< Psalms 115 >

1 Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name. 2 On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem? 3 Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde. 4 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis. 5 Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se. 6 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle. 7 Tho han hondis, and schulen not grope; tho han feet, and schulen not go; tho schulen not crye in her throte. 8 Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho. 9 The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem. 10 The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem. 11 Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem. 12 The Lord was myndeful of vs; and blesside vs. He blesside the hous of Israel; he blesside the hous of Aaron. 13 He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere. 14 The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones. 15 Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe. 16 Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men. 17 Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle. 18 But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
