THE BOOKE OF PSALMES


1 Vnto the end, for them, that shal be changed, testimonie to Asaph, a Psalme.
2 Thou that rulest Israel, attend: that conductest Ioseph as a sheepe. Which sittest vpon the cherubs, be manifest
3 before Ephraim, Beniamin, and Manasses. Raise vp thy might, and come, to saue vs.
4 O God conuert vs: and shew thy face, & we shal be saued.
5 O Lord the God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie vpon the prayer of thy seruant?
6 Thou wilt feede vs with the bread of teares: and giue vs drinke with teares in mesure.
7 Thou hast made vs to be a contradiction to our neighboures and our enemies haue scorned vs.
8 O God of hosts conuert vs: and shew thy face, and we shal be saued.
9 Thou didst transport the vineyeard out of Ægypt: thou didst cast out the Gentiles, and plantedst it.
10 Thou wast the guide of the way in the sight therof: thou didst plant the rootes therof, and it filled the earth.
11 The shadow of it couered the mountanes: and the bowghes of it the ceders of God.
12 It extended her branches euen to the sea; and her boughes vnto the riuer.
13 Why hast thou destroyed the hedge therof: and al that passe by the way doe plucke it.
14 The boare of the wood hath destroyed it: and the singular wilde beest hath eaten it.
15 O God of hoasts returne: regard from heauen, and see, and visite this vineyeard.
16 And perfite it, which thy right hand hath planted: and vpon the sonne of man whom thou hast confirmed to thee.
17 Thinges burnt with fyre, and digged doune at the increpation of thy countenance shal perish.
18 Let thy hand be vpon the man of thy right hand: and vpon the sonne of man, whom thou hast confirmed to thee.
19 And we depart not from thee, thou wilt quicken, vs: and we wil inuocate thy name.
20 O Lord the God of hoastes conuert vs: and shew thy face, and we shal be saued.
