Bishops Bible 1568
| 90:1 | Lorde thou hast ben our habitation: from one generation to another generation |
| 90:2 | Before the moutaynes were brought foorth, or euer the earth & the worlde were made: thou art God both from euerlastyng, and also vntyll euerlastyng |
| 90:3 | Thou turnest man most miserable euen vnto dust: thou sayest also, O ye children of men returne you into dust |
| 90:4 | For a thousande yeres in thy syght are but as yestarday that is past: and as a watch in the nyght |
| 90:5 | Thou makest them to flowe away, they are a sleepe: they be in the morning as an hearbe that groweth |
| 90:6 | In the mornyng it florisheth and groweth vp: in the euenyng it is cut downe and wythered |
| 90:7 | For we be consumed through thy displeasure: and we are astonyed through thy wrathfull indignation |
| 90:8 | Thou hast set our misdeedes before thee: and our sinnes wherof we be not priuie, in the lyght of thy countenaunce |
| 90:9 | For all our dayes do passe in thine anger: we spende our yeres as in speaking a worde |
| 90:10 | The dayes of our yeres be in all threescore yeres and tenne, and yf through strength of nature men come to foure score yeres: yet is their iolitie but labour and care, yea moreouer it passeth in haste from vs, and we flee from it |
| 90:11 | Who regardeth the force of thy wrath? for euen there after as a man feareth thee, so feeleth he thy displeasure |
| 90:12 | Make vs to knowe so our dayes, that we number them: and we wyll frame a heart vnto wisdome |
| 90:13 | Turne agayne O God (what, for euer wylt thou be angry?) and be gratious vnto thy seruauntes |
| 90:14 | Replenishe vs early in the mornyng with thy mercie: and we wyll crye out for ioy, and be glad all the dayes of our lyfe |
| 90:15 | Make vs mery accordyng to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs: and accordyng to the yeres wherin we haue suffred aduersitie |
| 90:16 | Let thy worke appeare in thy seruauntes: and thy glory in their children |
| 90:17 | And let the glorious maiestie of the Lorde our God be vpon vs: and prosper thou the worke of our handes vpon vs, O prosper thou our handy worke |
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.
