are risen over my head /being as it were a great burden miche mightier then I am able to bear.  
My secret soris stink and fester /for my noun foolishness.  
I am adflycte /and deyected so far /that I am weary of my life.  
My loins are full of misery there is no health in all my body▪ I am sore feebled and broken /th● anguish of my heart breaketh forth into loud crying.  
Lord thou knowest all my desie● and my wailing is not hid from the.  
My heart panteth /my strength hath left me /and my eye sight goeth fro me.  
My friends and neighbours stood against me when I was smitten and my very kinsfolk fled far fro me.  
But they flew upon me that laid await for my life /and they that forged mischief for me /invented and sought frauds and guile at all tyme.  
But I as a deaf man heard not: for I am as the dumb that openeth not his mouth.  
I am as one that here not/ & therefore cannot rebuke agene.  
For in thee (o lord) do I trust /thou wilt not frustrate my hope /o lord my god.  
For this thing do I ask /that they rejoice not upon my hurt /neither make a gaude at the sliding of my feet.  
For I am verily ready to the scourge /and my blue stripes do I never forget.  
For I myself confess my ungodliness /and my sin gendereth sorrow in me.  
But my enemies are self and strong /and they increase which hate me wrongfully.  
Which also requited me evil for good /they vex me injuriously because I follow that at good is.  
Forsake me not therefore lord my god /go not far fro me.  
Haste the to help me /O lord /my saving health.   

¶ The Title of the Psal 39 ¶ The song of David adhortatorye committed unto Idithum● course.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ A common prayer /wherein when he confesseth all men for their daily sins worthy beat /he desierth god of his meecy.  
I Had decreed with myself so to keep my ways /that I would not offend in word I kept my mouth with bridle /for the ungodly observed me.  
I refrained /I held my tongue /I was dumb: ye and that for a good purpose /but yet it increased and jasperated my sorrow.  
My heart brent with in me /and ●hyle I thus revolved with my ●●lfe /this fire increased more and ●ore.  
Thus therefore I began to speak ●hewe me my end o lord /and ●hat is the length of my days: ●●t me know I beseech the when ● shall make an end.  
●o thou haste brought my day●s into an handful long /and my ●ge is as nothing before thee: And surely all the state of man ●s not else but vanity. 
* no more it is . Selah For man's life is but a shadewe: he embusieth himself in vain /he heapeth unto him and knoweth not for whom he gatherethe it.  
Now therefore what thing may I lokefore o lord? My hope is fastined in the.  
deliver me therefore from all my transgressions: and make me not the reviling stock of the vaynelyers.  
I shalbe still and not once open my mouth: if thou wilt do this thing.  
Take away thy stripes fro me /for I am consumed of thy heavy hand.  
When thou rebukest and correckst man for his ungodliness /then (be he never so great) he is wasted away as it were of a mot so frivole and vain a thing is man. 
* So he is.  Sela.  
Lord here my prayer /receive my crying at thy ears /turn the not ●waye fro my tears: although I ●e but a stranger with the and a ●ilgryme as were all my fathers.  
Spare me yet a little (some pardon obtained) ere I go hence /and no more be seen.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 40 ¶ The song adhortatorie of David.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ A confession whereby god is praised /how he aught to be worshipped and only called upon in tribulation with farm hope.  
WHen I had long tarried & waited upon the lord /at last he attended unto me and heard my kryinge.  
He drew me forth of the deep pit and tough mud /he did set fast my feet upon the rock and directed my journey.  
Then he did put a new song in to my mouth /even the song of thanks giving unto our god /that all men might consider /fere /and trust in the lord.  
O happy man that putteth his confidence in the lord /and turneth not himself unto pride /but turneth away from vanity.  
For thou /lord my god dost marvels innumerable /and thy counsels are with us peerless.  
When I would remember and tell them forth: they are innumerable And as for offrance and sacrifice thou loveste them not /but by my ears thou twitchest me: brent sacrifice nor purging sacrifice thou requirest not: wherefore then I said: lo here am I comen my noun self.  
In the first side of the book it is written of me /that I must do that thing that pleaseth thee /o my god: which thing also I do it gladly /for thy law is written in the mids of my breast.  
I preach the form of thy rightwysmakinge before the hole congregation /lo my lips cease not o Lord /as thou seest.  
Thy rightwysmakinge /even from the mids of my heart do I declare /thy troth and salvation I do speak: I dissemble not thy goodness and faith before all the hole church.  
Wherefore a lord cease thou not to be merciful unto me /let thy goodness and thy faith always defend me.  
For troubles innumerable overwhelmed me /my sins so cumbered me that I might not decern the● for they are moo then the hears of my head /wherefore even my heart failed me.  
Haste the lord to deliver me: speed the to help me.  
Let them be soon shamed and confounded that seek my soul to destroy it /let them fall bake with shame that rejoice upon my hurt. Let them at last be destroyed after their confusion /which bark against me with spite saying /Oh /oh.  
Let them rejoice and be glad in the all that seek thee /and who so love thy saving health might say continually: The Lord be magnified.  
● am a poor afflict abject /lord ●elpe me /for thou art my delyue●er /o my god tarry not.   

¶ The Argument. of this Psal. 41.  
¶ David now being in a sickness whither it be of body or soul: prayeth the lord to have mercy upon him /moving him to pity the poor  
BLessed is he that considereth thestate of the poor: for in time of peril the Lord shall deliver him.  
The lord shall keep him and make him self and blessed upon the earth /neither shall he betake him into the handis of his enemies  
The Lord shall restore him when he lie syke /o lord thou changest all his sickness.  
For this cause I say o lord have mercy on me /heal my soul /for I am a sinner against the.  
My enemies speak evil upon me /saying when shall he die? that his name may perish.  
And whither he come in to se /or went forth: thus speaketh his heart /heaping mischief upon himself.  
all my enemies come running together against me /and they take evil counsel against me.  
An enuyouse word is blown abroad among them: saying /there he lieth nevermore to rise.  
ye and even my noun famyliare whom above all I trusted /which eit my breed /laid await surely for me.  
Thou therefore lord have mercy on me: and restore me that I may requite them.  
By this thing shall I know that thou lovest me /if my enemy run not upon me.  
For mine innocency /I beseech the sustain me /and set me before the for ever.  
Praised be the Lord god of Israel /from age to age for ever. Amen Amen.   

¶ The Title of the Psal. 42. ¶ An admonition or exhortation of the children of Chore  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ A complaint before god of the rebuke of his enemies /and of the trouble of mind sprung thereof: but yet fast and firm hope counforteth her own self.  
AS the thirsty heart panteth and gapethe crying at the fresh rivers /so crieth my soul unto thee /o god.  
My soul thirsteth for God /even the living god /when shall I once come and apere before the face of god?  
My teris which I shed night and day are turned into my meet /whiles daily it is said to me /where is thy god?  
These things I revolve with myself /powering forth before me the hevinesses of my mind.  
When shall I goforth freshly arrayed to go with my fellows ioyouslye with thanks into the house of the Lord with so goodly a great company?  
How deiecte art thou o my soul/ ●nd wherefore dost thou thus tro●ble me? trust in God /for the time shall come that I shall give him thanks in his presence for my health given me agene.  
My soul is deiecte & vexed within me o God when I eft anon remember what thou diddest in the land by jordane at the little hill hermonim.  
One deep water calleth in another /thy water courses roared: thy great showers and floods ran over me.  
Daily the lord increaseth his goodness /wherefore I shall praise the living god every night.  
And I shall say unto god my rock of stone: wherefore forgetest me? wherefore go I so heavily my enemies vexing me? and breaking my bones?  
My enemies cast me in the teeth daily saying unto me /where is thy god?  
But o my soul /thou art soon dejected: and wherefore troublest me? trust in god /for the time shall come that I shall give thanks agene unto my God for health restored.   

¶ This Psalm following is of the same Argument and matter before.

¶ The Title of the Psal. 44 is all one with the foresaid psal.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ He complaineth unto god /asking that according unto the covenant made with the fathers /he would help us for that we be adflicte enough.  
With our ears we have herd /O god /our fathers putting us in mind of the works (which while their selves lived /thou wroughtest in time past.  
For thou with thy noun hand (the gentiles cast out) diddest grief them in: thou destroydst and diddest cast out miche people.  
For they goat not that land with their sword /neither did their own arm save them /but it was thy right-hand /thy arm and the light of thy cheer /for thy favour went with them.  
For thou art that king and our god /which sendist thy saving health unto jacob.  
Thou being our captain /we blewe out our enemies as it were with horns: we acouraged with thy strength /trod them down /as many as rose against us.  
For our trust consisted not in our bows /neither was it our o●ne sword that saved us.  
But it was thou that savedst us from our enemies /and confoundedst our adversaries.  
Let us therefore continually praise the our god /and evermore give thanks unto thy majesty. 
* So let us do . Selah.  
But now thou forsakeste us and castest us their laughing stoke against them to be reviled /neither goist thou forth with our army Into flight thou turnest us before our enemies /and our adversaries trede us under their feet.  
Thou hast made us like a flock of sheep alto torn and wiried /and even among the gentiles thou scateredst us.  
Thou soldeste thy people for nothing /neither dideste thou steke stiffly contending for their price Thou laydst us forth to be a jesting stoke unto our neighbours to be a laughing and mocking stoke to them that dwelled about us. Thou madist us but a fable unto the gentiles /and in derision among the people.  
Our ignominy is ever before our eyes: and the shame of our face covereth us.  
For the noise of the rebuker and chyder /and enemies invadinge us All these things are comen upon us /nevertheless yet we forget the not neither break we thy covenant.  
Our heart turneth not back /but thou declinedst our steapis from thy path.  
Thou beitist us to powder where dragons dennis were: and koverdst us with a deadly shadewe  
Iff we had forgotten the name of our God /and stretched forth our handis unto any strange g●d:  
God might worthily have enquered upon this thing /for it is he that knoweth the hid thoughts of the heart.  
But for thy sake are we killed daily /we be esteemed as sheep appointed unto the bochers' stalle.  
Arise up therefore /wherefore sleepest thou so fast /o Lord? Awake and forsake us not utterly.  
Wherefore hidest thou thy face? wherefore forgetest thou both our affliction and oppression.  
For our soul is depressed unto the dust /our belly steketh fast to the ground.  
Arise therefore and help us /and deliver us for thy great goodness.

Thy sharp arrows might pierce the hearts of the kings enemies: the great multitude be throne down of the.  
Thy seat royal /o God /is perpetual the sceptre of thy kingdom is the sceptre of equity.  
Thou lovest rightwiseness and hatest injury /wherefore god thy god hath anointed the with the ointment of gladness above all thy fellows.

Unto her thus do I turn my oration /hear o daughter behold and give ear /forget thy people & the house of thy father.  
For the king is taken with thy incomparable beauty /it is he that is thy lord and thou shalt fald●wne before him.  
The daughters of Tyri /and the richest of the people /shall bring gifts before the as thy suppliants The goodly beauty of the queen showeth all within forth /and all her robis are clotheses of tysswe broydred with gold and made with needle work.  
She is led unto the king/ & virgins of her nigh kin come after her unto thee /o king.  
They are brought with gladness & great joy /they are brought into thy kings palace.

¶ The title of this Psal. 46. ¶ The song adhortatorye of the children of Chore.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ The church compared by an allegory unto a defensed cite /cannot be hurt: because the lord is present with it.  
GOd is our refuge and strength: he is found also to be our help unable to be expressed in time of tribulation.  
Wherefore we fear not although the earth be moved /and hills be tumbled down into the bottom of the sea.

For it is the sweet flowed with her rivers that make glad the city of god which is the holy tabernacle of the most highest.  
God is in the mids of her /she shall not be hurt /for god will soon help her in tyme.  
Let the seditious haithen swell /let the kingdom steer up strife /and all the earth crack & shake.

Come and see the works of the lord /what desolations he hath made upon the earth.

God is lifted up with great triumph: the lord is exalted with the noise of trumpet.  
Sing ye to god sing /sing ye to our king /sing.

¶ It is a praise of jerusalem /which is a figure of the church and of every faithful soul.  
THe lord be magnified and highly praised /for the cite of our god /his holy hill.  
The mount zion /in whose northside the city of the great king is situate /is a beutyful lady /and the flower of the hole land.

