Psalms 115

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.

Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.

2 Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?

On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?

3 But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.

4 Their images 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 no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;

Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.

6 They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;

Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.

7 They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from 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 are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.

Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.

9 O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.

10 O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.

11 You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.

12 The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on 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 send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere.

14 May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.

The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.

15 May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.

16 The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.

Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.

17 The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.

Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle.

18 But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
