Bishops Bible 1568
| 52:1 | Why boastest thy self thou tiraunt of mischiefe? the goodnes of God dayly endureth |
| 52:2 | Thy tongue imagineth wickednes: and deceaueth like a sharpe raser |
| 52:3 | Thou hast loued vngratiousnes more then goodnes: and to talke of falshood more then of righteousnes. Selah |
| 52:4 | Thou hast loued to speake all wordes that may do hurt: O thou deceiptfull tongue |
| 52:5 | Therfore the Lord wyll destroy thee for euer: he wyll take thee and plucke thee out of thy dwelling, and roote thee out of the lande of the liuing. Selah |
| 52:6 | The righteous also shall see this: and they wyll be afraide and laugh hym to scorne |
| 52:7 | Saying lo this is the man that put not the Lorde to be his strength: but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and strengthed him selfe in his wickednesse |
| 52:8 | As for me I am lyke a greene oliue tree in the house of the Lorde: my trust is in the tender mercy of the Lorde for euer and euer |
| 52:9 | I will alway confesse it vnto thee, for that thou hast done it: and I wyll hope in thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saintes |
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.