¶ A contemning of worldly things.  
Hear this thing all people /give ear all ye that inhabit the hole world.  
As well the lowest and highest /as rich and poor.  
My mouth shall speak wisdom /and my heart shall express true intelligence.  
I shall divert unto parables /and propowne my dark allegories in metre.  
Wherefore should I fear any mischance at any time /and so wrap myself in an heap of troubles? For as for them that trust in their goodis /and glory in the multitude of their riches: noon of them in any manner of wise may redeem his brother from death nor buy his life of god.  
No man may give the price of his life here to live ever /never to feel corruption: for this perpetuity is denied him.  
For ye may see as well the wise as the fool both alike die & perissh/ and leave their riches to other.  
Although yet they had decreed to have dwelled ever in their own closettiss and houses /and to magnify their names upon the earth /ever to endure in their posterity.

But while he liveth his soul is called happy /he is praised while he is in prosperity.  
But when he shall pass away to his father's kynnered /he shall nevermore see light.

¶ Here he threteneth /good to come and to rebuke our unrightwisnes whereby we worship him contrary to his mind /and those things wherein he would chiefly be worshyped /we leave utterly undone.  
THe lord god so strong (the earth called up from the east unto the west and from that goodly zion) shall speak /coming in his majesty.  
For our god shall come and not tarry /a devoueringe fire shall go before him /and round about him a vehement whirlwind.  
He shall call to him heaven above/ & the earth beneath /to contend with his people in judgement.  
saying /be you gathered together before me my faithful /joined to my covenant concerning trwe sacrifices.

Hear my people /for I shall speak /oh Israel be thou thy self witness /wither I be not god: yea and that even thy god.  
Did I ever rebuke the for thy sacrifices? or for thy daily brent offeraunces to be offered before me?  
Did I ask either bull of thy house or goat out of thy fold?  
For /mine are all the beasts of the woods /and thousandis beasts upon the mountains.  
The birds of the hills are well known to me: & of the foulis of the field am not I ignorant.  
If I have lust to eat /I need not tell thee /for all the world is mine & whatsoever is in it.  
Do I eat o ye flesh? or drink I gotis blood? Slay thanks giving unto the lord: and pay thy promises unto the most high god  
And then call upon me in time of tribulation /and I shall deliver thee: to th'intentintent thou shouldst magnify me.  
But contrariwise /thus speaketh god unto the ungodly: wherefore prechest thou my law /and takest my covenant into thy mouth?  
When yet thou hatest my discipline /and castest my words at thy tail?  
When thou hast gotten a thief thou runnest with him: and layst in thy lot with adulterers.  
Thou openneste thy mouth unto mischief: and thy tongue painteth forth desaytes.  
Thou sittest and speakest against thy noun brother /and vexest unjustly thy mother's son.  
These things thou dost /and yet do I wink thereat /besides all this as though this were not enough /thou thinkest me but like thy self: but I shall reason and convince thee /and set myself in thy sight.  
Considere these things I pray you /whereby the remembrance of god is fallen away: jest when I pluck you away /there be noon to deliver you.

Let them not (I beseech thee) be shamed for my sake which trust in thee (o lord god of powers) let them not (I pray thee) be confounded through me /which seek thee (o god of Israel.  
For /for thy sake I am both reviled /and shame covereth my face. I am become a stranger unto my noun brethren /and a way farer to my mother's children.  
For /the zeal that I bear to thy house hath procured me sorrow /the spiteful rebukes of men reviling thee /fell upon me.  
I wept and feebled myself with fast: but all was turned into my shame and obprobrye.  
I did upon me sack /but for so doing they jested upon me.  
They made me their laughing stok that sat in the gate /and the drunkards in taverns made songs upon me.  
But here in good time I offer my prayer unto thee (o lord god) help me for thy infinite mercy /with thy present and assured salvation Take me up out of this tough clay /and let me no longer steke in it /deliver me from my haters and from the depth of this sea.  
Let not /I beseech thee /these swelling waters overwhelm me /nor this whirlepitte swelowe me in /and shut up her mouth over me.  
Here me (o Lord) for thy sweet goodness /for thy infinite mercy look upon me.  
And turn not thy face from thy servant /for I am in distress /haste the to help me.  
Draw nigh to redeem me /deliver me /for because my enemies blaspheme the.  
Thou knowest my obprobrye /rebukes /shame /and ignomynye /all my enemies are in thy sight.  
My heart is broken and overcome with obprobryes and rebukes /I look for some to pity me /but there is non: I waited for some counforters /but I find non.  
They did put gall into my meat and when I thirsted they gave me to drink vinegar.  
Let their own table before them be turned into their own snare /requite them with like meat and drink into their own fall.  
Let their eyes be derkened that they see not /and their loins weak continually to slide.  
Power forth upon them thy indignation /and let the fury of thy wrath take them.  
Let their houses be desolate /and in their tabernacles no man to devil.  
For whom thou hadst smitten they yet persecuted: and wounded him whom thou hadst plagued.  
Say upon heapis of mischief for themselves /and let them never be partakers of thy rightwysmakinge.  
Blot them out of the book of the living men /And let them not be written among the just.  
But me /both poor and sorrowful let thy saving health defend o god.  
That I might magnify the name of god in metre /and extol it highly with thanks giving.  
Where in the lord miche more delighteth then in bullis and calves armed with horn and howe.  
Hereto have ye respect o ye humble and rejoice /seek god and your soul shall live.  
For the lord heareth the poor afflict /and his presoners he despiseth not.  
Heaven and earth might praise him /the sea and what so ever crepith in it love him.  
For god shall save zion /and the cities of juda shalbe preserved /inhabited and possessed.  
For the seed of his servants shall possede it: and who so love his name shall dwell in it.   

¶ This Psalm is of the same Argument with the former.  
O god speed the to deliver me /o lord haste the into my help.  
Ashamed and confounded might they be /that seek my soul /let them be turned bakwarde with shame which covet to hurt me. Let them be put to flight with confusion which with a gaude cry at me /oh oh.  
But they all might joy and be glad in thee /which seek the and love that saving health which is of thee /they might say continually /god be highly praised.  
I am careful and poor (o God): but thou lord haste the to help /and deliver me /and tarry not.   

¶ The Argument.  
¶ A prayer and thanks giving that the Lord voichsaveth to be present as well in our age /as youth /because there is no age with out tribulation  
IN thee /o lord /do I trust let me never be confounded for thou deliverest and takest me unto the for thy mercies sake /thou hearest me and thou savest me.  
Thou art my strong rock unto whom I ever flee /thou haste decreed to save me /for thou art my rock and my buswerke.  
My god deliver me from the hand of the ungodly /and from the power of the unjust and cruel man.  
For thou (Lord God) art my expectation and my hope even from my youghth.  
Unto the do I cleave even from my mother's womb /thou pluckedst me out of my mother's belly /wherefore all my praise I do spend upon the.  
I am become a prodigious monster unto many men /but thou art my trust.  
Wherefore I praise the with full mouth /my mouth is full of thy glory at all tyme.  
Cast me not away in mine old age /and when now my strength faileth me /see that thou yet forsakest me not.  
For my enemies conspire against me /and they that lay await for my soul counsel together saying.  
God hath forsaken him /perswe and take him /for there is noon to help him.  
God /be not far fro me /my God haste the to help me.  
They might be ashamed and perissh that are against my soul /let them be covered with obprobrye and ignominy which study to hurt me.  
But let me be ever constant /and increase only all thy glorious praise.  
Let my mouth magnify thy rightwysmakinge and thy saving health at all time /whereof I know non end.  
Let me entreyn lord to remember thy power and thy rightwismakinge only.  
For thou (god) even fro my chyldehede unto this present day techest me to preach thy marvelous acts.  
Forsake me not now in mine old age and hore head (o god) that I might yet preach thy power unto this posterity and declare thy arm unto all men to come.  
And also extol highly thy rightwiseness (o god) whereby thou hast finesshed great things/ (o God) who is like thee?  
Which haste showed me tribulations and many grievous afflictions /and eft soon thou restoredst me and lyftedst me up agene /even out of the deep earth.  
Thou encreasedst me with honour and dignity /and after my trouble didst comfort me.  
Wherefore I do magnify the and thy truth (o my god) with Lute and Orgains /I sing unto the with harp o holy maker of israel My lips desire to praise thee /ye my soul which thou hast redeemed desiereth to love the.  
My tongue is evermore talking of thy just dealing: for they are confounded and shamed that convert to do me mischief.

¶ The Argument.  
¶ A prayer for himself /and his people: whereby christ and his church is signified.  
O god /endue the king with equity /give the son of the king grace to minister justice.  
That he might rule the people with justice /and govern thy poor with equity.  
Let the mountains bring peace unto the people /and the hill tops rightwiseness.  
That he might in judgement deliver the most poor among the people /and preserve the nedions /but the violent extorsioner utterly destroy.  
That they might the more fear the through all generations as long as the son and moan shall walk round about the earth.  
Let equity and justice come down unto the earth like rain into a new mown medewe /and like the sweet honey drops standing upon the grass.  
Let justice flourish in his time /and much peace endure as long as the moan keepeth her course.  
And let him rule from the one sea unto the t'other /and from the flood Euphrates unto the worlds end.  
Before him the Ethiopes shall fall down /and his enemies like the earth.  
The kings of the sea and eylandes shall bring him gifts /the kings of Araby and Sabe shall bring him presents.  
All kings might worship him all gentiles might serve him  
That he might deliver the complaining poor supplyaunt /and help the careful socourlesse.  
That he might have compassion on the poor need one /and preserve the lives of the homble oppressed.  
Redeminge them from danger & injury & esteeming their blood so precious.  
He might live and have given him of the gold of Araby /be he worshipped with out end and magnified for ever.  
There might be so great plenty of wheat in the earth through out the hill tops /that they might wave and smite them together like the trees of Libanus: they might groweforth before the city like the grass of the earth.  
His name might endewre foreever /his name might wax fresh and young like the son.  
All nations be blessed in him /all folk might preach him blessed.  
Praised be the lord god /the God of Israel /which alone doth marvelous things.  
And praised be the name of his majesty for ever /and the earth universal be fulfilled with his majesty. Amen. Amen.  
¶ The end of the prayers of David the son of jesse.   

¶ The title of this Psal. 73. ¶ The song of Asaph  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ The exercise and increase of faith which is greatly offended at the prosperity of the ungodly: but when she espieth the unlike end of the good and bad: she cometh agene to herself with great consolation.  
O how sweet is the God of Israel unto them which are pure in heart.  
My feet verily were almost go my fotinge had almost failed me. When I fill into a fond anger mind to see all things prosperously succeed with the ungodly.  
They bear no burdens /but be in all ease and riches.  
They be not oppressed with mortal misery of men /neither beaten like other men.  
Wherefore they are so pufte up with pride that they be drowned in mischief and injury.  
So that for their wealy riches they be given unto all lusts /and follow the desyers of their own hearts.  
All things do they abhor /save those only which they them selves speak /ye and that so proudly They stretcheforth their mouth up into heaven /but their tongue wandereth through the world.  
Wherefore they have their flok here following them: and here cometh forth their so great advantage. yea /and they dare say also /how should god know it /and how should the high god wit it?  
Wherefore thus considered I with myself: lo these ungodly and rich men possess riches perpetually.  
In vain therefore do I purify my heart: in vain do I wash my hands with innocency.  
In vain am I beaten all the day and chastened all the hole night.  
While I thus (I say) considered with myself /I had almost reproved the fellowship of thy children. And I thought then to know that thing which was right hard and heavy for me to know.  
until I was entered into the secret holy place of god /and considered the end of these men.  
That is to weet /that thou hadst set them in a slybery place /to cast them down hedelinge.  
Lord how suddenly are they baneshed and destroyed /consumed with sundry myseheifes?  
Nonotherwyse than a dream after a man is a wake /for even so lord thou dost away their image out of the cite.  
But on this manner in the mean time my heart consumed in bitterness /and my reins were grievously tormented.  
Thus I brent and glowed in foleshnes /and in my noun consaight was I but a beast.  
Whiles thou yet never fayledste me but heldest me up by my right hand.  
Thou ledst me by thy counsel and eft soon tookest me up honourably.  
O how great glory is laid up for me in heaven? for as fore earthly things /when I compare them unto thee /I contemn them.  
My flesh /my heart and all fail me /for god is the strength of my heart and my part for ever.  
For lo /who so go far from thee /they are but lost /thou destroyest all them which (thy majesty contemned) play the herlets.  
But I thought it best for me to cl●ne unto God /to trust unto the Lord God and preach all his noble acts.   

