Psalms 115
1 Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
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 they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord was myndeful of vs; and blesside vs. He blesside the hous of Israel; he blesside the hous of Aaron.
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle.
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
