Psalmorum 115
1 Non nobis Domine, non nobis: sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
Not for our sake, O Lord, not for our sake, but unto thy name give glory, for the sake of thy kindness, for the sake of thy truth.
2 Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: nequando dicant Gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
Wherefore should the nations say, Where now is their God?
3 Deus autem noster in cælo: omnia quæcumque voluit, fecit.
Whereas our God is in the heavens: whatsoever he desireth hath he done.
4 Simulacra gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
Their idols are sliver and gold, the work of the hands of man.
5 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
A mouth they have, but speak not; eyes they have, but see not;
6 Aures habent, et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt.
Ears they have, but hear not; a nose they have, but smell not.
7 Manus habent, et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: non clamabunt in gutture suo.
They have hands, but they touch not; they have feet, but they walk not: nor do they give any utterance by their throat.
8 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
9 Domus Israel speravit in Domino: adiutor 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: adiutor 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: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
Ye that fear the Lord, trust ye in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.
12 Dominus memor fuit nostri: et benedixit nobis: Benedixit domui Israel: benedixit domui Aaron.
The Lord hath even been mindful of us, he will bless [us]; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 Benedixit omnibus, qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum maioribus.
He will bless those that fear the Lord, the small together with the great.
14 Adiiciat Dominus super vos: super vos, et super filios vestros.
May the Lord increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit cælum, et terram.
Blessed are 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)
Not the dead can praise the Lord, nor all those that go down into the silence [of death].
18 Sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
But as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah.
