Matthew's Bible 1537
| 7:1 | Sigaion of Dauid, whych he sang for the wordes of Cus the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my god, in the do I trust: saue me from al them that persecute me, and delyuer me. |
| 7:2 | Lest he deuoureth vp my soule lyke a lion and teare it in peces whyle ther is none to helpe, |
| 7:3 | O Lorde my God, if I haue done anye suche thyng, if there be any vnrightuousnes in my handes: |
| 7:4 | If I haue rewarded euyl vnto them that dealt frendly wyth me, or hurt them that wyth out any cause are myne enemies. |
| 7:5 | Then let myne enemye persecute my soule, and take mo: ye let hym treade my life downe in the earth, and laye myne honour in the dust. Selah. |
| 7:6 | Stande vp (O Lorde) in thy wrath, lyft vp thy selfe ouer the furyous indygnacyon of myne enemyes: aryse vp (for me) in the vengeaunce that thou hast promysed. |
| 7:7 | That the congregacion of the people maye come about the, for their sakes therfore lyfte vp thy selfe agayne. |
| 7:8 | The Lord is iudge ouer the people: auenge me then (O Lord) accordynge to my ryghtuousnes and innocency. |
| 7:9 | Oh let the wickednes of the vngodly come to an ende: but maynteyne the iust, thou rightuous God, that triest the very hertes and the reynes. |
| 7:10 | My helpe commeth of God, which preserueth them that are true of herte. |
| 7:11 | God is a ryghtuous iudge, and God is euer threatnynge, |
| 7:12 | If men wyll not turne, he hath whette his swearde: he hath bent his bowe and made it ready. |
| 7:13 | He hath prepared hym the weapens of death, & ordeined his arrowes to be destroied. |
| 7:14 | Beholde, he trauyleth wyth mischefe, he hath conceaued vnhappinesse, and broughte forth a lye. |
| 7:15 | He hath grauen & digged vp a pyt, but he shall fall hym selfe into the pitte that he hath made. |
| 7:16 | For hys vnhappinesse shall come vpon hys owne head, and hys wyckednes shal fal vpon hys owne pate. |
| 7:17 | As for me, I wyll geue thankes vnto the Lorde for hys ryghtuousnes sake, and wyll prayse the name of the Lorde the most hyest. |
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.
