< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.
Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
2 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?
On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased.
Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold; the work of men's hands.
The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
Tho han hondis, and schulen not grope; tho han feet, and schulen not go; tho schulen not crye in her throte.
8 They that make them are like them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.
Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.
The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.
The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.
Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless [us]; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
The Lord was myndeful of vs; and blesside vs. He blesside the hous of Israel; he blesside the hous of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.
He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere.
14 The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children.
The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
16 The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD.
But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
