Bishops Bible 1568
| 33:1 | Reioyce in God O ye righteous: for prayse becommeth well the iust |
| 33:2 | Confesse it to god with the harpe: sing psalmes vnto hym with the viall, and with the instrument of ten stringes |
| 33:3 | Sing vnto him a new song: do it cunningly, make a sweete noyse with your musicall instrumentes alowde |
| 33:4 | For the word of God is right: and euery worke of his done in fayth |
| 33:5 | He loueth righteousnes & iudgement: the earth is ful of the goodnes of God |
| 33:6 | By the worde of God are the heauens made: and all the hoastes of them by the breath of his mouth |
| 33:7 | He gathereth the waters of the sea together as it were vpon an heape: and layeth vp the deepe as treasures |
| 33:8 | Let all the earth feare God: let all they that dwell in the worlde stande in awe of him |
| 33:9 | For he spake and it was: he commauded, and it was brought to passe |
| 33:10 | God bringeth the counsell of the Heathen to naught: and maketh the deuises of the people to be of none effect |
| 33:11 | The counsayle of God shall endure for euer: and the thoughtes of his heart from generation to generation |
| 33:12 | Blessed is the nation that hath God to be their Lorde: that people hath he chosen to be an inheritaunce for him |
| 33:13 | (33:13a) God looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the chyldren of me |
| 33:14 | (33:13b) from the place where he resteth: he eyeth diligently euery dweller on the earth |
| 33:15 | (33:14) He fashioneth their heartes together: he vnderstandeth al their workes |
| 33:16 | (33:15) A king is not saued by the multitude of an hoast: a man of great myght escapeth not by much strength |
| 33:17 | (33:16) A horse for to saue is vanitie: and he can deliuer none by his great strength |
| 33:18 | (33:17) Beholde, the eye of God is vpon them that feare hym: and vpon them that wayteth after his mercy |
| 33:19 | (33:18) To deliuer their soules from death: and to preserue their liues in dearth |
| 33:20 | (33:19) Our soule wayteth after God: he is our ayde and shielde |
| 33:21 | (33:20) For our heart shall reioyce in him: because we haue put our trust in his holy name |
| 33:22 | (33:21) Let thy louing kindnes O God be vppon vs: like as we haue put our trust in thee |
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.
