| [1]Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us: |
[1]Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lorde, thou God of all thinges, haue respect vnto vs: shewe vs the light of thy mercies, |
| [2]And send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee. |
[2]And sende thy feare among the heathen and straungers which seeke not after thee, that they may knowe that there is no God but thou, and that they may shew thy wonderous workes. |
| [3]Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power. |
[3]Lyft vp thyne hande ouer the outlandishe heathen, that they may learne to knowe thy might and power. |
| [4]As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us. |
[4]Lyke as thou art halowed in vs before them: so bring to passe that thou mayst be magnified also in them before vs. |
| [5]And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God. |
[5]That they may know thee, lyke as we know thee: for there is none other God but onely thou O Lorde. |
| [6]Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works. |
[6]Renue the tokens, and chaunge the wonderous workes: shew thyne hand and thy right arme gloriouslie. |
| [7]Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy. |
[7]Rayse vp thyne indignation, and poure out thy wrath: take away the aduersarie, and smite the enemie. |
| [8]Sake the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works. |
[8]Make the time shorte, remember thy couenaunt, that thy woderous workes may be praysed. |
| [9]Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people. |
[9]Let the wrath of the fyre consume them that lyue so carelesse: and let them perishe that do thy people hurt. |
| [10]Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we. |
[10]Smyte in sunder the head of the princes that be our enemies, and say, there is none other but we. |
| [11]Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning. Though I was the last to wake up, yet I received their inheritance as from the beginning. |
[11]Gather all the tribes of Iacob together againe, that they may knowe how that there is none other God but onely thou, that they may shewe thy wonderous workes: and be thou thy peoples heritage, lyke as from the beginning. |
| [12]O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn. |
[12]O Lorde haue mercie vpon the people that hath thy name, and vpon Israel whom thou hast lykened to a first borne sonne. |
| [13]O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest. |
[13]O be mercifull vnto Hierusalem the citie of thy sanctuarie, the citie of thy rest. |
| [14]Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people with thy glory: |
[14]Fill Sion with thyne vnspeakable vertues, and thy people with thy glorie. |
| [15]Give testimony unto those that thou hast possessed from the beginning, and raise up prophets that have been in thy name. |
[15]Geue witnesse vnto thy creature who thou madest from the beginning, and rayse vp the prophesies that haue ben shewed in thy name. |
| [16]Reward them that wait for thee, and let thy prophets be found faithful. |
[16]Rewarde them that wayte for thee, that thy prophetes may be founde faithfull. |
| [17]O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God. |
[17]O Lorde heare the prayer of thy seruauntes according to the blessing of Aaron ouer thy people, and guide thou vs in the way of righteousnes: that al they which dwell vpon the earth may know that thou art the Lorde the eternall God, which is from euerlasting. |
| [18]The belly devoureth all meats, yet is one meat better than another. |
[18]The belly deuoureth all meates: yet is one meate better then another. |
| [19]As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison: so doth an heart of understanding false speeches. |
[19]Lyke as the tongue tasteth venison: so doth an heart of vnderstandyng marke false wordes. |
| [20]A froward heart causeth heaviness: but a man of experience will recompense him. |
[20]A froward heart geueth heauines: but a man of experience lyfteth him vp againe. |
| [21]A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better than another. |
[21]The woman receaueth euery man: yet is one daughter better then another. |
| [22]The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better. |
[22]A faire wyfe reioyceth her husband: and a man loueth nothing better. |
| [23]If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men. |
[23]If there be in her tongue gentlenes, meekenes, and holsome talke: then is not her husband lyke other men. |
| [24]He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest. |
[24]He that hath gotten a vertuous woman, hath a goodlie possession: she is vnto him a helpe, and piller wherevpon he resteth. |
| [25]Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning. |
[25]Where no hedge is, there the goodes are spoyled: and where no huswyfe is, there the frendles mourneth. |
| [26]Who will trust a thief well appointed, that skippeth from city to city? so who will believe a man that hath no house, and lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him? |
[26]Lyke as there is no credence geuen to a robber that goeth from one citie to another: so is not the man beleued that hath no nest, and must turne in where he may abide in the night. |
