Psalms 115
1 Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.
2 On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
3 Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
4 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5 Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
6 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.
7 Tho han hondis, and schulen not grope; tho han feet, and schulen not go; tho schulen not crye in her throte.
They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
8 Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
9 The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.

He has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.

May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.

The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell. (questioned)
18 But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