¶ The Title of the psal. 74. ¶ The admonition of Asaph.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ A prayer of them being in the captivity of Babylon /lifting up their minds to God /that he suffer them not long therein to be plagued.  
Wherefore (o god) puttest us away for ever? wherefore is thy wrath thus kindled against the flok of thy pasture?  
Remember thy congregation whom thou hadst gotten the of a long time paste /forget not the sceptre of thy heritage whom thou haste redeemed /even this hill of zion wherein thou dwellest.  
Lift up thy feet quickly against these destructions /for thy adversary hath destroyed all things in thy holy place.  
Thy enemies sing and roar in thy solemn feste days /they set up tokens of victory the pinnacles.  
So that men thought they had heard axes hewing of the timber above /a great noyfe come upon them like thunder.  
All then graven work of the temple is shaken and smitten down with twibits and hamers.  
Thy holy temple is set on fire /the house of the glory of God is profaned and said smooth with the ground.  
And they say with them selves /let us destroy them all at once /let all the solemn festis of God be banesshed out of the earth.  
The tokens which thou sometime show'dst our fathers now we see them not /there is no prophet more /there is not one that can see be it never so little.  
How long (O God) shall thy enemy revile? Shall thy adversary blaspheme thy name thus ever?  
Wherefore haste thou utterly plucked in thy hand /wherefore haste thou put thy right hand into thy bosom?  
O God /thou art my governor even from the beginning /and what so ever salvation is in the world it is thy work.  
Thou skaterest the waters of the sea /thou breakest the headis of the great dragons which dwell in the waters.  
Thou breakest the hard scale of this Leviathan /and givest him into meat unto the people of indye Thou cuttest forth springe and flood /thou driest up the main seas.  
The day is thine /the night is thine /thou settest forth the light and son in their bright apparel.  
Thou hast set fast the coostes of the earth /summer and winter thou hast made them.  
Wherefore remember (o lord) the rebukes of thy adversary /and of this stockisshe people which blasph●meth thy name.  
Betake not thy turtle dove unto the cruel beast /forget not thy poor afflict for ever.  
Behold thy covenant /for the dark houses of the earth are all full of mischief.  
Let not the poor contrite and ashamed be repelled /neither the homble adflicte which love thy name.  
Arise God /defend thy cause /remember the obprobrye wherewith the foolish man blasphemeth the daily.  
forget not the proud voice of thy enemies /for the pride of them that make insurrection against thee /increaseth vehemently.

WE shall praise thee (o god) we shall praise thy present name /and thy noble & clear factis we will declare forth.  
When the time appointed shall come /I shall judge that at good and right is.  
Although the earth and all that inhabit it /be syke and feeble /yet will I sustain her pilers. 
* So I will  Selah.  
I shall say to the fools /see that ye do not foolishly: and unto the ungodly /see that ye extol not your power.  
Lift not up your horns over high to think stiefly perverse things For neither from the east nor from the west nor yet from desert or from the hills /shall there come any to defend you.  
But God is the deliverer /this man he casteth down and him he lifteth up.  
For there is a goodly cup full of red wine in his hand which shallbe powered forth /but the dreggiss thereof shall all the ungodly of the earth souke and drink up.  
But I shall evermore preach and praise the god of jacob.  
And all the horns of the ungodly shall I break /but the power of the just shalbe exalted.

¶ A praise and thanks for some great victory.  
GOd is known in juda /and great is his name in Israel For in Salem is his tabernacle and his habitation in zion.  
There hath he broken the swift arrows /bows bucklers swords & all the hole battle. 
* So he hath . Selah.  
Clearer and more to be magifyed art thou then the hills of thieves. For they theyr selues shallbe rob/ & be they never so bold minded /yet shall they sleep their deed dream and be brought to nought with all their riches /were they never so mighty.  
For at thy rebuke (o god of jacob) both cart and horse are overwhelmed.  
Thou art to be dreaded /for who may abide in thy sight when thou art angry?  
When thou pronouncest judgement from heaven /then the earth trembleth and is stil.  
That is to wit /Even when god ariseth unto judgement to deliver all the poor afflict of the earth. 
* As he shall vesely . Selah.  
For because of this vengeance /men acknowledge and praise thee /to the intent thou shouldst bend thy self agene to avenge them.

¶ The title of the Psal. 77 ¶ The song of Asaph committed unto the quere of Idithum.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ Faith is tempted /but she defendeth herself with the contemplation of god and his deadis /but yet is she still tempted /but at last she hath the victory /when she settleth herself in the deep consideration of the almighty power and providence of god.  
WIth my voice when I cried unto god /unto god when I cried with my voice /he gave ear unto me.  
When I was troubled /I sought the lord /my strength wasted every night and rested not /my soul refused all comfort  
When god come into my remembrance /I was in great distress: when I should begin /my breath failed me. 
* So it did  Selah.  
Thou heldst my eye lids /I was so astoned that I could not speak Then I remembered the times past and the worlds over slyden.  
I called to mind my songs in the night /I spoke unto my heart and discussed my mind /saying. Shall the Lord repel me for ever? shall he never more be appeased?  
Will he with draw his goodness for ever? will he no more speak to our posterity?  
Hath god forgotten to have mercy? will he shit up his mercy with his wrath? 
* ye will he ? Selah.  
And at last I was brought unto this saying. Art thou not well yn thy mind?  
It is (I tell thee) the right hand of the high God /that maketh this mutation.  
I shall remember the works of the Lord: and gladly call to mind thy old miracles.  
And I shall preach thy excellent dediss /and speak upon thy counsels.  
O god /thy way lieth in thy holy temple /who is so mighty god /as God is?  
Thou art god which dost so marvelous things /which maketh thy strength known among the multitude:  
Which hast redeemed the people with thy power /even the sons of jacob and joseph. 
* S● thou hast . Selah.  
Even the waters know thee (O God) the waters know the and fere thee /the deep seas tremble at the.  
The clouds powerforth waters the clouds cast forth thunder /and eft soon thy arrows i'll forth on every side.  
Thy thunder clappis ar heard round about /lightnings are smitten forth into the world /the earth trembleth and quaketh.  
In the sea thy way lieth /and thy path upon the deep waters /so that no man can espy thy steps.  
Thou leddest forth thy people like a flock of sheep under the governance of Moses and Aharon.   

¶ The instruction of Asaph.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ An oration spoken unto the people /money shinge them to be taught by then samples of their elders /to return into the way.  
Hear my law /my people: give ear unto the words of my mouth.  
I shall open my mouth to speak parables /and declare the old hard speeches.  
Which we have both herd and have certainly known /our fathers so telling us.  
Let us not hide them from their children in the world to come /but let us all preach the glory of the lord /his power and strength/ & marvelous acts which he hath done For he made a covenant with jacob /and gave a law unto Israel /commanding our fathers to d●lyuer it forth and teach it they● children.  
That their posterity and children to come should both know it/ and also expowne it unto their children.  
To thintent they should set fast their hope in god /never to forget his counsels /but keep his precepts And not to be like their fathers a nation unfaithful /falling from god unto false worship /a nation that would not be certified in heart /whose spirit and mind was not true towerd god.  
As were the sons of Ephraim /which for all their featis of war being never so good archers: yet in time of battle were they scattered and fled.  
And all for because they kept not covenant with god: and in his law they would not walk.  
But forgot his counsels /and also his great wondrefull works/ which he showed them.  
Before their fathers he did marvelous things in the land of Egypt /even in their plain field called Tanies.  
He divided the sea and led them over: and set up the waters of each side like wallis.  
Under the cloud he led them be day: and all the night with clear light.  
He clove insunder the stonney rocks in the desert /and gave them to drink there of /as out of a great deep sea.  
He dreweforth waters of the stone /so that they gusshed forth like rivers.  
And yet for all this they sinned against him: and exasperated the high god in that wilderness.  
Temptinge god in their hearts requiring meet after their own lust For they replied against god /saying: may god orden be meet in this desert?  
Lo /he smote the stone and there flowed forth waters plenteously: but wither may he not also give meet and prepare flesh as well for his people?  
These things heard /the lord was angry /and like fire was he kindled against jacob /and his indignation increased against Israel:  
Because they had not kept promise with god /neither trusted in his wholesome help.  
Over all this /yet he commanded the clouds above /and opened the gates of the sky.  
To rain them down Manna to eat it /because he would give them heavenly food.  
Here did every man eat that angels food /for he sent them thereof enough.  
He turned about the east wind with the clowdis /and by his power induced a south wind.  
And so reigned them down flesh upon them as thick as dust and feathered fowls as plenty as the sea sandis.  
Which he threw into the middies of their tentis /and round about their tabernacles.  
Then they devowered them up/ & were filled above measure: for he gave them their own desire.  
They wanted nothing of their appetite: and yet their meet being in their mouths:  
Lo /the wrath of god was kindled over them /and slew the most strongest of them /and even the picked out of Israel did he cut away But yet above all this they sinned against him /for they believed not these so many his miracles.  
Wherefore he finesshed their days and not with out a cause /suddenly their yeris were go.  
Whiles he slew them /they sought him: and suddenly they returned to god.  
And remembered that god was their stoney rok: and the high God their redeemer.  
all be it with their mouths they flattered him: yet with their tongue they lied.  
For their heart was not whole toward him /neither kept they promise in covenant with him.  
But yet (for all this) full mercifully did he forgive them /because he would not destroy them /and full often revoked he his wrath because he would not all kindle it.  
For he considered that they were but flesh /and wind that goeth away never to return.  
How often did they exasperated him in the desert /and provoked him to anger in the wilderness?  
O /how did these bakslyders tempt god /and mocked the holy God of Israel?  
Forgetinge his power/ & also the day wherein he had delivered them from thoppressor:  
How he had wrought his miracles against the giptions /and his woundres in the field of Tanys:  
How he changed their rivers into blood /and also their waters that they could not drink.  
How he sent them lice to eat them up /and frogs to destroy them He destroyed their corn and grass with hot worms /and wasted their labour with locustis.  
He beit down their wines with hail stones /and did frost bite they moreburyes.  
He destroyed their cattle with hail storms /and smit down their flockis with hot thunder boltis  
For in the hot fury of his fierce indignation he sent into among them great tribulations and incursions of evil spirits.  
He laid open the way of his wrath to invade both those men their selves and their beasts to.  
For he smote every first begotten of Egypt: even all the chief labours /in the tabernacles of Ham.  
But his people he led them forth like a flock of sheep /and drove them into the desert like a drove of neat.  
He led them so surely that they needed nothing to have feared: for their enemies he overwhelmed with the sea.  
And brought them into the coostes of his holy place /even unto that hill which he got them with his right-hand  
He expelled the gentiles before their faces /and divided them that heritage metforth with lines /settling the tribis of Israel even in the tabernacles of their enemies.  
But they did tempt and anger the most high god /and observed not his covenant.  
They fill back from him like their fathers /they rebelled like a naughty bow.  
They angered him with their images erected on high: and provoked him to wrath with their Idols.  
Which once heard /god was sore amoved /and greatly detested and abhorred Israel.  
And then he forsook the tabernacle which was first in Silo: even his habitation where he dwelled among men.  
And betook their strength into captivity: and their glorious beauty he delivered into the handis of their enemies.  
He casted his people against the sword /he was so sore angry with his heritage.  
Fire devoured his young men/ & noon mourned the state of his maidens.  
His priests were smytendowne with sword /and there were no widewes to lament them.  
And the lord start up as one waken from sleep /even like a soldyere refreshed and animated with wine.  
And beit their enemies on the neither aftir partis /and made them a perpetual ignomy.  
He turned himself away from the tentis of joseph /and repudiated the tribe of Ephraim.  
But he chose the tribe of juda/ & also the hill of zion whom he loveth. There he builded (as richly and honourably as might be) his holy temple: and laid the foundation as fast as the earth itself long to endewer.  
He chose also his servant David /and took him up from the shepcote He led him away from the following his flok great with young /to fede jacob his people and Israel his own heritage.  
He fed them therefore poorly after thinnocency of his own heart /and according to his high prudent virtue he led them forth.

