King James Bible 1611

 

   

135:1Praise ye the Lord, Praise ye the Name of the Lord: prayse him, O ye seruants of the Lord.
135:2Yee that stand in the House of the Lord: in the courts of the house of our God.
135:3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name, for it is pleasant.
135:4For the Lord hath chosen Iacob vnto himselfe: and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
135:5For I know that the Lord is great: and that our Lord is aboue all gods.
135:6Whatsoeuer the Lord pleased, that did he in heauen and in earth: in the Seas, and all deepe places.
135:7Hee causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth, he maketh lightnings for the raine: he bringeth the winde out of his treasuries.
135:8Who smote the first borne of Egypt: both of man and beast.
135:9Who sent tokens and woonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt: vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.
135:10Who smote great nations: and slew mightie kings:
135:11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan: and all the kingdomes of Canaan,
135:12And gaue their land for an heritage: an heritage vnto Israel his people.
135:13Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: and thy memoriall, O Lord, throughout all generations.
135:14For the Lord will iudge his people: and he will repent himselfe concerning his seruants.
135:15The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde: the worke of mens hands.
135:16They haue mouthes, but they speake not: eyes haue they, but they see not:
135:17They haue eares, but they heare not: neither is there any breath in their mouthes.
135:18They that make them are like vnto them: so is euery one that trusteth in them.
135:19Blesse the Lord, O house of Israel: blesse the Lord, O house of Aaron.
135:20Blesse the Lord, O house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, blesse the Lord.
135:21Blessed be the Lord out of Zion; which dwelleth at Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

King James Bible 1611

The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.

The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
