Bishops Bible 1568
| 28:1 | Vnto thee I crye O God my strength, make not as though thou were deafe at me: lest if thou holdest thy peace, I become like them that go downe into the graue |
| 28:2 | Heare the voyce of my humble petitions when I crye vnto thee: when I holde vp my handes towarde thy holy place where thy arke is |
| 28:3 | Take me not away with the vngodlye, and with the workers of iniquitie: whiche speake of peace to their neighbours, but mischiefe is in their heartes |
| 28:4 | Rewarde them accordyng to their deedes: and according to the wickednes of their owne inuentions. (28:5) Recompence them after the worke of their handes: pay them home that they haue deserued |
| 28:5 | (28:6) For they geue not their minde to vnderstande the doynges of God and the worke of his handes: therefore he wyll breake them downe, and not buylde them vp |
| 28:6 | (28:7) Blessed be God: for he hath hearde the voyce of mine humble petitions |
| 28:7 | (28:8) God is my strength and my shielde, my heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart skippeth for ioy, and in my song I wyll prayse hym |
| 28:8 | (28:9) God is their strength: and the strength that saueth his annoynted |
| 28:9 | (28:10) O saue thy people, and geue thy blessing vnto thine inheritaunce: feede them and exalt them for euermore |
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.