¶ A complaint of the godly /upon the destruction of jerusalem & miserable captivity thereof.  
O god /the gentiles have invaded thy heritage /they have polluted thy holy temple /and brought jerusalem into an heap of stones. They have made the carcases of thy servants meat for the fowls of the air /and the flesh of thy saints meat for the beasts of the earth They shed their blood like water through out all jerusalem /and noon there was to bury them.  
We are an obprobrye unto our neighbours: a laughing stock derided of them that dwell round about us How long lord wilt thou abhor us? wilt thou utterly kindle thy wrath to burn us thus up for ever? Powerforth thy wrath upon these heathen gentiles that have not known thee/ & upon the kingdoms which call not upon thy name.  
Which have devoured jacob/ & cut away his habitation.  
Remember not our sins of old committed: but let thy mercies suddenly prevent us: for we be made very poor.  
Help us /o god our saviour for thy glorious name/ & deliver us: be peased and pardon our sins for thy name's sake.  
Wherefore should the gentiles say /where is their god? let the blood shed of thy seruantis be avenged upon the gentiles /in our sight.  
Let the sorrowful sighs of them that lie bound in presone enter into thy presence /and for thy mighty power save them that be judged to die.  
These men which have us now in their daungere /have reviled the exceedingly /but Lord /turn this contumelious revylinge into their own bosoms.  
And let us thy people and the flok of thy pasture give the thanks for ever /and preach thy praise unto every age to come.

Blow up your trumpets of the new moan /in this so solemn feste For this is the rite of Israel /and a law so ordained of the God of jacob.  
Even the testimony which he decreed for joseph /after that he had foughten against thegyptians /where we heard that strange tongue.  
When your shoulders were eased of that burden /and your hands renounced the pottiss of flesh.  
When thou thyself called'st on me in tribulation/ & I had delivered thee /I lurking in the thunder /spoke unto thee /and proved the at the waters of contention. 
* So I did  Sela.  
O my people /hear: for I shall doubtless promise thee (o Israel:  
That if thou wilt obey me /thou shalt have no strange god /nor fall down before no nother god.  
For it is I that am the Lord thy god which have led the out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth and I shall fill it.  
But my people received not my voice /and even Israel forsook me.  
Wherefore I forsook them & left them unto the shrewdness of their own heart: and then they followed their own devices.  
O that my people would hear me /I would that Israel had walked in my ways.  
For then should I have myneshed their enemies & turned my hand against their adversaries.  
They had frustrated the haters of the lord in Israel /and had had there a long tyme.  
And he should have fed them with the flower of wheat /and satisfied them with honey /even out of the very rock.

Even the heavens do magnify thy clear acts o lord: and the congregation of the faithful preach thy faith and troth.  
For who is there even in the clouds that may be compared unto the lord? or among the gods like unto the lord?  
God is to be dreaded in the great company of the faithful /and greatly to be reverenced above all that are about him.  
O lord God of powers who is like unto thee /in majesty /faith and troth? where with thou art assisted on each side.  
Thou commandest the proud sea thou presseste down her waves when they begin to rise.  
Thou breakest and woundest the proud: and with thy power scaterest thine enemies.

Thou lord art our shield /o holy maker of Israel our king.  
Thou spakest some time prechinge to thy faithful /saying: I shall give strength unto my mighty one /and exalt my chosen man over the people.  
I shall get David to be my servant and with my holy ointment anoint him.  
My hand shall stay him /and mine arm shall strengthen him.  
His enemy shall not overcome him: neither the mischievous shall not oppress him.  
I shall smite down his enemies before him: and destroy them that hate him.  
My troth and mercy shall never fail him: and through my power his power shallbe exalted.  
I shall stretcheforthe his majesty imperial unto the west sea /and his kingdom unto the flood Euphrates.

Before the mountains or the earth were brought forth: before the round world was made: from ever unto everlasting thou art god.  
Thou bringest man into dust/ & again /thou sayest return into your perfit state ye children of Adam.  
For a thousand years are before thee /even as yisterdaye past: & like the watches of the night.  
Whiles thou scaterest them /they be but a dream /suddenly they are changed like grass.  
The grass flouressheth and groweth in the morning /but at the evening it is cut down and withered.  
Even so /thou being wrath /we be consumed /and in thy anger we are troubled.  
Thou holdest our sins before the our secret deadis are open in thy clear presence.  
Thou being anger /all our days are slyden away: our years are go in a thought.  
The days of our years that we live are almost seventye year /and they that be more lusty /live four score: of which even the best be sauced with labour and sorrow: and even suddenly are we fallen and flone away.

For it is he that will deliver the from the honters snare /and from their pestilent mischief.  
He will cover the with his wings to be sure under his feathers /his faith and truth shalbe thy shield and buckler.

For that mine eye shall see /and mine ear perceive the mischief happened unto my enemies /which arose against me.  
The just shall floureshe like the palm tree /and spread his branches like the Cedars of ●ibanus.  
For they planted in the house of the Lord /shall flouresshe in the court of our god.

Behold lord the floudis extol themself: the floudis extol their noise /the floudis lyftuppe their streams.  
But yet myghtyer is the lord that dwelleth on high: then the sown of the maigne sea and streams of water /be they never so vehement.  
What things so ever thou haste testified and promised upon thy fair holy house: they shall abide true and fast (lord) perpetually.

O Lord god the very avenger /o god avenge openly and be glorified.  
Be thou exalted o judge of world: requite the proud as they be worthy.  
How long Lord /how long do the ungodly triumph?  
How praare they their own fables? how long shall all these wicked persons dispute of vain things?  
How long shall they grind thy people together /and vex thy heritage?  
The poor destitute and the strangers they sleye: and torment the fatherless.  
saying /the lord knoweth not of it/ & the God of jacob perceiveth nothing of this.  
Take heed therefore ye unwise among the people /and ye fools be once wise.  
Shall not he hear that did few on the earee? shall he not se thee /that made the eyes?  
Shall not he that nourterethe the gentiles correcke them? shall not he chastise /that teacheth men knowledge?  
Unto the lord verily are man's devices well known /he knoweth them for vain and nought.  
O how happy is that man whom thou techest o lord: and whom thou enstructest in thy law? That he might be sure in time of peril: while in the mean time the pit is digged for the ungodly. For the lord shall not repel his people /neither forsake his heritage But he shall restore judgement unto the rule of rightwiseness: and him shall there follow all that are pure in heart.  
Who may help against these malign men? or who may stand by me against these wyked?  
Except the lord had been my helper /I had ere now been in my grave.  
For when I thought that my feet was slyden: yet was it thy mercy lord that sustained me.  
In my many fold inward sorrowful vexations: thy consolations yet refreshed my soul.  
Hast thou any thing to do with the seat of the ungodly /which under the cloak of the law forgeth all mischief and pain?

Dominus regna. iras.  Psal. 99  
THe lord reigneth & maketh the people to tremble /he sitteth upon the Cherubins and moveth the earth.  
The lord which is worshipped in zion is great: and high above all people.  
Let them extol thy great name /so terrible and so holy.  
Thy power royal loveth equity /thou holdest mercy in thy hand /and that at just and right is /thou dost it unto jacob.  
Extol ye the lord our god /and fall down before his footstool /for he is holy.  
Moses & Aron were ordined his priests /and Samuel of the number of them that call upon his name /called unto the Lord /and he answered them.  
Out of the cloudy pillar he spoke unto them: for they kept the testimonies and law which he had given them.  
Lord our God /it was thou that heardest them /thou waste unto them /both their merciful god and also the avenger of their vain devices.  
Magnify ye the lord our god /and worship him in his holy hill: for right holy is the lord our god.   

¶ A Psalm of thanks giving in the hole congregation.  
MAke ye mirth unto the Lord through out all the land /worship the lord in gladness /come into his presence joyfully.  
Acknowledge ye that the lord is god: he made us /and not we ourself which are his people and the sheep of his pasture.  
Go ye into his gates with thanks giving /and into his outward court with praise /loaf and preach his name.  
For the lord is benign /his mercy is everlasting /and his troth endureth unto all generations.   

¶ Here are princes and rulers taught how they should live their selves: and entreat other.  
MErcy and equity shall I praise in my song /unto thee (o lord) shall I sing.  
I shall endeavour to attain the pure way until thou meetest me /I shall walk in the innocency of my heart within my noun house I shall not set before me any shrewd counsel: the ungodly unhonest I so hate them /that they shall not in nowyse cleave unto me.  
wicked minded I abhor /him that forgeth mischief in nowyse will I know.  
Him that secretly detracteth his neighbour I will oppress /the proud and arrogant I may not away with.  
My eyes shalbe intent in this world unto the very faithful to dwell with me: and who so walk in the way of innocency /he shall be my servant.  
Not deceitful person shall dwell in my house /no liar shall tarry in my sight.  
All wicked persons will I cast forth in time out of the land /so that all workers of mischief shallbe cut out of the city of the lord.   

¶ A prayer of the poor afflict being in distress /powering forth his complaint before the lord.  
Lord hear my prayer and let my crying come unto the.  
hide not thy face from in time of my tribulation /but lysten unto me when I call/ & haste the to help me.  
For my days vanish away like smoke /and my bones are consumed like a fire brand.  
My heart is cut down and dried up like hay /for I forsook to take my noun meat.  
For the noise of my sorrowful wailing my bones scant cleave unto my flesh.  
I am like the pelican in the wilderness /and like the night fowl in the old broken celinges.  
I wake and am like the little sparrow which sitteth solitary with out his mate in the roof of the house. My enemies revile me continually: and they that jest upon me conspire my death.  
So that I eat my breed like ashes and mengle my drink with tears.  
And that even for thy indignation and wrath /for thou tookest me up to cast me against the ground.  
My days are like the evening cloud: for I am withered away like hay.  
But thou lord endurest for ever and thy mention is through out all ages.  
Arise thou therefore and have compassion on zion /for time it is to pity it: her appointed time is now come.  
For thy seruantis died for the love of the stones thereof/ & it berued them to see her broken into powder. Have pity lord that the gentiles might fere thy name /and all the kings of the world might reverence thy majesty.  
Even when they shall see thee (o lord) preserve zion /and appear in thy glorious power.  
When thou lystenest unto the prayer of the poor destitute /and contempnest not his desyeres.  
For this thing shallbe left written unto our posterity /that the people to come might praise the lord.  
Because he hath looked forth from his high holy place /even from heaven into the earth.  
To hear the sorrowful wailing of the bound in presone /to lose them appointed unto death.  
That in zion the name of the lord might be preached /and his glory in jerusalem.  
In the most full congregation /even when the kingdoms shall be there gathered together to worship the lord. Although in that same voyage he minesshed my strength/ & shortened my days.  
Even while I thus prayed /o my god take me not away in the mid course of my age /for thy years are everlasting.  
Thou laydst the foundation of the earth from the beginning: & the heavens are the work of thy handis.  
They shall perish /but thou shalt stand fast: and all things shallbe consumed in time /like a vesture: thou shalt change them like a garment /and they shallbe changed.  
But thou shalt abide ever one and the same /and thy years shall never have end.  
The children of thy servants and their seed /shall abide and dwell together with the.   

¶ A praise with thanks for the benefits os our creation /preservation /and iustrification  
Praise the lord my soul: and all the secret powers of my heart mought praise his holy name.  
My soul /thank thou the lord /and forget not so many his great benefits.  
Which forgiveth the all thy trespasses /and healeth all thy infirmytes Which redemeth thy life from death /and crowneth the with his benign mercy and ientlenes.  
Which satisfieth thy desire with all manner goodness /and preserveth thy youghth evermore flouresshinge like the eagle.  
In ministringe his justice and equity /the lord avengeth all the suffer wrong.  
Unto Moses he showed his ways /and his counsels unto the children of Israel.  
Right mild and merciful is the lord: slow unto wrath /but ready to forgiveness.  
He chideth not ever /neither is he angry always.  
He dealeth not with us after our sins: nor rewardeth us not acordinge to our wikednes.  
The height of the heavens is not so present over the earth /as is his merciable goodness over them that worship him.  
He setteth out sins as far from us /as is the east from the west  
Never was there any parent so tender unto his children /as is the lord unto them that worship him. For it is he that knoweth our making /he remembreth that we are but of dust.  
That the age of man mortal is like grass: that he flouressheth like a flower of the field.  
Which as soon as any sharp wind touch it: it is go /nomore found in his place.  
But the merciable goodness of the lord /is from ever and ever preserving his worshippers /and the form of his rightwismakinge is present with their childer's children. Solonge as they keep his covenant /and hold his commandments in mind to do them.  
The lord hath set fast his seat royal in heaven: and with his majesty imperial he governeth all things.  
Praise ye the Lord his angels /which excel in power to fulfil his pleasures /and to obey the voice of his word.  
Praise ye the lord all his mighty hoste /his ministers /and ye that do his pleasures.  
Praise ye the lord /all his works in every place of his dominion.  
Praise thou the lord my soul.   

