Psalms 135
1 Alleluya. Herie ye the name of the Lord; ye seruauntis of the Lord, herie ye.
Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
2 Ye that stonden in the hous of the Lord; in the hallis of `the hous of oure God.
Ye 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.
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 For the Lord chees Jacob to him silf; Israel in to possessioun to him silf.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 For Y haue knowe, that the Lord is greet; and oure God bifore alle goddis.
I know that the LORD is great; That 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.
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.
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 causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
8 which killide the firste gendrid thingis of Egipt, fro man `til to beeste.
He smote the first-born 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 sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
10 Which smoot many folkis; and killide stronge kingis.
He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
11 Seon, the king of Ammorreis, and Og, the king of Basan; and alle the rewmes of Chanaan.
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
12 And he yaf the lond of hem eritage; eritage to Israel, his puple.
And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to 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 ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 For the Lord schal deme his puple; and he schal be preied in hise seruauntis.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath 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, The work of men's hands.
16 Tho han a 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.
17 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; for `nether spirit is in the mouth of tho.
They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Thei that maken tho, be maad lijk tho; and alle that tristen in tho.
They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 The hous of Israel, blesse ye the Lord; the hous of Aaron, blesse ye the Lord.
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 The hous of Leuy, blesse ye the Lord; ye that dreden the Lord, `blesse ye the Lord.
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Blessid be the Lord of Syon; that dwellith in Jerusalem.
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
