< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to you all glory should be given, because of your trustworthy love and faithfulness.
Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
2 Why should the heathen nations ask, “Where is your God?”
On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
4 Their idols are just things of silver and gold made by human hands.
The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
5 They have mouths, but can't speak. They have eyes, but can't see.
Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
6 They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but can't smell.
Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
7 They have hands, but can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.
Tho han hondis, and schulen not grope; tho han feet, and schulen not go; tho schulen not crye in her throte.
8 Those who make idols become just like them, and so does everyone who trusts in them.
Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
9 Israel, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.
10 Descendants of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
11 Those who honor the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
12 The Lord keeps us in mind and will be good to us. He will bless Israel, he will bless the descendants of Aaron.
The Lord was myndeful of vs; and blesside vs. He blesside the hous of Israel; he blesside the hous of Aaron.
13 The Lord will bless all those who worship him, whoever they are.
He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere.
14 May the Lord be good to you, you and your children.
The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth.
Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
16 The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.
Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.
17 The dead do not praise the Lord, those who have gone down into the silence of the grave.
Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle.
18 But we the living will always praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
