Psalmes 116

P S A L. CXV.

1 Because God is truly glorious, 4 and Idols are vanity, 9 He exhorteth to confidence in God. 12 God is to be blessed for his blessings.

CXVI ¶ Not vnto vs, O LORD, not vnto vs, but vnto thy name giue glory: for thy mercy, and for thy truthes sake.2 [ref]Wherefore should the heathen say: Where is now their God?3 [ref]But our God is in the heauens: he hath done whatsoeuer he pleased.4 [ref]Their idoles are siluer and gold: the worke of mens hands.5 They haue mouths, but they speake not; eies haue they, but they see not.6 They haue eares, but they heare not: noses haue they, but they smell not.7 They haue hands, but they handle not, feete haue they, but they walke not: neither speake they through their throat.8 They that make them are like vnto them: so is euery one that trusteth in them.9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their helpe and their shield.10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their helpe & their shield.11 Ye that feare the LORD trust in the LORD: he is their helpe and their shield.12 The LORD hath bene mindfull of vs, he will blesse vs, he will blesse the house of Israel: he will blesse the house of Aaron.13 [fn]Hee will blesse them that feare the LORD: both small and great.14 The LORD shall increase you more and more: you and your children.15 You are blessed of the LORD: which made heauen and earth.16 The heauen, euen the heauens are the LORDs: but the earth hath hee giuen to the children of men.17 The dead praise not the LORD: neither any that go downe into silence.18 [ref]But we will blesse the LORD, from this time foorth and for euermore. Praise the LORD.

CXVI P S A L. CXVI.

1 The Psalmist professeth his loue and duetie to God, for his deliuerance. 12 Hee studieth to be thankfull.

CXVI ¶ I loue the LORD: because hee hath heard my voice, & my supplications.2 [fn]Because hee hath inclined his eare vnto mee: therefore will I call vpon him as long as I liue.3 [ref][fn]The sorrowes of death compassed me, and the paines of hell gate hold vpon me: I found trouble and sorrow.4 Then called I vpon the Name of the LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee deliuer my soule.5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous: yea our God is mercifull.6 The LORD preserueth the simple: I was brought low, and hee helped me.7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.8 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.9 I wil walke before the LORD: in the land of the liuing.10 [ref]I beleeued, therfore haue I spoken: I was greatly afflicted.11 [ref]I said in my haste: All men are lyers.12 What shall I render vnto the LORD: for all his benefits towards mee?13 I will take the cup of saluation: and call vpon the Name of the LORD.14 I will pay my vowes vnto the LORD: now in the presence of all his people.15 Precious in y^e sight of the LORD: is the death of his Saints.16 Oh LORD, truely I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thy handmayde: thou hast loosed my bonds.17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thankes-giuing: and will call vpon the Name of the LORD.18 I will pay my vowes vnto the LORD: now in the presence of all his people:19 In the Courts of the LORDs house, in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
