THE BOOKE OF PSALMES


1 A Psalme of Canticle, in the sabbath day.
2 IT is good to confesse to our Lord; and to sing to thy name ô Highest.
3 To shewforth thy mercie in the morning: and thy truth in the night.
4 In the instrument of tenstrings, in Psalter: with Canticle, on the Harpe.
5 Because thou hast delighted me ô Lord in thy workemanship: and in the workes of thy handes I wil reioyce.
6 How are thy workes magnified ô Lord! thy cogitations are made very profounde.
7 The vnwise man wil not know; and the foule wil not vnderstand these thinges.
8 When sinners shal spring vp as grasse: and al that worke iniquitie shal appeare. That they may perish for euer:
9 but thou the Highest foreuer ô Lord.
10 Because loe thine enimies ô Lord, because loe thine enimies shal perish: and al that worke iniquitie shal be dispersed.
11 And my horne shal be exalted, as the vnicorns: and my old age in plentiful merice.
12 And mine eie hath looked vpon mine enimies: and the malignant rysing vp against me, mine ears shal heare.
13 The iust, shal florish as a palme tree: as the ceder of Libanus shal he be multiplied.
14 They that are planted in the house of our Lord, shal florish in the courtes of the house of our God.
15 As yet shal they be multiplied in plentiful old age: and they shal be wel affected,
16 that they may shewforth: That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquitie in him.
