Psalms 135

1 Alleluya. Herie ye the name of the Lord; ye seruauntis of the Lord, herie ye.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.

2 Ye that stonden in the hous of the Lord; in the hallis of `the hous of oure God.

Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes 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.

Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

4 For the Lord chees Jacob to him silf; Israel in to possessioun to him silf.

For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.

5 For Y haue knowe, that the Lord is greet; and oure God bifore alle goddis.

For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue 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.

Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the 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 bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.

8 which killide the firste gendrid thingis of Egipt, fro man `til to beeste.

He smote the first borne of Egypt both of 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 hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

10 Which smoot many folkis; and killide stronge kingis.

He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

11 Seon, the king of Ammorreis, and Og, the king of Basan; and alle the rewmes of Chanaan.

As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:

12 And he yaf the lond of hem eritage; eritage to Israel, his puple.

And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.

13 Lord, thi name is with outen ende; Lord, thi memorial be in generacioun and in to generacioun.

Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.

14 For the Lord schal deme his puple; and he schal be preied in hise seruauntis.

For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

15 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of the hondis of men.

The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.

16 Tho han a 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.

17 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; for `nether spirit is in the mouth of tho.

They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.

18 Thei that maken tho, be maad lijk tho; and alle that tristen in tho.

They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

19 The hous of Israel, blesse ye the Lord; the hous of Aaron, blesse ye the Lord.

Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

20 The hous of Leuy, blesse ye the Lord; ye that dreden the Lord, `blesse ye the Lord.

Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

21 Blessid be the Lord of Syon; that dwellith in Jerusalem.

Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
