Bishops Bible 1568
| 83:1 | Holde not thy tongue O Lorde: kepe not styll scilence, refraine not thy selfe O Lorde |
| 83:2 | For beholde, thyne enemies make an vprore: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp their head |
| 83:3 | They haue deuised shrewde counsell against thy people: and they haue consulted against thyne, whom thou defendest |
| 83:4 | They haue said, come, and let vs roote them out, that they be no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembraunce |
| 83:5 | For they haue conspired all in one minde: & are confederate against thee |
| 83:6 | The pauilions of Edom and the Ismaelites: of Moab, and Hagerites |
| 83:7 | Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec: the Philistines with the inhabitauntes of Tyre |
| 83:8 | Assur also is ioyned vnto them: they were a great ayde to the chyldren of Lot. Selah |
| 83:9 | But do thou vnto them, as vnto Midian: as vnto Sisera, as vnto Iabin at the brooke Kishon |
| 83:10 | Whiche perished at Ein Dor: and became as the doung of the earth |
| 83:11 | Make them, their princes, and al their captaynes: lyke Oreb, and lyke Zeeb, and lyke Salmunna |
| 83:12 | Whiche sayd, let vs take to our selues: the houses of God in possession |
| 83:13 | O my Lorde, make them lyke vnto a wheele: and as chaffe before the winde |
| 83:14 | Lyke as a fire that burneth vp the wood: and as the flambe that consumeth the mountaynes |
| 83:15 | Persecute them euen so with thy tempest: and make them afrayde with thy storme |
| 83:16 | Make shame to appeare in their faces: that they may seeke thy name O God |
| 83:17 | Let them be confounded and astonied with feare euer more & more: let them be put to shame, and perishe |
| 83:18 | And let them knowe that thou in thy name God eternall art only: O thou the most highest ouer all the earth |
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.
