God

Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.

Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.

And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. Selah.

Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.

I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.

I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.

For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.

I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.

If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.

Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?

Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,

And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.

But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth,

Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?

These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee.

Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.

He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercie vpon me, O God, according to thy louing kindnes: according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities.

Against thee, against thee onely haue I sinned, and done euill in thy sight, that thou mayest be iust when thou speakest, and pure when thou iudgest.

Beholde, thou louest trueth in the inwarde affections: therefore hast thou taught mee wisedome in the secret of mine heart.

Make me to heare ioye and gladnes, that the bones, which thou hast broken, may reioyce.

Hide thy face from my sinnes, and put away all mine iniquities.

Create in mee a cleane heart, O God, and renue a right spirit within me.

Cast mee not away from thy presence, and take not thine holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the ioy of thy saluation, and stablish me with thy free Spirit.
