< Psalmorum 115 >

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