< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.
NON NOBIS DOMINE, NON NOBIS: sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
2 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?
Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: nequando dicant Gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
3 But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased.
Deus autem noster in cælo: omnia quæcumque voluit, fecit.
4 Their idols [are] silver and gold; the work of men's hands.
Simulacra gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
Aures habent, et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt.
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
Manus habent, et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: non clamabunt in gutture suo.
8 They that make them are like them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.
Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their 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 their shield.
Domus Aaron speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.
Qui timent Dominum, speraverunt in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
12 The LORD hath been 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 them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.
Benedixit omnibus, qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum maioribus.
14 The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children.
Adiiciat Dominus super vos: super vos, et super filios vestros.
15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit cælum, et terram.
16 The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Cælum cæli Domino: terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
Non mortui laudabunt te Domine: neque omnes, qui descendunt in infernum. (questioned)
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD.
Sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
