Bishops Bible 1568
| 27:1 | God is my lyght and saluation, whom then shall I feare? God is the strength of my life, of whom then shall I be afraide |
| 27:2 | When the malitious approched neare vnto me for to eate vp my fleshe: mine enemies and foes stumbled and fell |
| 27:3 | Though an hoast of men were layde in campe against me, yet shall not mine heart be afraide: and though there rose vp warre against me, yet I wyll put my trust in this |
| 27:4 | I haue desired one thyng of God, whiche once agayne I wyll earnestly require: euen that I may dwell in the house of God all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautifulnes of God, and to seeke it in his temple |
| 27:5 | For in the time of aduersitie he shall hide me in his tabernacle: yea in the secrete place of his pauilion he shall hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke of stone |
| 27:6 | And nowe he shall lift vp my head aboue mine enemies rounde about me: therfore I wyll offer in his tabernacle a sacrifice of great ioy, I wyll sing and prayse God with psalmes |
| 27:7 | Hearken vnto my voyce O god, when I crye vnto thee: haue mercy vpon me and heare me |
| 27:8 | My heart hath sayde vnto thee according to this thy commaundement seeke ye my face: thy face O God wyll I seeke |
| 27:9 | O hide not thou thy face from me, nor cast thy seruaunt away in a displeasure: thou hast ben my succour, leaue me not, neither forsake me O Lorde of my saluation |
| 27:10 | For my father and mother forsoke me: and God did take me vp |
| 27:11 | Teache me thy way O God: and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies |
| 27:12 | Deliuer me not into mine aduersaries handes: for there are false witnesses rysen vp against me, and such as speake wrong |
| 27:13 | If I had not beleued veryly to see the goodnes of God in the lande of the liuing: [their spite had kylled me. |
| 27:14 | Attende thou therfore vpon God, be of a good courage, and he will comfort thine heart: I say attende thou vpon God |
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.
