Deliver Me from Lying Lips

¹A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

²Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

³What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

⁴It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

⁵Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

⁶My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

⁷I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.

Eyes Lifted to the Hills and the Lord Who Keeps

¹A song of degrees. I will lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe shall come.

²Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hath made the heauen and the earth.

³He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber.

⁴Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe.

⁵The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.

⁶The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night.

⁷The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule.

⁸The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

¹A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

²Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

³Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

⁴Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

⁵For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

⁶Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

⁷Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

⁸For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

⁹Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

The Good News Proclaimed by the Anointed One

¹The Spirit of the Lord God is vpon mee, therefore hath the Lord anoynted mee: hee hath sent mee to preache good tidings vnto the poore, to binde vp the broken hearted, to preach libertie to the captiues, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison,

²To preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourne,

³To appoint vnto them that mourne in Zion, and to giue vnto them beautie for ashes, the oyle of ioye for mourning, the garment of gladnesse for the spirit of heauinesse, that they might be called trees of righteousnesse, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

⁴And they shall builde the olde waste places, and raise vp the former desolations, and they shall repaire the cities that were desolate and waste through many generations.

⁵And the strangers shall stande and feede your sheepe, and the sonnes of the strangers shall be your plowmen and dressers of your vines.

⁶But ye shall be named the Priestes of the Lord, and men shall say vnto you, The ministers of our God, Ye shall eate the riches of the Gentiles, and shalbe exalted with their glorie.

⁷For your shame you shall receiue double, and for confusion they shall reioyce in their portion: for in their lande they shall possesse the double: euerlasting ioy shall be vnto them.

⁸For I the Lord loue iudgement and hate robberie for burnt offering, and I wil direct their worke in trueth, and will make an euerlasting couenant with them.

⁹And their seede shall be knowen among the Gentiles, and their buddes among the people. All that see them, shall know them, that they are the seede which the Lord hath blessed.

¹⁰I will greatly reioyce in the Lord, and my soule shall be ioyfull in my God: for he hath clothed mee with the garments of saluation, and couered me with the robe of righteousnes: hee hath decked me like a bridegrome, and as a bride tireth herselfe with her iewels.

¹¹For as the earth bringeth foorth her bud, and as the garden causeth to growe that which is sowen in it: so the Lord God will cause righteousnesse to grow and praise before all the heathen.

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

¹Then hee entred into a shippe, and passed ouer, and came into his owne citie.

²And loe, they brought to him a man sicke of the palsie, laid on a bed. And Iesus seeing their faith, saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, be of good comfort: thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.

³And beholde, certaine of the Scribes saide with themselues, This man blasphemeth.

⁴But when Iesus saw their thoughts, he said, Wherefore thinke yee euil things in your hearts?

⁵For whether is it easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Arise, and walke?

⁶And that ye may knowe that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (then saide he vnto the sicke of the palsie,) Arise, take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house.

⁷And hee arose, and departed to his owne house.

⁸So when the multitude sawe it, they marueiled, and glorified God, which had giuen such authoritie to men.

Jesus Calls Matthew the Tax Collector

⁹And as Iesus passed foorth from thence, hee sawe a man sitting at the custome, named Matthewe, and saide to him, Followe me. And he arose, and followed him.

¹⁰And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at meate in his house, beholde, many Publicanes and sinners, that came thither, sate downe at the table with Iesus and his disciples.

¹¹And when the Pharises sawe that, they saide to his disciples, Why eateth your master with Publicanes and sinners?

¹²Nowe when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole neede not a Physition, but they that are sicke.

¹³But goe yee and learne what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.

A Question About Fasting

¹⁴Then came the disciples of Iohn to him, saying, Why doe we and the Pharises fast oft, and thy disciples fast not?

¹⁵And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the marriage chamber mourne as long as the bridegrome is with them? But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

¹⁶Moreouer no man pieceth an olde garment with a piece of newe cloth: for that that should fill it vp, taketh away from the garment, and the breach is worse.

¹⁷Neither doe they put newe wine into olde vessels: for then the vessels would breake, and the wine woulde be spilt, and the vessels shoulde perish: but they put new wine into newe vessels, and so are both preserued.

Jairus's Daughter and the Bleeding Woman

¹⁸While hee thus spake vnto them, beholde, there came a certaine ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is nowe deceased, but come and laie thine hande on her, and shee shall liue.

¹⁹And Iesus arose and followed him with his disciples.

²⁰(And beholde, a woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeres, came behinde him, and touched the hemme of his garment.

²¹For shee saide in her selfe, If I may touche but his garment onely, I shalbe whole.

²²Then Iesus turned him about, and seeing her, did say, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole at that same moment.)

²³Nowe when Iesus came into the Rulers house, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making noise,

²⁴He said vnto them, Get you hence: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorne.

²⁵And when the multitude were put foorth, hee went in and tooke her by the hande, and the maide arose.

²⁶And this bruite went throughout all that lande.

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

²⁷And as Iesus departed thence, two blinde men followed him, crying, and saying, O sonne of Dauid, haue mercie vpon vs.

²⁸And when hee was come into the house, the blinde came to him, and Iesus saide vnto them, Beleeue yee that I am able to doe this? And they sayd vnto him, Yea, Lord.

²⁹Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it vnto you.

³⁰And their eyes were opened, and Iesus gaue them great charge, saying, See that no man knowe it.

³¹But when they were departed, they spread abroad his fame throughout all that land.

Jesus Heals a Man Unable to Speak

³²And as they went out, beholde, they brought to him a domme man possessed with a deuill.

³³And when the deuill was cast out, the domme spake: then the multitude marueiled, saying, The like was neuer seene in Israel.

³⁴But the Pharises saide, He casteth out deuils, through the prince of deuils.

The Workers Are Few

³⁵And Iesus went about all cities and townes, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdome, and healing euery sickenesse and euery disease among the people.

³⁶But when he saw the multitude, he had compassion vpon them, because they were dispersed, and scattered abroade, as sheepe hauing no shepheard.

³⁷Then saide he to his disciples, Surely the haruest is great, but the labourers are fewe.

³⁸Wherefore pray the Lord of the haruest, that he woulde sende foorth labourers into his haruest.
