< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, for your loving kindness and for your faithfulness.
Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
6 They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.
Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
7 They have hands, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
Tho han hondis, and schulen not grope; tho han feet, and schulen not go; tho schulen not crye in her throte.
8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
9 Israel, trust in the LORD. He is their help and their shield.
The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.
10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD. He is their help and their shield.
The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD. He is their help and their shield.
Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
12 The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
The Lord was myndeful of vs; and blesside vs. He blesside the hous of Israel; he blesside the hous of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere.
14 May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
15 Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.
Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.
17 The dead do not praise the LORD, neither any who go down into silence;
Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle.
18 But we will bless the LORD, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD.
But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
