The Great Bible 1539
| 90:1 | A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lorde, thou hast bene oure refuge from one generacyon to another. |
| 90:2 | Before the mountaynes were brought forth, or euer the earth & the worlde were made, thou art God from euerlastyng and worlde without ende. |
| 90:3 | Thou turnest man to destruccion. Agayne, thou sayest: come agayne ye chyldren of men. |
| 90:4 | For a thousande yeares in thy syght are but as yesterdaye, seynge that is past as a watch in the nyght. |
| 90:5 | As sone as thou scatrest them, they are euen as a slepe, and fade awaye sodenly lyke the grasse, |
| 90:6 | In the mornyng it is grene and groweth vp, but in the euenynge it is cut downe and withered. |
| 90:7 | For we consume awaye in thy displeasure, & are afrayed at thy wrathfull indignacyon. |
| 90:8 | Thou hast set oure misdedes before the, and oure secrete synnes in the lyght of thy countenaunce. |
| 90:9 | For when thou art angrye, all oure dayes are gone: we brynge our yeares to an ende, as it were a tale that is tolde. |
| 90:10 | The dayes of oure age are thre score yeares and ten: and though men be so stronge that they come to foure score yeares, yet is theyr strength then but laboure and sorowe: so soone passeth it awaye, and we are gone. |
| 90:11 | But who regardeth the power of thy wrath, for euen therafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure. |
| 90:12 | O teach vs, to nombre oure dayes, that we maye applye oure hertes vnto wysdome. |
| 90:13 | Turne the agayne (O Lorde) at the laste, and be gracious vnto thy seruauntes. |
| 90:14 | O satisfye vs with thy mercy, and that soone: so shall we reioyse and be glad all the dayes of oure lyfe. |
| 90:15 | Comforte vs agayne, now after the tyme that thou hast plaged vs, and for the yeares wherin we haue suffred aduersyte. |
| 90:16 | Shewe thy seruauntes thy worke, and theyr chyldren thy glory. |
| 90:17 | And the glorious maiesty of the Lorde oure God be vpon vs: prospere thou the worke of oure handes vpon vs, O prospere thou oure handy worke. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
