Bishops Bible 1568
| 92:1 | It is a good thyng to confesse vnto God: and to syng psalmes vnto thy name O thou most hyghest |
| 92:2 | To set foorth in wordes thy louyng kyndnesse early in the mornyng: and thy trueth in the nyght season |
| 92:3 | Upon an instrument of ten strynges, and vpon the Lute: vpon the Harpe with a solemne sounde |
| 92:4 | For thou God hast made me glad thorowe thy workes: I do reioyce in the workes of thy handes |
| 92:5 | O God howe glorious are thy workes? thy thoughtes are very depe |
| 92:6 | An vnwise man doth not consider this: and a foole doth not vnderstande it |
| 92:7 | Wheras the vngodly do bud vp greene as the grasse, and wheras all workers of iniquitie do florishe: that they notwithstandyng shalbe destroyed for euer and euer |
| 92:8 | But thou O God: art the most highest for euermore |
| 92:9 | For lo, thine enemies O God, lo thine enemies shall perishe: & all the workers of wickednesse shalbe destroyed |
| 92:10 | But my horne shalbe exalted lyke the horne of an vnicorne: for I am annoynted with excellent oyle |
| 92:11 | And myne eye shall see those that lye in wayte for me: myne eare shall heare the malitious persons that rise vp agaynst me |
| 92:12 | The ryghteous shall florishe lyke a paulme tree: and shall spread abroade like a Cedar in Libanus |
| 92:13 | Such as be planted in the house of God: shall florishe in the courtes of our Lorde |
| 92:14 | They shall styll bryng foorth fruite in their age: they shalbe fat and florishyng |
| 92:15 | For to set foorth in wordes that God is vpright: he is my rocke, and no iniquitie is in hym |
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.
