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