Matthew's Bible 1537
| 52:1 | To the chaunter, an exortacyon of Dauid when Doeg the Edomite came to Saul, and shewed hym, sayinge: Dauid is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thy self, thou Tyrraunt, that thou canste do myschiefe? Wher as the goodnesse of God endureth yet dayly. |
| 52:2 | Thy tonge ymagyneth wyckednesse, and with lyes it cutteth like a sharpe rasoure. |
| 52:3 | Thou loueste vngratiousnesse more then good, to talke of lyes more then ryghtuousnesse. Selah. |
| 52:4 | Thou louest to speake al wordes that may do hurte. O thou false tonge. |
| 52:5 | Therfore shall God cleane destroye the, smyte the in peces, pluke the out of thy dwellynge, and rote the out of the lande of the lyuynge. Selah. |
| 52:6 | The rightuous shal se this, and feare, and laugh him to scorne, |
| 52:7 | Lo, this is the man, that toke not God for his strength but trusted vnto the multitud of his riches, & was myghty in his wickednes. |
| 52:8 | As for me, I am lyke a grene olyue tree in the house of God: my truste is in the tender mercy of God for euer and euer. |
| 52:9 | I wyll alwaye geue thankes vnto the, for that thou hast done: & wil hope in thy name, for thy sayntes lyke it wel. |
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.
