< Psalms 115 >
1 Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
2 On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
3 Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
4 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
5 Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
6 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
7 Tho han hondis, and schulen not grope; tho han feet, and schulen not go; tho schulen not crye in her throte.
They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
8 Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
9 The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
10 The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
11 Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper 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.
The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.
13 He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere.
He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
14 The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
15 Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
16 Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.
The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
17 Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle.
The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
18 But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
