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 thy name give glory, for thy mercy, 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?
Why should the heathen say, Where is now 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 whatever 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 mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but 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, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
They that make them are like them; so is 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 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 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 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 them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
Ye are blessed 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 heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
