| 63:2 | Thus do I loke for the in thy Sanctuary, that I myght beholde thy power and glorye, |
| 63:3 | For thy louynge kyndnesse is bettrr then lyfe, my lyppes shall prayse the. |
| 63:4 | As longe as I lyue wyll I magnyfye the and lyft vp my handes in thy name. |
| 63:5 | My soule is satisfied euen as it were with mary and fatnesse, when my mouth prayseth the with ioyful lyps. |
| 63:6 | In my bedde wyll I remember the, and when I wake my talkynge shalbe of the. |
| 63:7 | For thou hast bene my helper, and vnder the shadow of thy wynges wyl I reioyse. |
| 63:8 | My soule hangeth vpon the, thy ryghte hande vpholdeth me. |
| 63:9 | They seke after my soule, but in vayne, for they shall go vnder the earth. |
| 63:10 | They shall fall into the swerd, and be a porcyon for foxes. |
| 63:11 | But the Kynge shall reioyse in God: all they that sweare by him, shalbe commended for the mouth of lyers shalbe stopped. |
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.