¶ In this Psalm the providence of god against all creatures /is praised.  
Praise the lord my soul: o lord my god /it cannot be expressed with how great might /majesty and glory thou art ornowerned.  
Thou art decked with light as with thy garment /thou stretchest forth the heavens like a cortayne.  
Thy dwelling place is volted over fast with waters /the clouds thou framest into thy chariets /carried with the swift wings of the wind.  
Thou makest the winds thy messengers /and the flames of fire to be thy ministers.  
Thou hast laid the earth upon her own fast foundation /s● that she shall never fall /nor rele.  
Thou hast wrapped her in with the sea as it were with her vesture.  
And even when over the mountains the waters ascend: yet at thy rebuking they flee: at the noise of thy thondringe they faldowne.  
Then the hills are seen a loft /and the vales beneath in their place which thou hast appointed them  
Thou hast limited the waters their bounds which they may not pass /neither yet turn again to over flow the earth.  
Thou ledest forth the springs in that vales /which go thorough between the hills.  
To give drink unto all thy beasts of the field /that the wild asses might break their thirst.  
Above in the hills the fowls of the air have their habitations: & sing out of the thik branches.  
Thou water the hills from thy high places /through thy diligent work the earth is replenished with yearly increase.  
Thou bringest forth grass for cattle /and herbs to serve man  
Out of the earth thou bringest forth both food to sustain and refresh man: wine to make glad man's heart /and oil to make him a merry cheer.  
The trees are made fat of thy lordship /and also the Cedars of Libanus which thou hast planted That the fowls might there nestle /as is the furtre an house for the stork.  
That the high hills might be soucour for the hartis /and the rocks a refuge for the kones.  
Thou hast made the moan to wax and wanse /the sun knoweth his down falling.  
Than bringest thou yn darkness to make the night /in that which all the beasts of the forestis crepeforth. As the young lions roringe for their proye /to seek their meat appointed them of god.  
But the sun arising /they convey themself in again /and lay them down in their dens.  
And then cometh forth man unto his work /and to till his land until evening.  
O how great are thy works o lord? which all so wisely thou hast made /right full is the earth of thy goods.  
The sea also is great and wide every ways /wherein are things crepinge innumerable /as fishes and beasts /some small and some exceeding great.  
Whereupon sail the ships/ & there is the great whalefisshe whom thou hast made to mock and play therein.  
all these creatures depend upon thee /that thou shouldst give them their meat at their tyme.  
For /thou giving it them /they take it: and thou opening thy hand /they are well satisfied.  
But thou /hydinge thy face /they are sorrowful: and thou taking away their breath /they are but dead and turned into the earth that they come of.  
And again /when thou puttest forth thy breath /anon there are things created agene: and thus thou renewest the face of the earth.  
The glorious majesty of the lord might reign for ever /the lord might rejoice in his works. At whose look the earth trembleth at whose touching the hills smoke.  
I shall sing unto the lord while I live /while I have my being I shall sing unto my god.  
My prayer be pleasant before him: for I rejoice in the lord.  
Sinners might be consumed out of the earth /and the ungodly nevermore to be seen: but thou /o my soul /praise thou the lord.  
Halleluia.   

¶ In this psalm /we be taught the providence of god /and how fatherly he tendereth the faithful.  
Thank ye the lord /magnify his name: & preach his woundrefull counsels to the people.  
Sing and make melody unto him common together upon his clear acts.  
Praise his holy name /the hearts of the sekers of the lord might rejoice.  
Seek ye the lord incessauntly /seek his presence and cease not.  
Remember his great deadis and miracles which he hath done /and also his judgments which he pronounced with his mouth.  
O ye seed of Abraham his servants: o children of jacob his choose It is he that is the lord our god /whose ensamples are known through all the world.  
He never forgetteth his covenant and promise /which he hath showed unto infinite generations:  
Even the same covenant which he smote with Abraham /and his holy oath made unto Isaac:  
Which he decreed for a law with jacob: and confirmed it with Israel into a perpetual testament. saying: unto the shall I give the land of Canaan /to be the lot of thy heritage.  
When they were yet but few in number/ & strangers therein.  
Going from nation to nation /from one kingdom to another people.  
yet suffered he noman to hurt them /but chastened even kings for their pleasure.  
saying: touch not my anointed and unto my prophets /see that ye do no harm.  
After this when he had called a famyn upon that land /and broken all their sustenance.  
Then sent he before them a man /even joseph /which was sold to be a bond servant.  
Whose feet were sore bound with feters /a bar of iron went over his breast.  
But by the counsel of the lord was he thus proved /until the time that he had set /should come.  
And then sent the king commanding him to be loosed: the prince of the people commanded him to be delivered.  
And made him ruler of his house and lord over all his goodis.  
That he should instruct his nobles at his pleasure/ & teach his sage rulers prudence.  
And at last come Israel also into Egypt /and jacob become a stranger in the land of Ham.  
And the Lord increased his people there so greatly /that they were at last stronger then their adversaries  
And then thegyptians hearts changed /they persecuted his people /and sought occasions deceitfully to trap his servants.  
Wherefore he sent Moses his servant /and Aaron his chosen.  
And gave them power to show wonders/ & to do miracles in the land of Ham.  
He casted darkness upon them/ & it was midnight over all /for it could not avoid his commandment. He turned their waters into blood /and killed their fish.  
Their land crewiled full of froggis /yea and that even in the kings privy chambers.  
He commanded it /and anon there come forth swarms of all manner flies /gnattis /and lice /were in all their coostis.  
For showers of rain /he gave them hail storms /and lightnings into their land.  
Wherewith he smote their wines and figtrees /and blasted their trees through out all their coostis  
At his word /there were present venomese hot flies /and caterpylers innumerable.  
And eit up all that green was in their land /and devowered all their fruit.  
Also he smote every first begotten in their land /even their chief things of all their labour.  
And at last he led them forth with silver and gold /neither was there any syke in all their tribs.  
Egypt was glad of their going forth: for they began to be afraid of them.  
And here /the lord stretched them forth a cloud to shadewe them/ & ministered fire to lighten them by night When they asked it /he sent them great plenty of quails/ & filled them with food sent down out of the air He opened the rock /and there flowed forth waters and made them rivers in the dry desert.  
And all because he would not forget the sacrament of his holy promise made to Abraham his servant. He led forth therefore his people with great gladness/ & his chosen with great joy.  
And delivered them the provinces of the gentiles /and whatsoever the people had gotten with their labour they now posseded it.  
To thintent they should observe his just pleasures /and keep diligently his law.  
Halleluia.   

¶ This psalm is a thanks giving for the old benefits of god /and an obtaining of gods favour. Halleluia.  
Give ye thanks unto the lord /for he is evermore benign and merciful.  
Who may worthily treat his noble actio /and preach his full praise?  
O how blessed be they that observe equity /and do right at all time.  
Remember us lord for thy gracious goodness towerd thy people: & visit us with thy saving health That thy elect might see thy goodness /that thy folk might be glad & thy noun peculiar people might clap their handis for joy.  
We have offended with our fathers /we be sinners and have done wickedly.  
Our fathers yet in Egipte considered not thy marvelous acts /they regarded not thy great goodness but rebelled even at the read sea.  
But yet the lord saved them for his name's sake /to declare his almighty power.  
For anon as he rebuked the read sea it was dried up /and he led them over through the depeth as through the dry land.  
He delivered them from the hand of their haters/ & preserved them from the power of their enemies. The waters overwhelmed their adversaries: so that not one of them remained.  
And then they believed his words/ & sung him that glorious song But full soon after forgot they his works /neither would they abide his pleasure.  
And they offended him with their impatient desires in the desert /they provoked god unto anger in the wilderness.  
And yet he gave them their desire and did put away their penury of which it yrked them so sore.  
Then they angered Moses in their tentis /and envy Aron the lords holy man.  
But the ground gaped and swallowed in Dathan /and closed over the church of Abiram:  
Fire first kindled and set upon their congregation /and many of the ungodly brent up.  
They had also made them a calf in horeb /and fildowne before the graven image.  
And they casted away their glory for the image of a calf eating hay Forgetinge god their saviour /which had done so great things in Egipte.  
So great miracles in the land of Han /so dreadful things in the read sea Wherefore the lord had decreed to destroy them /had not Moses his elect man steptforth in that article into his presence to sustain and bear his fury /jest he should have casten them away.  
Over this yet despised they some time the desiderable land /in so miche that they would not believe his words.  
Then they murmured and swelled in their tabernacles /neither would they obey the commandment of the lord.  
Wherefore he lifted up his hand against them /to have smitten them down in the desert.  
To disperse their seed into among the gentiles: and to scatter them among the harthen.  
besides this they married them selves unto Baal peor/ & eite the sacrifices offered to dead stocks.  
And thus they offended him witheir own inventions /wherefore the pestilence fellyn upon them. Then was Pinhas the avenger anon present: and the pestilence suaged.  
Which thing was reckoned him for a good deed /for evermore among his posterity.  
They yet exasperated him at the waters of strife /which thing made Moses to be punished for their sakis.  
For they so angered the spirit of god that he spoke it plainly with his lips.  
That they should not clean cast out the gentiles /whom the Lord had promised them to pluck up.  
Wherefore they were mingled with the gentiles /and learned the works of them.  
And they worshipped their images which brought them to their fall:  
As to slay their own sons and daughters /and offer them up unto devils.  
To shed the innocent blood of their own sons and daughters /whom they offered unto the images of the Canaanites /polluting the earth with their blood.  
And that they their selves should also be profaned & polluted with their own works /plaing the harlettis with their own devices and inventions. 
A grievous fall from God their glory.   
Then the lords wrath was set on fire against his people /and he abhorred his heritage.  
He gave them up into the power of the gentiles /and they that hated them were their lords.  
Their enemies oppressed them /they were subiectis unto them  
Often times he delivered them /and they as oft rebelled with their own devices /For their own sins therefore were they oppressed But yet when he beheld their distress /and heard their complaints He remembered his covenant with them/ & for his great infinite mercy he pytied them.  
And gave them favour with all that had taken them.  
Save us lord our god /and gather us out of the gentiles /that we might love thy holy name & preach thy glory.  
Praised be the lord god of Israel from ever into everlasting /and all people might say Amen  
hallelujah.   

¶ Thanks for the benefits of the providence of god.  
Give ye thanks unto the lord: for he is evermore mild and merciful.  
Let them give thanks which are redeemed of the Lord /ye and that even from the power of their enemies.  
And hath gathered them from the gentiles /from the este and west /from the north and south  
When they wandered in the wilderness in a way not trodden /finding no city to rest in.  
So hungry and thirsty that their lives failed them:  
They cried unto the lord in their distress /and he delivered them out of their anxte.  
And brought them into the right way /that they might come unto the city which they should inhabit.  
Let them therefore praise the goodness of the lord /and his clear works showed unto the children of men.  
For he satisfieth the hungry soul /and the thirsty he filleth right well.  
For when they sat in darkness and shadew of death /being bound & grieved with iron:  
Because they had cast away the commandmentis of god /and provoked the mind of the most highest.  
When he had brought their hearts fullowe with labour /when they lay noman to help them up. They cried unto the lord in their affliction /and he delivered them from their distress.  
He led them forth of the darkness of that deadly shadew /and broke of their bondis.  
Let them therefore praise the goodness of the Lord /and his clear acts done unto the children of men.  
For it is he that broke the brazen gates /and smote the bars of iron insunder.  
For when the unwise had go a wrong way /and should be scourged for their own wickedness.  
And when their appetite abhorred all naner meat /and they were now even at deaths door.  
They cried unto the Lord in their anxt /and he delivered them out of their distress.  
He sent his rightwise one /and healed them /and delivered them from their death.  
Let them therefore praise the goodness of the Lord /and his woundrese deadis done unto the children of men.  
And offer him up the sacrifice of thanks /and preach his works joyously.  
Who so climb the seas with ship: and expede their business on the sea.  
They know the works of the Lord and his marvelous acts which he doth in the depth.  
For at his commandment the wyndye storms arise /and lift up her waves.  
Now are they lifted up unto heaven /anon are they down as deep as hell /which peril vexeth their minds sore.  
They rele and stagger like drunken men /and are all at their wits end:  
But when they cry unto the lord in their anxt /he delivereth them from their distress.  
He ceaseth the tempest /and bringeth in the calm after that he hath suaged the swelling waves.  
And then they rejoice for their quietness given them again /and eft soon he bringeth them unto their desyered haven.  
Let them therefore praise the goodness of the Lord /and extol his woundreful works done for the children of men.  
Let them extol him ●n the congregation of the people /and praise him in the presence of the elders:  
Which turneth rivers into dry land /and the veins of quyke springs into thirsty sand.  
He maketh the fat and fruitful region all barayn /for the malice of the dwellers therein.  
Which contrariwise also turneth the dry desert into sweet waters: and the dry stouburne clots into lively fountains  
And setteth there the hongrye to build them cities to dwell in:  
To sow the feldis /and plant vineyards /which might yilde them their yearly increase.  
He nouressheth and increaseth them exceedingly /and suffereth no their cattles to minisshe.  
But when he minissheth and maketh them full poor and low /b● violence /affliction and sorrow. When he casteth them bond to th● rulers for a proye /when he leadeth them all about by vain and void placis where is no way.  
yet at last he easeth the poor from his heavy need /and giveth him an household like a flock of heap.  
These things might the just behold /and be glad /and let every malicious stop his mouth.  
Who so ever thou be and art wise /mark thou well these things that the benefits of god might be known.   

