\par }\PsalmChap{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

\VS{2}But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.

\VS{3}For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

\VS{4}The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

\VS{5}Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

\VS{6}For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.




\par }\PsalmChap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?

\VS{2}The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

\VS{3}Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.

\VS{4}But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.

\VS{5}Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,

\VS{6}Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.

\VS{7}I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.

\VS{8}Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.

\VS{9}Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.

\VS{10}Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.

\VS{11}Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.

\VS{12}Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him.




\par }\PsalmChap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?

\VS{2}Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. Selah.

\VS{3}But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.

\VS{4}I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. Selah.

\VS{5}I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.

\VS{6}I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.

\VS{7}O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

\VS{8}Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. Selah.




\par }\PsalmChap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.

\VS{2}O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? Selah.

\VS{3}For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.

\VS{4}Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. Selah.

\VS{5}Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.

\VS{6}Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.

\VS{7}Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.

\VS{8}I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.




\par }\PsalmChap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my meditation.

\VS{2}Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.

\VS{3}Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.

\VS{4}For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

\VS{5}The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.

\VS{6}Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.

\VS{7}But I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.

\VS{8}Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.

\VS{9}For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and they flatter with their tongue.

\VS{10}Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they haue rebelled against thee.

\VS{11}And let all them that trust in thee, reioyce and triumph for euer, and couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce in thee.

\VS{12}For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.




\par }\PsalmChap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth on Neginoth upon the eith tune. A Psalme of Dauid. O lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.

\VS{2}Haue mercie vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale me, for my bones are vexed.

\VS{3}My soule is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou delay?

\VS{4}Returne, O Lord: deliuer my soule: saue me for thy mercies sake.

\VS{5}For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall prayse thee?

\VS{6}I fainted in my mourning: I cause my bed euery night to swimme, and water my couch with my teares.

\VS{7}Mine eye is dimmed for despight, and sunke in because of all mine enemies.

\VS{8}Away from mee all ye workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.

\VS{9}The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receiue my prayer.

\VS{10}All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned backe, and put to shame suddenly.




\par }\PsalmChap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, and deliuer me,

\VS{2}Least he deuoure my soule like a lion, and teare it in pieces, while there is none to helpe.

\VS{3}O Lord my God, if I haue done this thing, if there be any wickednes in mine handes,

\VS{4}If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that had peace with mee, (yea I haue deliuered him that vexed me without cause)

\VS{5}Then let the enemie persecute my soule and take it: yea, let him treade my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

\VS{6}Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe against the rage of mine enemies, and awake for mee according to the iudgement that thou hast appointed.

\VS{7}So shall the Congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne on hie.

\VS{8}The Lord shall iudge the people: Iudge thou me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine innocencie, that is in mee.

\VS{9}Oh let the malice of the wicked come to an ende: but guide thou the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.

\VS{10}My defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart.

\VS{11}God iudgeth the righteous, and him that contemneth God euery day.

\VS{12}Except he turne, he hath whet his sword: he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.

\VS{13}Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me.

\VS{14}Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye.

\VS{15}Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made.

\VS{16}His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate.

\VS{17}I wil praise the Lord according to his righteousnes, and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.




\par }\PsalmChap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

\VS{2}Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

\VS{3}When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

\VS{4}What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

\VS{5}For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

\VS{6}Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

\VS{7}All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

\VS{8}The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

\VS{9}O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!




\par }\PsalmChap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.

\VS{2}I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,

\VS{3}For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.

\VS{4}For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.

\VS{5}Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.

\VS{6}O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.

\VS{7}But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.

\VS{8}For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.

\VS{9}The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.

\VS{10}And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.

\VS{11}Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.

\VS{12}For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.

\VS{13}Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,

\VS{14}That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.

\VS{15}The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.

\VS{16}The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. Higgaion. Selah.

\VS{17}The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God.

\VS{18}For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.

\VS{19}Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.

\VS{20}Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. Selah.




\par }\PsalmChap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Why standest thou farre off, O Lord, and hidest thee in due time, euen in affliction?

\VS{2}The wicked with pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the craftes that they haue imagined.

\VS{3}For the wicked hath made boast of his owne heartes desire, and the couetous blesseth himselfe: he contemneth the Lord.

