I Will Give Thanks to the LORD 1
2I wyll be glad & reioyce in thee: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thy name, O thou most hyest.
3For that myne enemies are returned backwarde: are fallen and perished at thy presence.
4For that thou hast geuen iudgement in my ryght and cause: thou that iudgest right, hast sit in the throne of iudgement.
5Thou hast rebuked the Heathen, and destroyed the vngodly: thou hast abolished their name for euer and euer.
6O thou enemie thou thoughtest to bryng vs to a perpetuall desolation: and to destroy our cities, so that there shoulde remayne no memory of them.
7But God wyll sit for euer: he hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
8For he wyll iudge the world in iustice: and minister iudgement vnto the people in righteousnesse.
9God also wyll be a refuge for the oppressed: euen a refuge in tyme of trouble.
10And they that knowe thy name wyll put their trust in thee: for thou O God hast neuer fayled them that seeke thee.
11Sing psalmes vnto God abiding at Sion: declare his notable actes among the people.
12For he maketh inquisition of blood: he remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaynt of the poore.
13Haue mercy on me O God: consider the trouble whiche I suffer of them that hate me, lift me vp from the gates of death.
14That I may shewe all thy prayses within the gates of the daughter of Sion: and reioyce in thy saluation.
15The Heathen are sunke downe into the pit that they made: their owne foote is snared in the same net whiche they had layde priuily
16God is knowen by the iudgement that he hath executed: the vngodly is trapped in ye worke of his owne handes, this ought to be considered alwayes. Selah.
17The wicked shalbe turned vnto hell: and all people that forget God.
18But the poore shall not alway be forgotten:
19Aryse vp O God, let not man preuaile: let the Heathen in thy sight be iudged.
20Put them in feare O God: that the Heathen may knowe them selues to be but men. Selah. |
