Psalms 115
1 Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
Not for our sake, O Lord, not for our sake, but unto thy name give glory, for the sake of thy kindness, for the sake of thy truth.
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 now is their God?
3 Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
Whereas our God is in the heavens: whatsoever he desireth hath he done.
4 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
Their idols are sliver and gold, the work of the hands of man.
5 Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
A mouth they have, but speak not; eyes they have, but see not;
6 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
Ears they have, but hear not; a nose they have, but 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, but they touch not; they have feet, but they walk not: nor do they give any utterance by their throat.
8 Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth 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—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.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord—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 the Lord, trust ye in the Lord—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.
The Lord hath even been mindful of us, he will bless [us]; 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 those that fear the Lord, the small together with the great.
14 The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
May the Lord increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.
The heavens are the heavens of the Lord; 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.
Not the dead can praise the Lord, nor all those that go down into the silence [of death].
18 But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
But as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah.