¶ A Prayer unto God against ungodly enemies /and for tranquillity and peace.  
My mind is full bent (o god) both to sing and play thy praise with all my heart.  
A wake thou my lute /and my harp to /that I might begin speedily a none.  
And praise the among the people o Lord /and love the among the gentiles.  
Because thy goodness is higher then the heavens /and thy truth and faithfulness is above the clouds.  
Be thou exalted above heavens o God /and above all the earth in thy majesty.  
That thy dear beloved might be delivered: save with thy right-hand and help.  
God promised it by his own holiness (which thing the mean reason is my felicity) saying that I should divide unto myself Sichem /and the vale of Suchoth should I meat out.  
Galaad is mine /Manasse is mine /Ephraim is my chief strength and juda is my leader.  
Moab is my special pot /unto Idumea shall I stretch forth my shoes /upon Palestyne will I blow up trumpets.  
But who is it that leadeth me forth unto these defenced cities? who directeth me unto Idumea?  
Is it not thou (o god) which hadst repelled us and wouldst not go forth with our host?  
And tookest away our help at our most need? full vain therefore is the health and help which is hoped for /of men.  
In god therefore shall we reckon our present victory /for it is he that tredeth down our adversaries.   

¶ In this psalm is contained the vengeance of god against the pursuers of his word /and thanks be given him for our deliverance & their confusion.  
O god my glory /dissemble not.  
For the mouth of the ungodly /and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me /and with a lying tongue they speak against me.  
They cirumvent me with tale● forged of odious malice /and lay against me with out a cause.  
For my entire love /they were clean against me /and that even while I prayed for them  
Thus they requyted me hurt for my good doing /and hatred for my love.  
Set some cruel tyrant upon him to be his master /and set his enemy at his right hand.  
When he is presented in judgement let him be condemned /and let his own defence make his crime more grievous.  
Let his time be short /and another ready to take his office.  
Let his children be soucourlesse and his wife destitute all help.  
Let his children be runagates /beggars /seeking their meat in their hard exile.  
Let the extortioner lay hand upon all his goodis/ & his enemy pluk away his labours.  
Let there be noon to pity him nor noon to favour his fatherless.  
Let death make an end of his ysswe /so that in the next generation is name be clean extinct.  
But as for the great sins of his father /let them be by tale told before the lord /and let not the sins of his mother be forgotten.  
Let them be ever present before the lord /but as for the memorial of siche men /let it be plucked clean out of the earth.  
Because he never remembered to do mercy /but persecuted the deiecte man /ready to kill the poor sorrowful in heart.  
He loved execrable cursing /let it therefore fall upon himself: he never sought favour /let it therefore be far from him.  
He wrapped himself in execration as in his clothing /let it therefore pierce thorough him like water /and sink into his bones like oil Let it cleave upon him like his cloak wherewith he is covered /and sit to his sydis like his girdle where with he is ever girt  
Let this work chance to mine enemies from the lord /and upon them that perniciously conspire my death.  
But thou lord God deal otherwise with me /for thy name's sake for by thy mercy art thou ready to deliver me.  
For I am a poor afflict abject! and my heart is wounded with in me.  
I go forth like the evening shadewe /and am taken away like the locusts.  
My knees fold under me for faintness and sorrow /and my flesh is so dried up /that there is no moistness left in me.  
I am made a reviling stock for them when they see me /they shake their headis at me.  
Help me lord my God and save me fo● thy mercyable goodness.  
That they might know thissame to be thy hand /and that thou haste done it.  
Let them curse blasphemously /so that thou beast benign and gentle unto me: let them rise against me and be confounded /but thy servant shalbe glad.  
Let my adversaries be clad with ignomyny and shame /and be covered with their own confusion as with a cloak.  
I shall as intyerlye as I can speak forth thanks unto the lord /and in the mid multitude love him. For it is he that standeth at the right-hand of the poor afflict: to deliver him from his condempners.   

¶ A prophecy of the birth of christ /and of his kingdom both here in his church /and also in heaven.  
THe lord said unto my lord sit thou on my right-hand /until I make thine enymyes thy foot stole.  
The sceptre of thy power /the lord shall send it forth from zion /that thou mightst be emperor in the mids of thine enemies.  
In the day of thy triumph /thy people shall bring forth their well willing oblations with an holy pomp: for the dew of thy nativity is sprung out of the womb of the morning.  
The Lord hath sworn /and it shall not repent him: Thou art the priest for ever aftir the rite of Melchisedek.  
The lord is present at thy right hand /which when he is angry he smiteth even the kings  
He taketh vengeance upon the gentles /and filleth all with their karions and smytethe the head of the hole world.  
In his journey shall he drink of the river /and then shall he lyftup his head.   

Praise ye the lord.  
¶ This Psalm is a praise & thanks giving.  
I Shall praise the lord with all my heart /both privately with his faithful /and also in the hole congregation.  
great are the works of the lord and greatly desyered of all that embrace them.  
His wurk is worthy laud & glory /and his rightwiseness endureth for ever.  
He hath so done his woundrefull clear acts /that they be worthy to be remembered: mild and merciful is the lord.  
He giveth meat to them that fear him /remembering for ever his covenant.  
The vertw and strength of his dediss he showed unto his people /when he gave them the possessions of the gentiles.  
The works of his handis ar firm and right /fast and trwe are all his precepts.  
Confirmed into every age /as things decreed and set upon truth and equity.  
Redemption hath he sent unto his people /he hath commanded his covenant to stand for ever: holy and reverent is his name.  
The head of wisdom is the fear of the Lord /o right and hole mind which moderath her wurkis aftir him /the praise of them shall endure for ever. Halleluia.   

¶ Constancy of mind /and necessary substance never fail the good man.  
O blessed man that feareth god /and above all things delighteth in his precepts.  
Mighty is his posterity in the earth the family of the rightwise is blessed.  
Honour and riches are in the house of siche a man /and his rightwiseness abideth for ever.  
In darkness /the son and light will spring and shine upon the rightwise /he is merciful mild & just.  
pleasant and profitable is the man that hath compassion and dareth: which also way his words with judgement.  
For he abideth ever one unmoved: the memorial of the just endurethe ever.  
At evil tidings he feareth not /for farm and fast is his heart by faith in the lord.  
So constant is his heart that he dreadeth not /until he see the fall of his enemies.  
He divideth and giveth unto the poor /his justice endureth for ever his victorious power shalbe gloriously exalted.  
Which things al /the ungodly beholding /he shall frete himself with invye /grin and whet his teeth /and be consumed: and the desire of the ungodly shalbe frustrate. Halleluia.

Who is to be compared unto the Lord our God? which hath se●eled himself to dwell so high /and yet so humbleth himself agene /that he will behold what so ever is in heaven and earth.  
He lifted up the needy one out of the dust: and erectith the poor out of the dunghill.  
To set him among the rulers /even among the Princes of his people.  
He maketh the barayn /to be a glad mother of the household /at home among her children. Praise ye the Lord.

Thou wast (o god) reverent holy unto juda /and unto Israel their mighty emperor.  
Which when the sea had espied /she did flee▪ and jordane gave back The mountains skipped like rams /and the little hill tops like lombes.  
What ailed thee (o sea) to flee? & thou jordan why wentest thoubak? What made ye /you mountains to leap like wethers? and ye hills to play like lombes?  
At the presence of the lord thou tremblest o earth /especially at the presence of the god of jacob. Which tournethe the stone into a pond of water /and the stonney rock into a plentuouse springe.

Let not the gentles say: where now (I beseech you) is their God?  
When our god is he that is in heaven/ & disposeth all things according to his godly will But these man's images are but silver & gold /even the wurkis of men's handis.  
They have mouths & speak not /they have eyes and see not.  
Ears have they and hear not /noses and smell not.  
Hands have they and handle not /feet and go not /nor temper they no voice with their throat.  
Like are they unto those /that make them: & unto those that trust in them. But thou o Israel /trust in the lord: for it is he that is thy helper & defender O my family of Aaron trust ye in the Lord: for he is your helper and defender.

He might bless them that fere the lord /both young and old.  
The Lord might increase /both you and your chyldean.  
For ye are the holy faithful of the lord /which hath made heaven and earth  
all the whole heavens are the lords but the earth hath he given to the children of men.  
The dead loaf the not o Lord: nor noon of them that be go away forgotten.

But when I called upon the name of the Lord /saying /Lord I pray the deliver my soul.  
(For mild and just is the Lord /and our merciful god.  
The Lord is the keeper of the poor humble /and I was destitute all help) then he saved me.  
Turn the therefore (my soul) into thy rest /for the lord hath given the thy asking.  
Thou verely-hast delivered my soul from death: mine eyes from teris /and my feet from slydinge. That I might walk right before the Lord /among the living.   

¶ The Psal. following is all one in number with the former /with the Hebrews.  
Truth it was that I said /when I spoke in my vehement affliction /when I said in my trance: Every man is a liar.  
But what shall I requite the Lord for all his benefits given me? For I received that wholesome cup /when I had called upon the name of the Lord.  
Wherefore I shall pay my vows unto the Lord /before all his people: right precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful.  
I thank the Lord: that thou hast broken the bondis of me thy servant /of me thy servant and the child of thy hand maiden.  
Wherefore I slay unto the offerance of praise /and I magnify thy name o Lord.

Out of my grievous distress called I upon the lord/ & the Lord heard me /and did set me at liberty.  
The Lord is with me /I shall not fere what soever man /may do to me.  
The lord is my helper /wherefore I set naught by my enemies.  
Beter is it to trust in the Lord /then in princes.  
Let all nations stand about me /and yet in the name of the Lord shall I destroy them.  
Let them compass & close me in: and yet in the lords name shall I slay them.  
Let them i'll about me like bees /and enforce to consume me like fire the thorns /and yet in the name of the lord shall I vaynquesshe them.  
Let them cast me down with never so great violence: and yet the lord will help me.  
The strength and substance of the dyte of my song is the lord: & he himself is my health.  
The noise of mirth and health is in the tabernacles of the just: for the right-hand of the lord hath gotten the victory.  
The most high right hand of the lord /the righthonde of the lord obtaineth the triumph.  
O /would god I might not die /but live: that I might magnify the works of the lord.  
Let the lord correk and chastise me /but not deliver me to death.

For this is the gate of the lord: the rightwise go in thorough it.

The stone which the builders rejected: is couched to close up the top of the corner pinnacle.

Save us lord we beseech thee /let all things now prospero /lord we pray the.  
O blessed that he is /which is come in the name of the Lord /we may well reckon you happy & wyssh you good luck which are in the house of the lord.

Thou art my god /and I thank thee /thou art my god /whom I extol.  
Thank ye the lord for his everlasting goodness and mercy.

¶ These. 15. Psal. following have one title /called all the songs of the degrees /that is /of them that increase and ascend in goodness and vertwe.  
¶ The Argument.  
¶ A prayer against await layers /and evil tongues.  
Unto the Lord /when I am in trouble do I cry /and he soucurth me.  
Lord deliver my soul from lying lips /and from a desaytful tongue.  
What hast thou or what givest thou /o fraudulent tongue?  
Verily even strong and sharp arrows /and also hot burning coals.  
Ah lass for that my banishment is prolonged /I devil in exile among the fierce barbarous.  
It irketh my soul to dwell among these haters of peace.  
For while I thought upon & studied for peace /they bent themselves to battle.   

