Psalms 66:10–12

¹⁰Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

^10‖Behold, I haue refined thee, but not with siluer; I haue chosen thee in the fornace of affliction.

³Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

³Thou hast prooued mine heart, thou hast visited me in the night, thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing: I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgresse.

⁶Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

⁷That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

⁶Wherin ye greatly reioyce, though now for a season (if neede bee) yee are in heauinesse through manifolde temptations:

⁷That the triall of your faith, being much more precious then of golde that perisheth, though it bee tryed with fire, might be found vnto praise, and honor, and glory, at the appearing of Iesus Christ:

³The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

^3*The fining pot is for siluer, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

¹⁰But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

¹⁰But he knoweth ^†the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

⁹And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

^9*And I will bring the thirde part through the fire, and wil refine them as siluer is refined, & will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my Name, and I wil heare them: I wil say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

³Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

³Thou shalt not hearken vnto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreames: for the LORD your God prooueth you, to know whether you loue the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soule.

¹⁶Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

¹⁶Who fed thee in the wildernesse with ^*Manna, which thy fathers knew not, that hee might humble thee, and that hee might prooue thee, to doe thee good at thy latter end:)

²And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

²And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these fourtie yeeres in the wildernesse, to humble thee, and to proue thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements, or no.

¹³From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.

¹³From aboue hath he sent fire into my bones, and it preuaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feete, he hath turned me backe: he hath made me desolate, and faint all the day.

¹³My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

^13*My net also will I spread vpon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I wil bring him to Babylon to the land of the Caldeans, yet shall hee not see it, though he shall die there.

¹²When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

¹²When they shall goe, I wil spread my net vpon them, I will bring them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastise them as their congregation hath heard.

⁶Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

⁶Know now that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.

¹¹Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

¹¹Blesse, LORD, his substance, and accept the worke of his handes, smite thorow the loines of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not againe.

²He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.

³Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.

⁴My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

⁵He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

⁶He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.

⁷He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

⁸Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

⁹He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

¹⁰He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

¹¹He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.

¹²He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

¹³He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.

¹⁴I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.

¹⁵He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.

¹⁶He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.

¹⁷And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.

¹⁸And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:

¹⁹Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

²⁰My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

²¹This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

²²¶ It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

²³They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

²⁴The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

²⁵The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

²⁶It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

²⁷It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

²⁸He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

²⁹He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

³⁰He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

³¹For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

³²But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

³³For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

³⁴To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

³⁵To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

³⁶To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

³⁷¶ Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

³⁸Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

³⁹Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

⁴⁰Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.

⁴¹Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

⁴²We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

⁴³Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

⁴⁴Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

⁴⁵Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

⁴⁶All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

⁴⁷Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

⁴⁸Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴⁹Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

⁵⁰Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.

⁵¹Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.

⁵²Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.

⁵³They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

⁵⁴Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.

⁵⁵¶ I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.

⁵⁶Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

⁵⁷Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

⁵⁸O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

⁵⁹O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

⁶⁰Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

⁶¹Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;

⁶²The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

⁶³Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

⁶⁴¶ Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.

⁶⁵Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.

⁶⁶Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.

²He hath led me and brought mee into darkenesse, but not into light.

³Surely against me is he turned, he turneth his hand against me all the day.

⁴My flesh and my skinne hath he made old, he hath broken my bones.

⁵He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and trauel.

⁶He hath set me in darke places, as they that be dead of old.

⁷He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: hee hath made my chaine heauie.

⁸Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

⁹Hee hath inclosed my wayes with hewen stone: he hath made my pathes crooked.

¹⁰He was vnto me as a Beare lying in waite, and as a Lion in secret places.

¹¹Hee hath turned aside my wayes, and pulled me in pieces: hee hath made me desolate.

¹²He hath bent his bow, and set me as a marke for the arrow.

^13†Hee hath caused the arrowes of his quiuer to enter into my reines.

^14*I was a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.

^15†Hee hath filled me with bitternesse, hee hath made me drunken with wormewood.

^16‖He hath also broken my teeth with grauell stones, hee hath couered me with ashes.

^17†And thou hast remoued my soule farre off from peace: I forgate prosperitie.

¹⁸And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:

^19‖Remembring mine affliction and my miserie, the wormewood & the gall.

