¶ The .cv. Psalme. (Prayse the Lorde.) CONFITEMINI DOMINO.

-- --

A    note noteO geue thankes vnto the Lorde, &abar;d cal vpon hys name: tell the people, what thynges he hath done. O let your songes be of hym: and prayse hym, and let youre talkynge be of all hys wonderous worckes. Reioyse in his holy name, let the hert of them reioyse, that seke þe; Lorde. Seke the Lord, and his strength, seke his face euermore. Rem&ebar;bre the maruelous worckes that he hath done, his w&obar;ders and the iudgmentes of his mouth. O ye sede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye chyldr&ebar; of Iacob his chosen. He is the Lorde oure God: his iudgementes are in all the worlde.

He hath bene alwaye myndfull of hys couenaunt, and promyse that he made to a thousand generacions. noteEuen the couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and note þe; ooth that he sware vnto Isahac. noteAnd apoynted the same vnto Iacob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlastynge testam&ebar;t.

Sayenge: vnto the wyll I geue þe; lande of Canaan, the lot of youre inherytaunce.

B   When there was yet but a fewe of them, and they straungers in the lande. What tyme as they went from one nacion to another, fr&obar; one kyngdome to another people.

noteHe suffred no man to do them wrong, but reproued euen kynges for their sakes.

Touch not myne anoynted, ∧ do my prophetes no harme. Morouer, he called for a darth vpon the lande, and destroyed all the prouisyon of bread. noteBut he had sent a man before them, euen Ioseph whych was solde to be a bonde seruaunt. Whose fete they hurt in the stockes note the yron entred into his &rhand; soule. Untill the tyme came þt; his cause was knowne, the worde of þe; Lord tryed him. noteThe kyng sent and delyuered him: þe; prince of the people let him go fre.

He made him Lorde also his of house, &abar;d ruler of all his substa&ubar;ce. That he might enfourme his princes after his will, ∧ teach his Senatours wysdome. note C   Israel also came into Egypte, and Iacob was a stra&ubar;ger in the land of Ham. noteAnd he increased his people exceadingly, and made them stronger then their enemies. Whose hert turned, so that they hated his people, ∧ dealt vntruly with his serua&ubar;tes. noteThen sent he Moses his seruaunt, and Aaron, wh&obar; he had chosen. And these shewed his tokens amonge them, and wonders in the lande of H&abar;. noteHe sent darcknesse, ∧ it was darcke, &rhand; and they were not obedyent vnto hys worde. noteHe turned theyr waters into bloude, and slewe their fyshe. noteTheir l&abar;d brought forth frogges, yee eu&ebar; in their kynges chambers. noteHe spake the worde, and their came all maner of flyes, and lyce in all their quarters. noteHe gaue th&ebar; hayle stones for rayne, and flammes of fyre in their l&abar;de.

He smote these vines also and fyge trees, ∧ destroyed the trees that were in their coastes. noteHe spake the worde, &abar;d þe; greshoppers came, ∧ catyrpyllers innumerable. And dyd eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the frute of their grounde. noteHe smote all the fyrst borne in their lande, euen the chefe of all theyr strength. He brought them forth also &wt; syluer &abar;d golde, there was not one feble persone am&obar;g their trybes. D   Egypte was glad at their departyng, for note they were afrayed of th&ebar;. noteHe spred out a cloude to be a coueryng, and fyre to geue lyght in þe; nightceason. noteAt their desyre, he brought quayles, and he fylled th&ebar; with the bread of heauen. noteHe opened the rocke of stone, &abar;d the waters flowed out: so that ryuers ranne in the drye places. For why? he remembred hys holy promes, and Abraham his seruaunt. And he brought forth his people with ioye, and his chosen &wt; gladnesse. And gaue them the landes of þe; Heathen, and they toke the labours of the people in possessyon. That they myght kepe hys statutes, and obserue hys lawes. Prayse the Lorde.
