The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

For thou art the glory of their strength, and by thy fauour our hornes shall be exalted.

For our shield apperteineth to the Lord, and our King to the holy one of Israel.

Thou spakest then in a vision vnto thine Holy one, and saydest, I haue layde helpe vpon one that is mightie: I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

I haue found Dauid my seruant: with mine holy oyle haue I anoynted him.

Therefore mine hande shall be established with him, and mine arme shall strengthen him.

The enemie shall not oppresse him, neither shall the wicked hurt him.

But I will destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

My trueth also and my mercie shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horne be exalted.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the floods.

He shall cry vnto mee, Thou art my Father, my God and the rocke of my saluation.

Also I wil make him my first borne, higher then the Kings of the earth.

My mercie will I keepe for him for euermore, and my couenant shall stande fast with him.

His seede also will I make to endure for euer, and his throne as the dayes of heauen.

But if his children forsake my Lawe, and walke not in my iudgements:

If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commandements:

Then will I visite their transgression with the rod, and their iniquitie with strokes.

Yet my louing kindnesse will I not take from him, neither will I falsifie my trueth.

My couenant wil I not breake, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

I haue sworne once by mine holines, that I will not fayle Dauid, saying,

His seede shall endure for euer, and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me.

He shalbe established for euermore as the moone, and as a faythfull witnes in the heauen. Selah.

But thou hast reiected and abhorred, thou hast bene angry with thine Anoynted.

Thou hast broken the couenant of thy seruant, and profaned his crowne, casting it on the ground.

Thou hast broken downe all his walles: thou hast layd his fortresses in ruine.

All that goe by the way, spoyle him: he is a rebuke vnto his neighbours.

Thou hast set vp the right hand of his enemies, and made all his aduersaries to reioyce.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sworde, and hast not made him to stand in the battell.

Thou hast caused his dignitie to decay, and cast his throne to the ground.

The dayes of his youth hast thou shortned, and couered him with shame. Selah.

Lord, howe long wilt thou hide thy selfe, for euer? shall thy wrath burne like fire?

Remember of what time I am: wherefore shouldest thou create in vaine all the children of men?

What man liueth, and shall not see death? shall hee deliuer his soule from the hande of the graue? Selah.

Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest vnto Dauid in thy trueth?

Remember, O Lord, the rebuke of thy seruants, which I beare in my bosome of all the mightie people.

For thine enemies haue reproched thee, O Lord, because they haue reproched the footesteps of thine Anointed.

Praised be the Lord for euermore. So be it, euen so be it.

A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.

Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.

Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.

For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse:

In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.

For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.

The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.

Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.

Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.

Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.

Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.

Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.

Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.

And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.

Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie.

I will say vnto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust.

Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.

Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:

Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone day.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee.

Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked.

For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.

There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.

For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes.

They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.

Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete.

Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name.

He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.

With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.

A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing vnto thy Name, O most High,

To declare thy louing kindenesse in the morning, and thy trueth in the night,

Vpon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the viole with the song vpon the harpe.

For thou, Lord, hast made mee glad by thy workes, and I wil reioyce in the workes of thine handes.

O Lord, how glorious are thy workes! and thy thoughtes are very deepe.

An vnwise man knoweth it not, and a foole doeth not vnderstand this,

(When the wicked growe as the grasse, and all the workers of wickednesse doe flourish) that they shall be destroyed for euer.

But thou, O Lord, art most High for euermore.

For loe, thine enemies, O Lord: for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquitie shall be destroyed.

But thou shalt exalt mine horne, like the vnicornes, and I shalbe anoynted with fresh oyle.

Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my wish against the wicked, that rise vp against me.

The righteous shall flourish like a palme tree, and shall grow like a Cedar in Lebanon.

Such as bee planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courtes of our God.

They shall still bring foorth fruite in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing,

To declare that the Lord my rocke is righteous, and that none iniquitie is in him.

The Lord reigneth, and is clothed with maiestie: the Lord is clothed, and girded with power: the world also shall be established, that it cannot be mooued.

Thy throne is established of olde: thou art from euerlasting.

The floodes haue lifted vp, O Lord: the floodes haue lifted vp their voyce: the floods lift vp their waues.

The waues of ye sea are marueilous through the noyse of many waters, yet the Lord on High is more mightie.

Thy testimonies are very sure: holinesse becommeth thine House, O Lord, for euer.

O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.

Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.

Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.

They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.

They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.

Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.

Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?

Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?

The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
