Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

Alleluya. Herie ye the name of the Lord; ye seruauntis of the Lord, herie ye.

2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

Ye that stonden in the hous of the Lord; in the hallis of `the hous of oure God.

3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

Herie ye the Lord, for the Lord is good; singe ye to his name, for it is swete.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

For the Lord chees Jacob to him silf; Israel in to possessioun to him silf.

5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

For Y haue knowe, that the Lord is greet; and oure God bifore alle goddis.

6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

The Lord made alle thingis, what euere thingis he wolde, in heuene and in erthe; in the see, and in alle depthis of watris.

7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

He ledde out cloudis fro the ferthest part of erthe; and made leitis in to reyn. Which bringith forth wyndis fro hise tresours;

8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

which killide the firste gendrid thingis of Egipt, fro man `til to beeste.

9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

He sente out signes and grete wondris, in the myddil of thee, thou Egipt; in to Farao and in to alle hise seruauntis.

10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

Which smoot many folkis; and killide stronge kingis.

11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

Seon, the king of Ammorreis, and Og, the king of Basan; and alle the rewmes of Chanaan.

12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

And he yaf the lond of hem eritage; eritage to Israel, his puple.

13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

Lord, thi name is with outen ende; Lord, thi memorial be in generacioun and in to generacioun.

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

For the Lord schal deme his puple; and he schal be preied in hise seruauntis.

15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of the hondis of men.

16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

Tho han a mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.

17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; for `nether spirit is in the mouth of tho.

18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

Thei that maken tho, be maad lijk tho; and alle that tristen in tho.

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

The hous of Israel, blesse ye the Lord; the hous of Aaron, blesse ye the Lord.

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

The hous of Leuy, blesse ye the Lord; ye that dreden the Lord, `blesse ye the Lord.

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

Blessid be the Lord of Syon; that dwellith in Jerusalem.