\VS{4}The wicked is so proude that hee seeketh not for God: hee thinketh alwayes, There is no God.

\VS{5}His wayes alway prosper: thy iudgements are hie aboue his sight: therefore defieth he all his enemies.

\VS{6}He saith in his heart, I shall neuer be moued, nor be in danger.

\VS{7}His mouth is full of cursing and deceite and fraude: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and iniquitie.

\VS{8}He lieth in waite in the villages: in the secret places doeth hee murder the innocent: his eyes are bent against the poore.

\VS{9}He lyeth in waite secretly, euen as a lyon in his denne: he lyeth in waite to spoyle the poore: he doeth spoyle the poore, when he draweth him into his net.

\VS{10}He croucheth and boweth: therefore heaps of the poore doe fall by his might.

\VS{11}He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth away his face, and will neuer see.

\VS{12}Arise, O Lord God: lift vp thine hande: forget not the poore.

\VS{13}Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne God? he saith in his heart, Thou wilt not regard.

\VS{14}Yet thou hast seene it: for thou beholdest mischiefe and wrong, that thou mayest take it into thine handes: the poore committeth himselfe vnto thee: for thou art the helper of the fatherlesse.

\VS{15}Breake thou the arme of the wicked and malicious: searche his wickednes, and thou shalt finde none.

\VS{16}The Lord is King for euer and euer: the heathen are destroyed foorth of his land.

\VS{17}Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poore: thou preparest their heart: thou bendest thine eare to them,

\VS{18}To iudge the fatherlesse and poore, that earthly man cause to feare no more.




\par }\PsalmChap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. In the Lord put I my trust: howe say yee then to my soule, Flee to your mountaine as a birde?

\VS{2}For loe, the wicked bende their bowe, and make readie their arrowes vpon the string, that they may secretly shoote at them, which are vpright in heart.

\VS{3}For the foundations are cast downe: what hath the righteous done?

\VS{4}The Lord is in his holy palace: the Lordes throne is in the heauen: his eyes wil consider: his eye lids will try the children of men.

\VS{5}The Lord will try the righteous: but the wicked and him that loueth iniquitie, doeth his soule hate.

\VS{6}Vpon the wicked he shall raine snares, fire, and brimstone, and stormie tempest: this is the porcion of their cup.

\VS{7}For the righteous Lord loueth righteousnes: his countenance doeth beholde the iust.




\par }\PsalmChap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth upon the eight tune. A Psalme of Dauid. Helpe Lord, for there is not a godly man left: for the faithfull are fayled from among the children of men.

\VS{2}They speake deceitfully euery one with his neighbour, flattering with their lips, and speake with a double heart.

\VS{3}The Lord cut off all flattering lippes, and the tongue that speaketh proude things:

\VS{4}Which haue saide, With our tongue will we preuaile: our lippes are our owne: who is Lord ouer vs?

\VS{5}Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighes of the poore, I will vp, sayeth the Lord, and will set at libertie him, whom the wicked hath snared.

\VS{6}The wordes of the Lord are pure wordes, as the siluer, tried in a fornace of earth, fined seuen folde.

\VS{7}Thou wilt keepe them, O Lord: thou wilt preserue him from this generation for euer.

\VS{8}The wicked walke on euery side: when they are exalted, it is a shame for the sonnes of men.




\par }\PsalmChap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Howe long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for euer? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

\VS{2}How long shall I take counsell within my selfe, hauing wearinesse dayly in mine heart? how long shall mine enemie be exalted aboue me?

\VS{3}Beholde, and heare mee, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death:

\VS{4}Lest mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: and they that afflict me, reioyce when I slide.

\VS{5}But I trust in thy mercie: mine heart shall reioyce in thy saluation: I will sing to the Lord, because he hath delt louingly with me.




\par }\PsalmChap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The foole hath said in his heart, There is no God: they haue corrupted, and done an abominable worke: there is none that doeth good.

\VS{2}The Lord looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

\VS{3}All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

\VS{4}Doe not all the workers of iniquitie know that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread? they call not vpon the Lord.

