Psalms 135
1 Alleluya. Herie ye the name of the Lord; ye seruauntis of the Lord, herie ye.
Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
2 Ye that stonden in the hous of the Lord; in the hallis of `the hous of oure God.
who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Herie ye the Lord, for the Lord is good; singe ye to his name, for it is swete.
Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
4 For the Lord chees Jacob to him silf; Israel in to possessioun to him silf.
For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
5 For Y haue knowe, that the Lord is greet; and oure God bifore alle goddis.
For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
6 The Lord made alle thingis, what euere thingis he wolde, in heuene and in erthe; in the see, and in alle depthis of watris.
The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
7 He ledde out cloudis fro the ferthest part of erthe; and made leitis in to reyn. Which bringith forth wyndis fro hise tresours;
He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
8 which killide the firste gendrid thingis of Egipt, fro man `til to beeste.
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
9 He sente out signes and grete wondris, in the myddil of thee, thou Egipt; in to Farao and in to alle hise seruauntis.
He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 Which smoot many folkis; and killide stronge kingis.
He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
11 Seon, the king of Ammorreis, and Og, the king of Basan; and alle the rewmes of Chanaan.
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
12 And he yaf the lond of hem eritage; eritage to Israel, his puple.
He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
13 Lord, thi name is with outen ende; Lord, thi memorial be in generacioun and in to generacioun.
Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
14 For the Lord schal deme his puple; and he schal be preied in hise seruauntis.
For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
15 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of the hondis of men.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
16 Tho han a mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
17 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; for `nether spirit is in the mouth of tho.
they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Thei that maken tho, be maad lijk tho; and alle that tristen in tho.
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
19 The hous of Israel, blesse ye the Lord; the hous of Aaron, blesse ye the Lord.
O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
20 The hous of Leuy, blesse ye the Lord; ye that dreden the Lord, `blesse ye the Lord.
O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Blessid be the Lord of Syon; that dwellith in Jerusalem.
Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
