| 109:4 | For the loue that I had vnto them, they take now my contrary parte, but I geue my selfe vnto prayer. |
| 109:5 | Thus they reward me euel for good, and hatred for my god wyll. |

| 109:21 | But deale thou wyth me, O Lorde God, accordynge vnto thy name, for swete is thy mercy. O deliuer me, |
| 109:22 | for I am helplesse, and pore and my herte is wounded within me. |

| 109:26 | Helpe me, O Lorde my God, oh saue me for thy mercies sake. |
| 109:27 | That they maye knowe, how that thys is thy hand, and that thou hast done it. |
| 109:28 | Though they curse, yet blesse thou: and let them be confounded, that ryse vp agaynst me, but let thy seruaunt reioyse. |
| 109:29 | Let myne aduersaryes be clothed wyth their owne shame, as with a cloke. |
| 109:30 | As for me, I wyl geue thanckes vnto the Lord wyth my mouth, and praise hym among the multitude. |
| 109:31 | For he standeth at the ryght hand of the pore, to saue hym from suche as condempne hys soule. |
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.