¶ th'argument  
¶ Help is of the lord  
I Liftup my eyes unto the hills /from whence help is brought me.  
My help cometh from the lord /which hath made heaven and earth Thy keeper will not suffer thy foot once to slide /thy keeper sleepeth not The keeper of Israel neither roughteth not in his sleep /nor yet slomberth not.  
For the lord is thy keeper /thy shadow /even he that ledethe the by thy righthonde.  
So that be day the sun burn the not /nor yet the moan be night  
The lord keepeth the from all evil he keepeth even thy soul.  
The Lord keepeth thy outgoing and thy incoming /from now and ever.   

¶ Thanks giving for the prosperous state of the church  
I rejoiced to hear those men /which said unto me: let us go unto the house of the lord  
Let our feet stand in thy gates o jerusalem.  
O jerusalem /which art builded as goodly as any other noble cite /whose citizens agreed all in one. Into the which cite the trybs ascend /even the trybs of the lord /the church of Israel to aknowlege praise unto the name of the Lord.  
For there is the seat of judgement even the seat royal of the house of David.  
Pray ye for the peace of jerusalem /happy be they that love her.  
All things might be false which thou possedest: plenteousness be in thy houses.  
For my brethren and kinsfolks sakis /I shall pray for thy health. For the house of the Lord our God /I shall endevower to do the good.   

¶ An expectation for the help of God.  
Unto thee /lift I up my eyes /o inhabitor of the heavens.  
For like as the servants eyes wait at the handis of their masters /and as the eyes of maidens at the handis of their mistress /so depend our eyes upon the Lord our God until he hath mercy upon us.  
Have mercy on us lord have mercy upon us /for we are filled with miche contempt.  
Our soul is over mich filled with the obprobriouse scorns of the proud /and with the revilings of the disdainful.   

Thanks for thavoiding of peril  
Except the lord had stood of our side /tell it forth (I pray thee) Israel  
Except the lord had stood of our side /when men rose against us: They had now swallowed us up quyk: when their wrath was kindled against us /they had ere now overwhelmed us like waters /like a swift strong stream they had taken us away.  
Even now had the waters of the proud pierced unto our soul.  
Thanked be the lord which hath not cast us a proye into their teeth.  
Our life is escaped like the little bride out of the fowler's snare /for the snare is broken and we be escaped.  
Our help consisteth in the name of the lord /which hath made heaven and earth.   

¶ The consolation of the faithful of the rightwiseness of god.  
THey that trust unto the lord are like the mount zion which moveth not from his place /but sitteth fast for ever As jerusalem is closed rowndaboute with mountains /even so doth the Lord close about his people now and ever.  
Jest the tyrannous power of the ungodly press upon the lot of the just /and make the just to extend their handis unto sin  
Be thou benign and gentle (o lord) unto good men /which are upright in heart.  
But those men which are averted unto their own malice /the lord leadeth among the wyked. When Israel shall have peace & health   

¶ Thanks for deliverance out of anxte or captivity.  
WHen the Lord returned the captivity of zion: we were restored unto rest.  
Then were our mouths filled with laughter /and our tongues with joy.  
Then was it reported even among the gentiles /The lord hath done marvelous great acts for these men.  
And in very deed the lord wrought marvelous great things with us /which greatly delighteth us  
Thou hast turned (o lord) our captivity /no neither wise then as at the south wind the rivers increase.  
They that had sown with tears have reped with joy.  
He that sometime went his way speedily /and weeping took up his seed to cast it forth /returneth now merely and iocounde bringing home his hands full of corn.   

¶ All help and defence is of god.  
Except the Lord sustain the house /they sweet in vain that labour to hold it up & the cite also except the lord keep it /●he watch men do but wake in vain.  
It is but vain /after your rest to arise early and eat your breed in sweat and sorrow: except he give sleep to his dear beloved.  
Lo /these are their heritage /sons /well gotten goods /and the children of the lord.  
O blessed man that he is /which hath filled his quiver with these arrows: for they shall not be ashamed to speak to their enemy even in the open gates.   

What goodness followeth fearers of God.  
O blessed men all that worship the lord/ & walk in his For so shalt thou en (ways joy the labours of thy nouns hands /oh how blessed & happy art thou Thy wife is like a fruitful vine that cleaveth unto thy house side /and thy children stand in order a bout thy table /as men are wont orderly to set their young olive trees.  
Behold thus is that man blessed /which worshipith the lord. Thus shall the lord from zion enrich thee /that thou mightst see jerusalem to prosper all thy life.  
And that thou moughtst also see thy childer's' children /and peace in Israel.   

¶ Israelis ever troubled /and ever delivered.  
OFten times have they foughten against me /even fro my youth: let Israel (I pray you) tell it.  
Often time have they foughten against me /even fro my youth /but yet did they not overcome me.  
They drove their plough upon my back at their pleasure/ & did cutforth their vorows.  
But the rightwise Lord did cut insunder their trayses /that all that hate zion /should go home again with shame and confusion.  
They be made like sedge to thek houses /which is withered ere the syithe be ready.  
Of the which /neither the mower fill his hand /nor yet the gatherer his bosom with the handfuls.  
Where the goers fore by bid them not once god speed /saying /the lord send you increase /the name of the Lord be your fortherance.   

¶ A fervent prayer for the remission of sins.  
OWte of the botomlesse pit of my heavy trouble I call unto thee /o Lord: Lord hear my prayer.  
Let thy ears be atttent unto the voice of my complaint.  
For if thou Lord /imputest man's sons unto them /Lord who shall not fall?  
But thou art merciful and easy to entreat: that we might reverence and fear the.  
The Lord is my hope unto whom my soul cleaveth /and I believe his word.  
My soul is set upon the lord /from the one morning watch unto the t'other  
Let Israel trust unto the Lord /for with the Lord is there both infinite mercy and plentuouse redemption.  
For it is he that redemeth Israel from all their sins.   

The faithful studieth to be meek  
Lord I exalt not my heart /neither extol I my eyes I take not upon me great & stout things to be wondered at. But I repress and refrain my mind as the weaned child towerd his mother: I am a weanlinge in very deed.  
But Israel trusteth in the Lord from now and ever.   

¶ A deliberation of thedifying of the temple.  
Lord /remember David /with all his afflictions.  
How he hath sworn and vowed unto the Lord God of jacob.  
Saying /I will not enter into the tabernacle of my house /neither climb up into my bed:  
I will not sleep with my eyes /neither yet once slumber with my eye liddis:  
Until I prepare a place for the lord /even a tabernacle for the mighty God of jacob.  
This place lo /we have herd in Ephrata /we have found it in the bushy field.  
Let us therefore enter into his tabernacles /let us fall down before his foot stole.  
Arise Lord unto thy mansion /thou & the ark of thy strength.  
Let thy peasen do on rightwiseness /and thy faithful rejoice.  
For thy servant davids sake /differre not the coming of thy anointed For the Lord hath made a faithful oath unto David himself /which he will not change /Of the seed of thy belly shall I set one in thy seat royal.  
If thy children will keep my covenant & my ordinances which I shall teach them /then shall the sons of them sit in thy seat royal from age to age.  
For the Lord hath chosen zion /he hath chosen her for his habitation This quiet place shalbe my perpetual rest /here will I dwell /for she delyghteth me.  
I will augment her yearly fruits and satisfy her poor men with food enough.  
I shall cloth her peasen with health /and her faithful shall rejoice incessauntly.  
There shall I first set forth the flouresshing empire of David /and prepare the lantern for my anointed.  
His enemies shall I cloth with confusion: but upon him shall I set his flouresshing corone.   

¶ An exhortation unto charity.  
Behold how honest & ioyouse a thing it is /brethren to dwell together being of one mind.  
It is like that precious ointment powered upon the head and beard of Aaron /running down unto the skirts of his vesture.  
It is like the dew of the hill of Hermon which descendeth into the hills of zion.  
For there hath the Lord promised abundance /and long life to continue.   

An exhortation to watch & pray  
Attend ye all /o servants of the Lord which stand be night in the house of the Lord /and praise the Lord.  
life up your hands before that secret holy place /and love ye the Lord.  
And the Lord shall enrich you from zion /which hath made heaven and earth. Halleluia.  
love ye o servants of the lord /love ye the name of the Lord.  
Which minister in the house of the Lord /and in the outward court of the temple of our God.  
Praise the Lord /for the Lord is good: sing ye unto his name /for it is pleasant.  
For the Lord hath chosen him jacob: and Israel to be his own special people.  
For I know that great is the Lord/ & our Lord is above all the gods What soever it pleased the Lord /he hath made it in heaven & earth /both in the sea & in all deep places He bringeth the clouds from the coostis of the earth /he turneth lightenings into rain /and bringeth forth the winds from their secret place.  
Which smote the first begotten of Egypt /both of man and beast.  
He sent miracles and woundres into the mids of thee /oh Egypt: he wrought them upon Pharaoh and all his servants.  
Which smote the mighty nations /and killed strong kings.  
As Sihon the king of Thamorrhes /Og king of Basan /and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.  
And gave up their land into the possession /and heritage unto Israel his people.  
Lord thy name is everlasting /Lord thy memorial stretcheth unto every posterity.  
For it is the Lord that avengeth his people /and is gracious unto his servants.  
The images of the gentles are but silver and gold /even the work of men's handis.  
They have mouths /but they speak not: and eyes /but they see not: ears have they and hear not /and nostrel also /but yet cometh their no breath out of their mouths.  
They be like unto them that make them /and all that trust in them. But thou /o house of Israel /love thou the Lord /oh house of Aaron preise the Lord.  
O house of Levi praise the Lord /ye that worship the Lord /love the Lord.  
The Lord which dwelleth in jerusalem /be praised in zion.  
Praise ye the Lord.   

¶ An open thanks giving.  
Give ye thanks unto the Lord /for he is good /and his mercy endurethe for ever.  
give ye thanks unto the God of all God's /for his mercy endureth for ever.  
give thanks unto the Lord of Lordis /for his mercy endureth for ever.  
Which alone doth great woundres /for his mercy endureth for ever.  
Which hath made the heavens with high wisdom /for his. etc.  
Which hath laid open the earth a 'bove the waters /for his merchant etc. Which hath made the great lightis: for his mercy. etc.

¶ The lamentation of the captives in Babylon with a thretening of the vengeance of god.  
WE dwelled at the flowds of Babylon /and wept when we remembered zion.  
There had we hanged up our haps on the sallow treis.  
And when they that held us captive required of us our songs and thankful psalms /saying /sing us of your songs of zion: we answered.  
How should we sing the songs of the Lord in a strange land?  
Not with standing yet sooner shall I forget my noun right hand /then jerusalem should fall fro my mind.  
Let my tongue lose her use /if I forget thee /let it cleave to my chawnes if I prefer not jerusalem in my mirth.  
But Lord remember the Idumes how they dealt with us in that miserable calamity of jerusalem /how they said /Subvert it /and turn it up sodowne.  
O Babylon /thou shalt come unto as miserable a destruction thyself: happy shall he be that shall requite the worthily /serving the as thou servedst us.  
O happy man which shall take up thy infantis /and cast them against the stones.   

¶ Tgankis for our daily benefits  
I Shall thank the with all my heart/ & preise the even among the highest.  
I shall faldowne prostrate in thy holy temple /and magnify thy name /both thy mercy and truth /for thy word thou magnifyest according to thy name.  
When I call upon thee /thou answerest /and enrichest my soul with thy strength.  
all the kings of the earth /when they shall hear the words of thy mouth /they shall magnify thee /O lord.  
And shall sing aftir the ordinance of the lord /because the right great is the majesty of the lord.  
For the lord /although he be excellent high /yet he seith low things /and knoweth high things a far.  
If I walk in the mids of tribulation /thou refresshest me /thou sendest thy power into the furious woodness of my enemies /and savest me with thy right hand.  
The lord maketh me sure on every side /lord thy goodness is everlasting /the works therefore of thy hondis suffer thou not to fall.   

