Psalms 135

1 Praise ye YHWH. Praise ye the name of YHWH; praise him, O ye servants of YHWH.

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

2 Ye that stand in the house of YHWH, in the courts of the house of our Elohim,

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

3 Praise YHWH; for YHWH is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

Herie ye the Lord, for the Lord is good; singe ye to his name, for it is swete.

4 For YAH hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

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

5 For I know that YHWH is great, and that our YHWH is above all elohim.

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

6 Whatsoever YHWH pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

The Lord made alle thingis, what euere thingis he wolde, in heuene and in erthe; in the see, and in alle depthis of watris.

7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

He ledde out cloudis fro the ferthest part of erthe; and made leitis in to reyn. Which bringith forth wyndis fro hise tresours;

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

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

9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

He sente out signes and grete wondris, in the myddil of thee, thou Egipt; in to Farao and in to alle hise seruauntis.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

Which smoot many folkis; and killide stronge kingis.

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

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

12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

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

13 Thy name, O YHWH, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O YHWH, throughout all generations.

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

14 For YHWH will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

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

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

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

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

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

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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

18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

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

19 Bless YHWH, O house of Israel: bless YHWH, O house of Aaron:

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

20 Bless YHWH, O house of Levi: ye that fear YHWH, bless YHWH.

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

21 Blessed be YHWH out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye YHWH.

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