Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
NON NOBIS DOMINE, NON NOBIS: sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: nequando dicant Gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
Deus autem noster in cælo: omnia quæcumque voluit, fecit.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
Simulacra gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
Aures habent, et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt.
7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
Manus habent, et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: non clamabunt in gutture suo.
8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Domus Israel speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Domus Aaron speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Qui timent Dominum, speraverunt in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
12 The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
Dominus memor fuit nostri: et benedixit nobis: Benedixit domui Israel: benedixit domui Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
Benedixit omnibus, qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum maioribus.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
Adiiciat Dominus super vos: super vos, et super filios vestros.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit cælum, et terram.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
Cælum cæli Domino: terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
Non mortui laudabunt te Domine: neque omnes, qui descendunt in infernum. (questioned)
18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
Sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