¶ The clear goodness of the divine wisdom is described /with a prayer against the ungodly.  
Lord /thou enserchest me deeply/ & ensiest me perfectly Thou know'st how I must sit down /and how I shall rise agene /thou providest me my living a far of.  
My journey and my sitting down thou disposest /and seist all my ways.  
ye there is not one so little a word upon my tongue /but lo Lord thou /thou knowist it before.  
Before & aftir thou hast fasshioned me/ & hast put to thy noun hand And that with a craft more marvelous and high than I can know or comprehend.  
Whother should I flee from thy spirit? or from thy presence /whother may I avoid?  
If I should climb into heaven /there thou art: if I should rundowne to hell /lo there art thou not absent If I should take me the wings of the morning /and dwell in the farthest costs of the sea.  
Even there yet is thy hand ready to take me/ & thy right-hand hath m● yet when I thus decree with my sylf peradventure darkness may hide me /so that the night may be my light Now /neither is the darkness so thick but that thou seist thorough them /ye the night is as bright to thee /as is the light /night and day to the be both one.  
For it is thou that possedest my reins /thou involuedst me in my mother's womb,  
I thank thee /for I am marvelously made /marvelous are thy works /as my mind vehemently acknowledgeth.  
My bones are not yet hid from thee /in how secret soever a place I am made /even with in the secrets of the ground.  
Thy eyes ensee my fawtes /and in they book are their all written /my days were fasshioned /when as yet there was not one of them.  
O God /how precious are thy friends unto me? how great is the number of the chief of them: When I go about to tell them /the exceed the sands of the sea: I am a wake yet /and present with the O god /wilt thou not slay these sinners /that the wicked me● might once avoid from thee?  
Which so boldly rebel agens● thee: even thy enemies which set up their bristles so temerariously against the.  
Do I not hate them that hate th● o Lord/ & am hangry with th● adversaries?  
I hate them verily and that exceedingly /for that now they are also be come my enemies to.  
Try me o god/ & search my heart /prove me & know my thoughts And if thou seist me in any laborious wyked way /reduce & turn me into the way everlasting   

¶ A prayer for the delyurance from the evil sayers and a wait layers /threatening a sharp end unto the ungodly and ioyouse success unto the good.  
deliver me lord from the wicked man /keep me from the cruel man.  
Which conceive shrewed counsels in their hearts /and steer up strife continually.  
They whet their tongues like serpents: they nourish edders venon with in their lips. 
* so they'd.  Sela.  
Preserve me lord /from the hands of the ungodly /save me from the cruel tyrants whose mind is to supplant my steapes  
For the proud have hidden privily a snare for me /they have bend for me a net: & which way so ever my way lieth /they have laid me stumbling blokes. 
* So they have . Sela. Wherefore I say unto the Lord /thou art my God /lord hear the voice of my prayer.  
Lerde be thou my mighty salvation /kover my head in time of battle Lean thou not o lord unto the desyers of the ongodly /finissh not his enforcements /jest he be to prowed. 
* Not do not  Sela  
Let their own laborious devices be whelmed on their own hendis /which cirumvent me.  
Let burning coals fall upon them /let them be cast into the fire and pit /so that they may not rise.  
A man full of words let him not stand fast upon the earth /a violent & evil man let them be honted unto death For I know surely that the Lord avengeth the poor afflict: and delivereth the destitute all help. But yet shall the rightwise magnify thy name /and the just shall walk in thy presence.   

¶ David praith that his mouth be kept /that he chanceth not into ill company /neither fall not into the handis of the wicked.  
Lord /the do I call upon: haast the unto me /attend unto my noise crying unto the. Let my prayer be encense ascending before thee/ & thelevation of my handis be the evening sacrifice.  
Set a keeper o lord unto my mouth/ & watchers at the gate of my lips.  
Suffer not my heart to slide unto any evil thing /so that I follow not the counsel either of the ungodly /or of any sinful men /jest I be partaker of their pleasant proyes.  
Let the just man beaten me /and so shall it be accept unto me /let him correk me /und so shall he anoint my head /and not hurt it /but yet for the evil deadis of these men shall I pray.  
Their judges stumbled at the stone /but yet gave they heed to my words /for they were right glad to them Our bones lie scattered before the grave: not nother wise than while one kutteth & diggeth up the ground But upon the o lord my god /are my eyes set /in the do I trust /draw thou not out my soul. Preserve me from the snare which they have bend for me /and from the stumbling stones of these mischevouse doers.  
Let the ungodly fall into their own nets /whiles I in the mean time pass over them.   

¶ A prae of one in distress.  
Unto the Lord do I cry full loud: unto the Lord I make my supplication. I powerforth my complaint before him /and my trouble before him do I lay forth: while my mind is almost in dispayer.  
For unto the is my way well known /but yet in this way where in I go they have set privy snares for me.  
Consider at my right hand and behold /and thou shalt not find one that will know me /all refugy is taken fro me /neither is there any that helpeth to save my life.  
Unto the therefore do I cry o lord /and I say /thou art my hope and my portion in the land of the living.  
Attend unto my prayer for I am very poor and feeble /deliver me fro my pursuers /for they prevail against me.  
Lede my soul forth of preson that I might magnify thy name /which thing if thou grantest me /the just shall associate themselves with me.   

¶ A prayer of one in distress.  
Lord hear my prayer /understand my desire for thy truth and rightwiseness.  
But yet enter not into judgement with thy servant /for thou being thaccuser /no man mortal is absolved For the enemy is present at my life /to trede it under his feet /and to say me in the perpetual darkness of the deadmen.  
Wherefore my mind with in me is uncertain /and my heart with in me despaireth.  
yet remember I the old time /I forget not all thy works /and the works of thy handis I call unto mind.  
I stretch forth my handis unto thee /my soul crieth unto the from the theirsty land. Sela. so it doth  
Haste the Lord to help me /for my sprite faileth me /hide not thy cheer fro me /jest I be like men going down into their graves.  
Show me swiftly thy merciable goodness /for in the do I trust /show me in what way I may go /for unto that I direct my mind deliver me Lord /fro my enemies /for unto the do I i'll.  
teach me to work thy pleasure /for thou art my God.  
Thy benign spirit might led me forth into the land of innocency.  
Refresh me Lord for thy name's sake /and for thy rightwiseness led my soul out of distress.  
Also /for thy mercies sake scatter my enemies /and destroy all that molest my soul /for I am thy servant.   

¶ Thanks giving /and a prayer for the deliverance from our enemies.  
Thanks be unto the Lord my refugy: which instructeth my hands unto battle and my fingers to fight.  
My expectation /my bolwerck /my castle /my redeemer /my shield /in whom I trust /which governeth my subject people.  
Lord what is man that thou acknowlegest him? what is man mortal that thou thus regardest him? Man is like a thing of nought /his days pass over like a shadewe. Lord /when thou bowest down thy heavens to descend thou touchest the hills /and they smoke. When thou lightenest /thou scaterest them /thou shotest forth thy dartis and destroy'st them.  
Put down therefore thy hand from above /deliver & take me up from these vehement great waters /even from the violence of the ungodly Whose mouths speak lies /and their right hand is full of deceait. That I might sing unto thee /o God /a new song: that I might sing unto the with a ten stringed lute.  
Which enrichest kings with health: which hast delivered David thy servant from the dent of sword.  
deliver me from the hand of aleaunts: whose mouth speak vanites /and their right-hand full of deceait.  
That our sons /from their youth might grow like plants /and our daughters might shine like the polisshed pilers in the temple Let our garners & store houses be full & well stored with all things: and our flockis in our villages increase into thousandys and hundred thousandts.  
Let our oxen be strong to labour /let there be no ruin /no breach /no complaint crying out in our streatis.  
O happy people whose goodis stand in this state /O happy people unto whom the lord is their god   

¶ God is praised for his omnipotency /goodness /providence/ & justice  
I Shall extol thee /o god my king: I shall praise thy name for ever.  
At all time shall I magnify thee/ & praise thy name for ever & ever great is the Lord /and above all praise /neither may his greatness be searched.  
One posterity shall show thy works to another: and prechforth thy power.  
I shall speak forth /thy honour /they clear fame /thy magnifycence /and thy acts never to be forgotten. The memorial of thy infinite mercy shall be preached/ & the form of thy justification shalbe sungen. Mild & mercifulis the Lord /slow unto wrath & ready to forgive The lord is benign to all men /his mercy shineth in all his works. Wherefore /all thy works /o lord /preach thee/ & thy faithful thank the They preach the glory of thy kingdom /ad declare thy power.  
That they might tell forth thy power /thy clearness /and thy glorious kingdom unto other men. Thy kingdom is through out all words thy empery endureth through all ages.  
The lord holdeth up all that should fall: & lifteth up again them that be down All eyes wait upon thee/ & thou givest them their meat in their time  
Thou openest thy hand/ & fillest every beast plenteously.  
Rightwise is the lord in all his ways: and holy in all his works The lord is present with all that call upon him /so long as they call on him of faith.  
He acomplessheth the desire of them that reverently fear him: he heareth their crying /and helpeth them The lord defendeth all the love him but all the ungodly he scatereth  
My mouth might speak his praise /and every thing living might celebrated his holy name for ever and aye. Alleluia.   

¶ Only god is to be trusted unto  
loaf the lord /my soul.  
While I live shall I love the lord: I shall sing unto my god while I shall have my being. Trust not unto princes /nor unto any other man /in whom there is no For when the breath goeth out (health of man /he returneth unto his earth and then are all his thoughts go O happy man whose strength is the god of jacob /whose hope is in the lord his god.  
Which hath made heaven /the earth the sea /and whatsoever is in them: which keepeth promise for ever.  
Which avengeth men violently oppressed/ & giveth meat to the hungry: happy is he that calleth unto the lord /which loseth men bound in preson.  
Onto the lord (I say) which giveth sight unto the blind/ & lifteth up men fallen: unto the lord /which loveth the just men.  
Which taketh up to him /the strangers: and defendeth the fatherless and the widow /but the way of the ungodly he damneth.  
The lord thy God /oh zion /reigneth for ever /world without end. Alleluia.   

love ye the lord /for good it is to sing unto our God: a glad and fair thing is it to love him altogether.  
For the lord restoreth jerusalem and gathereth together the dispersed people of Israel.  
He healeth the contrite in heart /and bindeth up their wounds.  
He telleth the innumerable stars and calleth them all by their name great is our lord/ & infinite is his power/ & incomprehensible is his wisdom The lord easith thafflicte/ & throith down the wyked to the earth. Sing ye in course to the lord his praise /sing to our god with harp Which coverth the sky with cloudis to prepare rain for the earth: which decketh the hills with green Which giveth our cattle (flowers their food /and even the ravens that call upon him /he feedeth.  
He delighteth not in the strength of horsemen /neither in the armed legs of soldiers.  
But he rejoiceth in them the reverence him /and trust unto his mercy.   

PRaise thou the lord o jerusalem: love thy god /oh zion Which strengtheneth the bars of thy gatis /and giveth thy citizens prosperous success.  
He setteth peace with in thy coostes: and filleth the with the flower Which when he sendeth (of wheat his commandment into the earth /full swiftly runneth his word.  
He giveth the snow like wool/ & scatereth the frosty rhyme like ashes He casteth forth hisyise lyk smooth shivers /who may abide his cold? Agene /at his commandment /all is melted away /he turneth his wind /and anon the rivers run  
He expowneth his word to jacob: his pleasures and godly acts unto Israel.  
yea/ & that even so /as he did not to all the gentiles /which know not his pleasures. Alleluia.   

¶ Here are all creatures exhorted to praise god  
love ye the lord from heaven praise him ye that are above. Praise him all his angels /love him all his host.  
Praise him sun and moan /love him all stars so bright.  
Praise him most excellent heavens & waters which are under the heavens Praise ye the name of the lord /for at his commandment all things are created. Which he hath ordained to endure for ever /he hath given them a law which shall not be broken. Praise ye the lord also from the earth /whalis and all depenesses

For the lord is well pleased with his people /which restoreth the afflict unto health.  
Let his faithful rejoice gloriously let them sing within their chambers The extollinge of god be in their mouths /and in their handis two edged swerdis.  
To be avenged of the gentiles /and to correcke the people.  
And that they may bind kings with chains /and fetter the rulers of them with gives.  
To be avenged of them /as it is written: This glory might come upon all the faithful of the lord. Alleluia.  
Praise ye the lord in his secret holy place /love him for his almighty power

Praise him with loud cymbals: love him with soft virginals.  
Whatsoever thing is endued with breath: let it praise the lord Alleluia. Praise ye the lord.
