Matthew's Bible 1537
| 36:1 | To the chaunter, of Dauid the seruaunt of the Lorde. My hert sheweth me the wickednesse of the vngodly, that there is no feare of God before hys eyes. |
| 36:2 | For he dissembleth before his face, so longe tyll hys abhominable sinne be founde out. |
| 36:3 | The woordes of hys mouth are vnrighteousnes and disceate, he will not be learned to do good. |
| 36:4 | He ymagineth mischief vpon his bedde he wil come in no good waye, nor refuse the thyng that is euel. |
| 36:5 | Thy mercy, O Lorde, reacheth vnto the heauen, and thy faythfulnesse vnto the cloudes. |
| 36:6 | Thy righteousnesse standeth lyke the strong mountaynes, and thy iudgemente lyke the great depe. Thou Lord preseruest both men and beastes. |
| 36:7 | How precious is thy mercy, O God, that the chyldren of men maye put their trust vnder the shadowe of thy wynges? |
| 36:8 | They shalbe satisfied with the plenteousnesse of thy house, and thou shalte geue them drynke of the ryuer of thy pleasures. |
| 36:9 | For by the is the wel of lyfe, and in thy lyght, shall we se lyght. |
| 36:10 | O sprede forth thy louing kyndnesse vnto them that knowe the, and thy ryghteousnesse vnto them that are true of hert. |
| 36:11 | O let not the fote of pride ouertake me, O let not the hande of the vngodly caste me doune. |
| 36:12 | As for wycked doers, they fall, they are cast doune, and are not able to stande. |
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.
