¶2; The argument of the .L. Psalme.
¶ The prophete bryngeth in God to call to iudgement heauen, earth, and all the worlde,
declaryng that he is not ryghtly worshypped of them who offer sacrifices without
fayth, and who pretendyng religion in wordes and countenaunces, leade a lyfe cleane
contrary. The true worship of God consisteth in offeryng vnto hym prayses in prosperitie,
and callyng vpon his name in aduersitie, and withall, in leadyng a good conuersation
of lyfe.

Lorde God hath
spoken: and called
the earth from

the sunne, vnto
the goyng downe
therof.
2 Out of Sion:
hath the Lorde appeared in perfect
beautie.
3 Our Lorde commeth, and he wyll
not note kepe scilence: there goeth before
hym a consumyng fire, and a mightie
tempest is sturred rounde about hym.
4 He calleth from aboue the heauen and
the earth: that he may iudge his people.

those that haue made a couenaunt with
me with sacrifice.
6 And the heauens shall declare his
ryghteousnesse: for God is iudge hym

7 Heare O my people, and I wil speake:
I my selfe wyll testifie vnto thee O Israel,
I am the Lorde, euen thy Lorde.
8 I wyll not reproue thee because of thy
sacrifices, or for thy burnt offerynges:
[for that they be not] alway before me.
9 I wyll take no bullocke out of thy
house: nor goates out of thy foldes.
10 For all the beastes of the forest are
myne: and so are the cattel vpon a thousande
hylles.
11 I knowe all the foules vpon the
mountaynes: and the wylde beastes of
the fielde are at note my commaundement.
12 If I be hungry, I wyll not tell thee:
for the whole worlde is myne, and all
that is therin.
13 Thinkest thou that I will eate bulles
fleshe: and drynke the blood of goates?
14 Offer vnto God prayse: and pay thy
vowes vnto the most hyghest.
C
15 And call vpon me in the tyme of trouble:
I wyll heare thee, and thou shalt

glorifie me.
16 But the Lorde sayd vnto the vngodly:
why doest thou preache my lawes, and
takest my couenaunt in thy mouth?
17 Seyng that thou hatest discipline: and
hast cast my wordes behynde thee.
18 When thou sawest a thiefe, thou dydst
consent vnto hym: and thou hast ben
partaker with the adulterers.
19 Thou hast let thy mouth speake wickednesse:
and with thy tongue thou hast
set foorth deceipt.
20 Thou sattest and spakedst agaynst
thy brother: yea and hast slaundered
thine owne mothers sonne.
21 These thynges hast thou done and I
note helde my tongue, thou thoughtest
that I am euen such a one as thou thy
selfe art: but I wyll reproue thee, and
I wyll set foorth in order before thine
eyes [all that thou hast done.]
22 Consider this I pray you, ye that forget
the Lorde: lest I plucke you away,
and there be none to delyuer you.
23 Who so offereth vnto me thankes and
prayse, he honoureth me: and to hym
that ordereth his conuersation ryght, I
wyll shewe the saluation of God.
