King James Bible 1611
| 92:1 | [A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day.] It is a good thing to giue thanks vnto the Lord, and to sing praises vnto thy Name, O most High: |
| 92:2 | To shew foorth thy louing kindnesse in the morning: and thy faithfulnesse euery night: |
| 92:3 | Upon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the psalterie: vpon the harpe with a solemne sound. |
| 92:4 | For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy worke: I will triumph in the workes of thy hands. |
| 92:5 | O Lord, how great are thy workes! and thy thoughts are very deepe. |
| 92:6 | A brutish man knoweth not: neither doeth a foole vnderstand this. |
| 92:7 | When the wicked spring as the grasse, and when all the workers of iniquitie doe flourish: it is that they shall be destroyed for euer. |
| 92:8 | But thou, Lord, art most high for euermore. |
| 92:9 | For loe, thine enemies, O Lord, for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shalbe scattred. |
| 92:10 | But my horne shalt thou exalt like the horne of an vnicorne: I shalbe anointed with fresh oyle. |
| 92:11 | Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my desire of the wicked that rise vp against me. |
| 92:12 | The righteous shal flourish like the palme tree: hee shall growe like a cedar in Lebanon. |
| 92:13 | Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| 92:14 | They shal still bring forth fruit in old age: they shalbe fat, & flourishing: |
| 92:15 | To shew that the Lord is vpright: hee is my rocke, and there is no vnrighteousnesse in him. |
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.
