Matthew's Bible 1537
| 1:1 | O blessed is the man, that goeth not in the counsayll of the vngodly: that abydeth not in the waie of sinners and sitteth not in the seate of the scorneful. |
| 1:2 | But deliteth in the lawe of the Lord, and exercyseth hym self in hys lawe, bothe daye and nyght. |
| 1:3 | Suche a man is lyke a tree planted by the watersyde, that bringeth forthe hys frute in due season. His leaues shall not fall af, & loke whatsoeuer he doth, it shall prospere. |
| 1:4 | As for the vngodly, it is not so with them but they are lyke the dust, wych the wynde scatered awaye from the grounde. |
| 1:5 | Thefore the vngodly shall not be able to stande in the iudgement, nether the synners in the congregacyon of the ryghtuous. |
| 1:6 | For the Lorde aloweth the waye of the righteous, but the waye of the vngodly shal peryshe. |
Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