\VS{5}There they shall be taken with feare, because God is in the generation of the iust.

\VS{6}You haue made a mocke at the counsell of the poore, because the Lord is his trust.

\VS{7}Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shall be glad.




\par }\PsalmChap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}A Psalme of Dauid. Lord, who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle? who shall rest in thine holy Mountaine?

\VS{2}He that walketh vprightly and worketh righteousnes, and speaketh the trueth in his heart.

\VS{3}He that slandereth not with his tongue, nor doeth euill to his neighbour, nor receiueth a false report against his neighbour.

\VS{4}In whose eyes a vile person is contemned, but he honoureth them that feare the Lord: he that sweareth to his owne hinderance and changeth not.

\VS{5}He that giueth not his money vnto vsurie, nor taketh reward against the innocent: hee that doeth these things, shall neuer be moued.




\par }\PsalmChap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.

\VS{2}O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,

\VS{3}But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.

\VS{4}The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.

\VS{5}The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.

\VS{6}The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.

\VS{7}I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.

\VS{8}I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.

\VS{9}Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.

\VS{10}For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.

\VS{11}Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.




\par }\PsalmChap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.

\VS{2}Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.

\VS{3}Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.

\VS{4}Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.

\VS{5}Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.

\VS{6}I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.

\VS{7}Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.

\VS{8}Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,

\VS{9}From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.

\VS{10}They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.

\VS{11}They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:

\VS{12}Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.

\VS{13}Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,

\VS{14}From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.

\VS{15}But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.




\par }\PsalmChap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength.

\VS{2}The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.

\VS{3}I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.

\VS{4}The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.

\VS{5}The sorowes of the graue haue compassed me about: the snares of death ouertooke me.

\VS{6}But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.

\VS{7}Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.

\VS{8}Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.

\VS{9}He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.

\VS{10}And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.

\VS{11}He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.

\VS{12}At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.

\VS{13}The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.

\VS{14}Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.

\VS{15}And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.

\VS{16}He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.

\VS{17}He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.

\VS{18}They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.

\VS{19}Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.

\VS{20}The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:

\VS{21}Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.

\VS{22}For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.

\VS{23}I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.

\VS{24}Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.

\VS{25}With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.

\VS{26}With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.

\VS{27}Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.

\VS{28}Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.

\VS{29}For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.

\VS{30}The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.

\VS{31}For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?

\VS{32}God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.

\VS{33}He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.

\VS{34}He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.

\VS{35}Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.

\VS{36}Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.

\VS{37}I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.

\VS{38}I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.

\VS{39}For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.

\VS{40}And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

\VS{41}They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.

\VS{42}Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.

\VS{43}Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me.

\VS{44}As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.

\VS{45}Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.

\VS{46}Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.

\VS{47}It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me.

\VS{48}O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man.

\VS{49}Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name.

\VS{50}Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.

\VS{15}He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.

\VS{16}He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.

\VS{17}Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,

\VS{18}And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.

\VS{19}They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?

\VS{20}Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?

\VS{21}Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,

\VS{22}Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.

\VS{23}Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,

\VS{24}And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.

\VS{25}Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.

\VS{26}He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.

\VS{27}Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.

\VS{30}They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,

\VS{31}When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.

\VS{32}For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.

\VS{33}Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.

\VS{34}And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.

\VS{35}And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.

\VS{36}But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.

\VS{37}For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.

\VS{38}Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.

\VS{39}For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.

\VS{40}How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?

\VS{41}Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.

\VS{42}They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,

\VS{43}Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,

\VS{44}And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.

\VS{45}Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.

\VS{46}He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.

\VS{47}He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.

\VS{48}He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.

\VS{49}Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.

\VS{50}He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,

\VS{51}And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.

\VS{52}But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke.

\VS{53}Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.

\VS{54}And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.

\VS{55}He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.

\VS{56}Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,

\VS{57}But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.

\VS{58}And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.

\VS{59}God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,

\VS{60}So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,

\VS{61}And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.

\VS{62}And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.

\VS{63}The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.

\VS{64}Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.

\VS{65}But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, and as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,

\VS{66}And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.

\VS{67}Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

\VS{68}But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.

\VS{69}And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.

\VS{70}He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.

\VS{71}Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.

\VS{72}So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.
