Psalms 68

Matthew(i) 1 To the chaunter, a Psalm and song. of Dauid. Let God aryse, so shall hys enemyes be scattered, and they that hate hym, shall flee before hym. 2 Lyke as the smoke vanysheth, so shalt thou dryue them away: and lyke as waxe melteth at the fyre so shal the vngodly perysh at the presence of God. 3 But the ryghtuous shalbe glad and reioyce before God, they shalbe mery and ioyfull. 4 Oh synge vnto God, synge prayses vnto his name: magnify hym that rydeth aboute the heauens (whose name is the Lord) & reioyce before hym. 5 He is a father of the fatherlesse, he is a defender of widdowes: euen God in his holy habytacyon. 6 He is the God that maketh men to be of one mynde in a house, and bryngeth the presoners out of captyuity in due season, but let the rennagates contynue in scarcenesse. 7 O God, when thou wenteste forth before the people, when thou wentest thorowe the wyldernesse. Selah. 8 The earth shoke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of God in Sinai, at the presence of God, whyche is the God of Israell. 9 Thou O God sendest a gracyous raine vpon thyne enherytaunce, and refreshest it when it is dry. 10 That thy beastes may dwel therin, which thou of thy goodnesse haste prepared for the poore. 11 The Lorde shall geue the worde, wyth great hostes of Euangelystes. 12 Kynges wyth their armyes shall fle, and they of the housholde shall deuyde the spoile 13 If so be that ye lye amonge the pales, the doues fethers shalbe couered with syluer, & her wynges of the colour of golde. 14 When the Almyghty setteth Kynges vpon the earth, it shalbe cleare euen in the darkne 15 The hyll of Basan is Gods hyl, the hil of Basan is a plenteous hyl. 16 Why hoppe ye so, ye greate hylles? It pleaseth God to dwell vpon thys hyll yea the Lorde wyll abide in it for euer. 17 The charettes of God are many .M. tymes thousande, the Lorde is among them in the holy Sinai. 18 Thou art gone vp an hye, thou hast ledde captiuitie captiue, and receyued gyftes for men: Yea, euen for thyne enemyes, that they might dwell with the Lord God. 19 Praysed be the Lord dayly, euen the God whiche helpeth vs, & poureth hys benefites vpon vs. Selah. 20 The God that is our sauiour, euen God the Lord by whome we escape death. 21 The God that smyteth the enemies vpon the heades and vpon the heary scalpes: such as go on styll in their wickednes. 22 The Lorde hath sayde: some wil I bryng agayne from Basan, some wyll I brynge agayne from the depe of the sea. 23 That thy fote may be dipped in the bloud of thyne enemyes, and that thy dogges may licke it vp. 24 It is well sene, O God, how thou goest, howe thou my God and kynge goest in the Sanctuary. 25 The singers go before, and then the mynstrels amonge the maydens with the tymbrels. 26 O geue thankes vnto God the Lorde in the congregacion, for the welles of Israel. 27 There lytle Beniamin, the princes of Iuda, the princes of Zabulon, & the princes of Nephthaly beare rule amonge them. 28 Thy God hath commytted strength vnto the, stablyshe the thynge, O God, that thou hast wrought in vs. 29 For thy temples sake at Hierusalem shall kynges brynge presentes vnto the. 30 Reproue the beastes amonge the reedes, the heape of bulles with the calues: those that dryue for money. Oh scatre the people that delite in battaile. 31 The princes shall come out of Egipt, the Morians land shall stretch out her handes vnto God. 32 Synge vnto God, O ye kyngedomes of the earth: O syng prayses vnto the Lorde. Selah. 33 Which sitteth in the heauens ouer all from the beginnynge: Lo, he shall sende oute hys voyce, yea, and that a mighty voyce. 34 Ascrybe ye the power vnto God, his glory is in Israel, and his might in the cloudes. 35 God is wonderfull in his Sanctuary, he is the God of Israel, he will geue strength and power vnto hys people. Blessed be God.
