Matthew's Bible 1537

   

114:1When Israel came out of Egypt and the house of Iacob from among that straunge people.
114:2Iuda was his Sanctuary, Israell his domynyon.
114:3The sea saw that & fled, Iordan turned backe.
114:4The mountaynes skipped like rammes, and the lytle hylles like yong shepe.
114:5What ayled the, O thou sea, that thou fleddest so thou Iordan, that thou turnedest backe?
114:6Ye mountaynes that ye skypped lyke rammes: and ye litle hilles, like yong shepe?
114:7The earth trembled at the presence of the Lorde, at the presence of the God of Iacob.
114:8Whyche turned the harde rocke into a staudynge water, and the flynte stone into a spryngyng well.

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.
