The .xc. Psalme
O Lorde
thou haste bene oure refuge, and place wherin to dwell:
In all the tyme that erste hath bene, so longe as tonge can tell.
In all the tyme that erste hath bene, so longe as tonge can tell.
Before the mountaynes were vp spronge and the rownde earth formed:
From all ages that euer were, thou haste bene God in dede.
From all ages that euer were, thou haste bene God in dede.
Thou leadest man backe tyll he be well most grownde in sunder:
And then thou sayest (O mortall men) retourne agayne hither.
And then thou sayest (O mortall men) retourne agayne hither.
For in thy syght a thousand yere are as the daye laste paste:
And as the quarters of the nyght, that passe awaye in haste.
And as the quarters of the nyght, that passe awaye in haste.
Thou makest them to passe awaye hastly as doeth a sure:
They are lyke dreames and as the grasse, they do not longe endure.
They are lyke dreames and as the grasse, they do not longe endure.
As in the morne the grasse is grene, and gathereth him myght:
So doeth it drye & is cut downe agayne ere it be nyght.
So doeth it drye & is cut downe agayne ere it be nyght.
For thyne anger maketh vs faynte, and as weake as a strawe:
And when thy wrath is kendeled, then do we stande in awe.
And when thy wrath is kendeled, then do we stande in awe.
Thou haste set oure iniquities playnly before thy syght:
And all our secrete synnes thou haste, made open in the lyght.
And all our secrete synnes thou haste, made open in the lyght.
When thou art wrath, then all our dayes do passe and slyde awaye:
We ende our yeres in shortter space, thē any man can saye.
We ende our yeres in shortter space, thē any man can saye.
The yeres that we vse to lyue here, are but three score and ten:
And if any lyue to toure score, they are verie olde men.
And if any lyue to toure score, they are verie olde men.
Nowe the verie beste of this tyme, is but labour and payne:
And yet it passeth sone awaye, and wee are gone agayne.
And yet it passeth sone awaye, and wee are gone agayne.
Who knoweth the force of thy wrathe, and of thy displeasure?
For on him that feareth the moste, thy wrath lyghteth most sure.
For on him that feareth the moste, thy wrath lyghteth most sure.
Tell vs playnly therfore that we maye knowe the certen summe:
Of our lyfe dayes, & then apply our myndes to get wisedome.
Of our lyfe dayes, & then apply our myndes to get wisedome.
Returne (O Lorde) howe far, I saye, shall thy furie extend?
Be pleased with thy pore seruantes, let them not the offende.
Satisfie vs wyth thy mercie, erly before the prime:
Then shall we reioyce and be glad, all the dayes of our tyme.
Then shall we reioyce and be glad, all the dayes of our tyme.
For the dayes in the which we dyd thy punishment sustayne:
And for the yeres of miserie, make vs reioyce agayne.
And for the yeres of miserie, make vs reioyce agayne.
Let thy worcke shyne in thy seruantes, let them be knowne for thyne:
And in the chyldren of them all, Lord let thy glorie shyne.
And in the chyldren of them all, Lord let thy glorie shyne.
Thy decor and thy comlynes, Lord God be in vs aye:
Confirme thou the worckes of oure handes, confirme thou them I saye.
Confirme thou the worckes of oure handes, confirme thou them I saye.
