Psalmes 20

P S A L. XIX.

1 The creatures shew Gods glory. 7 The word his Grace. 12 Dauid prayeth for Grace.

¶ [ref]To the chiefe Musician, A Psalme of Dauid.

XX ¶ The heauens declare the glory of God: and the firmament sheweth his handy worke. 2 Day vnto day vttereth speach, and night vnto night sheweth knowledge. 3 [fn]There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard. 4 [fn][ref]Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world: In them hath he set a tabernacle for the Sunne. 5 Which is as a bridegrome comming out of his chamber, and reioyceth as a strong man to runne a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heauen, and his circuite vnto the ends of it: and there is nothing hidde from the heat thereof. 7 [fn][fn]The Law of the LORD is perfect, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The Statutes of the LORD are right, reioycing the heart: the Commandement of the LORD is pure, inlightning the eyes. 9 [fn]The feare of the LORD is cleane, enduring for euer: the Iudgements of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 10 [ref][fn]More to bee desired are they then gold, yea, then much fine gold: sweeter also then hony, and the hony combe. 11 Moreouer by them is thy seruant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can vnderstand his errours? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 [fn]Keepe back thy seruant also from presumptuous sinnes, let them not haue dominion ouer me: then shall I be vpright, and I shalbe innocent from the great transgression. 14 [fn]Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, bee acceptable in thy sight, O LORD my strength, and my redeemer.

P S A L. XX.

1 The Church blesseth the King in his exploits. 7 Her confidence in Gods succour.

¶ [fn]To the chiefe Musician. A Psalme of Dauid.

XX ¶ The LORD heare thee in the day of trouble, the Name of the God of Iacob defend thee. 2 [fn][fn]Send thee helpe from the Sanctuary: and strengthen thee out of Sion. 3 [fn]Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice. Selah. 4 Graunt thee according to thine owne heart, and fulfill all thy counsell. 5 We will reioyce in thy saluation, and in the Name of our God we will set vp our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions. 6 [fn][fn]Now know I, that the LORD saueth his Anointed: he wil heare him from his holy heauen, with the sauing strength of his right hand. 7 Some trust in charets, and some in horses: but wee will remember the Name of the LORD our God. 8 They are brought downe and fallen: but we are risen, and stand vpright. 9 Saue LORD, let the King heare vs when we call.
