Bishops Bible 1568
| 1:1 | Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsell of the vngodly: nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seate of the scornefull |
| 1:2 | But his delight is in the lawe of God: and in God his lawe exerciseth himselfe day and night |
| 1:3 | And he shalbe lyke a tree planted by the waters syde, that bryngeth foorth her fruite in due season: and whose leafe wythereth not, for whatsoeuer he doth it shall prosper |
| 1:4 | As for the vngodly it is not so with them: but they are like the chaffe which the winde scattereth abrode |
| 1:5 | Therefore the vngodly shall not be able to stande in the iudgement: neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous |
| 1:6 | For God knoweth the way of the righteous: and the way of the vngodly shall perishe |
Bishops Bible 1568
The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