^20†My soule hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

^21†This I recall to my mind, therefore haue I hope.

²²¶ It is of the LORDs mercies that wee are not consumed, because his compassions faile not.

²³ They are newe euery morning: great is thy faithfulnesse.

^24*The LORD is my portion, sayth my soule, therefore will I hope in him.

²⁵The LORD is good vnto them that waite for him, to the soule that seeketh him.

²⁶ It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the saluation of the LORD.

²⁷ It is good for a man that he beare the yoke in his youth.

²⁸Hee sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because hee hath borne it vpon him.

²⁹He putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.

³⁰Hee giueth his cheeke to him that smiteth him, hee is filled full with reproch.

³¹For the LORD will not cast off for euer.

³²But though hee cause griefe, yet will hee haue compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

^33†For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieue the children of men.

³⁴To crush vnder his feete all the prisoners of the earth,

^35‖To turne aside the right of a man before the face of the most high,

^36‖To subuert a man in his cause, the LORD approoueth not.

³⁷¶ ^*Who is hee that sayth, and it commeth to passe, when the LORD commandeth it not?

^38*Out of the mouth of the most hie proceedeth not euill and good?

^39‖Wherefore doeth a liuing man complaine, a man for the punishment of his sinnes?

⁴⁰Let vs search and try our waies, and turne againe to the LORD.

⁴¹Let vs lift vp our heart with our hands vnto God in the heauens.

⁴²We haue transgressed, and haue rebelled, thou hast not pardoned.

⁴³Thou hast couered with anger, and persecuted vs: thou hast slaine, thou hast not pitied.

⁴⁴Thou hast couered thy selfe with a cloud, that our prayer should not passe through.

^45*Thou hast made vs as the offscouring and refuse in the middest of the people.

⁴⁶All our enemies haue opened their mouthes against vs.

^47*Feare and a snare is come vpon vs, desolation and destruction.

⁴⁸Mine eye runneth downe with riuers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴⁹Mine eye trickleth downe and ceaseth not, without any intermission:

⁵⁰Till the LORD looke downe, and behold from heauen.

^51†‖Mine eye affecteth mine heart, because of all the daughters of my city.

⁵²Mine enemies chased me sore like a bird, without cause.

⁵³They haue cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone vpon me.

⁵⁴Waters flowed ouer mine head, then I sayd, I am cut off.

⁵⁵¶ I called vpon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.

⁵⁶Thou hast heard my voice, hide not thine eare at my breathing, at my crie.

⁵⁷Thou drewest neere in the day that I called vpon thee: thou saidst, Feare not.

⁵⁸O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soule, thou hast redeemed my life.

⁵⁹O LORD, thou hast seene my wrong, iudge thou my cause.

⁶⁰Thou hast seene all their vengeance; and all their imaginations against me.

⁶¹Thou hast heard their reproch, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me:

⁶²The lippes of those that rose vp against me, and their deuice against me all the day.

⁶³Behold, their sitting downe and their rising vp, I am their musicke.

⁶⁴¶ Render vnto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the worke of their hands.

^65‖Giue them sorrow of heart, thy curse vnto them.

^66*Persecute and destroy them in anger, from vnder the heauens of the LORD.

¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

¹³And lead vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from euill: For thine is the kingdome, and the power, and the glory, for euer, Amen.

¹BUT now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

²When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

¹¶ But now thus sayeth the LORD that created thee, O Iacob, and hee that formed thee, O Israel; Feare not: for I haue redeemed thee, I haue called thee by thy name, thou art mine.

²³But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

²³But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee: which haue said to thy soule, Bow downe that wee may goe ouer: and thou hast laide thy body as the ground, and as the streete to them that went ouer.

¹¹Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

¹¹Beholde, wee count them happie which endure. Ye haue heard of the patience of Iob, and haue seene the end of the Lord: that the Lord is very pitifull and of tender mercie.

²He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

³And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

¹⁴And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

¹⁶They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

¹⁷For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

¹⁶Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.

¹⁶Euen so would he haue remooued thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitnesse, and ^†that which should be set on thy table, should be full of fatnesse.
