Any faithful devout person meditating God's benefits, 7. examineth his conscience, that nothing be in his soul, that may offend God. Who is always ready to forgive: 11. and therefore he still reneweth his purpose to serve God sincerely, 15. particularly remembering the delivery of Israel from Egypt.Anie faithful deuout perſon meditating Gods benefites, 7. examineth his cõſcience, that nothing be in his ſoule, that may offend God. Who is alwayes readie to forgeue: 11. and therfore he ſtil reneweth his purpoſe to ſerue God ſincerly, 15. particularly remembring the deliuerie of Iſrael from Ægypt.✦
Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm to Asaph.Vnto the end, for a Idithun, a pſalme b to Aſaph.In finem, pro Idithun. Psalmus Asaph.
2With my voice I have cried to our Lord: with my voice to God, and he intendit: waited on: nursed; gave heed: hearkened to me.With c my voice I haue cried to our Lord: with my voice to God d and he attended to me.Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi ; voce mea ad Deum, et intendit mihi.
3In the day of my tribulation I sought God, with my hands in the night before him: and I was not deceived.In the day of my tribulation I ſought God, with my handes e in the night before him: and I f was not deceiued.In die tribulationis meæ Deum exquisivi ; manibus meis nocte contra eum, et non sum deceptus. Renuit consolari anima mea ;
4My soul refused to be comforted, I was mindful of God, and was delighted, and was exercised: and my spirit fainted.My g ſoule refuſed to be comforted, I h was mindeful of God, and was delighted, and was exerciſed: and i my ſpirite fainted.memor fui Dei, et delectatus sum, et exercitatus sum, et defecit spiritus meus.
5Mine eyes anticipaverunt: hindered: stopped; forestalled: went before the watches: I was troubled, and spake not.Myne eies k preuented the watches: I was l trubled, & ſpake not.Anticipaverunt vigilias oculi mei ; turbatus sum, et non sum locutus.
6I thought upon old days: and the eternal years I had in mind.I thought vpon old daies: and the eternal yeares I had in minde.Cogitavi dies antiquos, et annos æternos in mente habui.
7And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was exercised, and I swept my spirit.And I meditated in the night with my hart, and I was exerciſed, and I m ſwept my ſpirite.Et meditatus sum nocte cum corde meo, et exercitabar, et scopebam spiritum meum.
8Why, will God reject for ever: or will he not add to be better pleased as yet?Why, n wil God reiect for euer: or wil he not adde to be better pleaſed as yet?Numquid in æternum projiciet Deus ? aut non apponet ut complacitior sit adhuc ?
9Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation unto generation?Or wil he cutte of his mercie for euer, from generation vnto generation?aut in finem misericordiam suam abscindet, a generatione in generationem ?
10Or will God forget to have mercy? or will he in his wrath keep in his mercies?Or wil God forget to haue mercie? or wil he in his wrath keepe in his mercies?aut obliviscetur misereri Deus ? aut continebit in ira sua misericordias suas ?
11And I said: Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the Highest.And I ſayde: o Now haue I begune: p this is the change of the right hand of the Higheſt.Et dixi : Nunc cœpi ; hæc mutatio dexteræ Excelsi.
12I have been mindful of the works of our Lord: because I will be mindful, from the beginning of thy marvellous works.I haue bene mindful of the workes of our Lord: becauſe I wil be mindful, from the beginning of thy meruelous workes.Memor fui operum Domini, quia memor ero ab initio mirabilium tuorum :
13And I will meditate in all thy works: and in thy adinventionibus: devisings: things devised I will be exercised.And I wil meditate in al thy workes: and in thy inuentions I wil be exerciſed.et meditabor in omnibus operibus tuis, et in adinventionibus tuis exercebor.
14O God in the holy is thy way: what God is great as our God?O God in the holie is thy way: what God is great as our God?Deus, in sancto via tua : quis deus magnus sicut Deus noster ?
15thou art the God that doest marvellous things.thou art the God that doeſt meruelous thinges.Tu es Deus qui facis mirabilia : notam fecisti in populis virtutem tuam.
16Thou hast made thy power known among peoples: thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the children of Jacob, and Joseph.Thou haſt made thy powre knowne among peoples: thou haſt with thine arme redemed thy people, the children of q Iacob, and Ioſeph.Redemisti in brachio tuo populum tuum, filios Jacob et Joseph.
17The waters saw thee O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.The waters r ſaw thee ô God, the waters ſaw thee: and they were afrayd, and the depthes were trubled.Viderunt te aquæ, Deus ; viderunt te aquæ, et timuerunt : et turbatæ sunt abyssi.
18A multitude of the sounding of waters: the clouds gave a voice. For indeed arrows do pass:A ſ multitude of the ſounding of waters: the cloudes gaue a voice. For in deede arrowes doe paſſe:Multitudo sonitus aquarum ; vocem dederunt nubes. Etenim sagittæ tuæ transeunt ;
19the voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings shined to the round world: the earth was moved and troubled.the voice of thy thunder in a wheele. Thy lightenings ſhined to the rounde world: the earth was moued and trubled.vox tonitrui tui in rota. Illuxerunt coruscationes tuæ orbi terræ ; commota est, et contremuit terra.
20Thy way in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy steps shall not be known.Thy way in the ſea, and thy pathes in many waters: and thy ſteppes ſhal not be knowne.In mari via tua, et semitæ tuæ in aquis multis, et vestigia tua non cognoscentur.
21Thou hast conducted thy people as sheep: in the hand of Moyses and Aaron.Thou haſt conducted thy people as ſheepe: t in the hand of moyſes and Aaron.Deduxisti sicut oves populum tuum, in manu Moysi et Aaron.
