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 thy truth's sake!
2 super misericordia tua et veritate tua; nequando dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
Why should the nations say, “Where is now their God?”
3 Deus autem noster in cælo; omnia quæcumque voluit fecit.
Our God is in the heavens; He doeth whatever he pleaseth.
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; They have feet, but they walk not; Nor do they speak with their throats.
8 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
They who make them are like unto them; And so is 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 us; 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 will 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 heaven is the LORD'S heaven; But the earth he hath given to the sons of men.
17 Non mortui laudabunt te, Domine, neque omnes qui descendunt in infernum: (questioned)
The dead praise not the LORD, —No one who goeth 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 even for ever! Praise ye the LORD!
