Psalmorum 115
1 Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam:
Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
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 whatever he pleases.
4 Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 Os habent, et non loquentur; oculos habent, et non videbunt.
Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
6 Aures habent, et non audient; nares habent, et non odorabunt.
they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
7 Manus habent, et non palpabunt; pedes habent, et non ambulabunt; non clamabunt in gutture suo.
Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
8 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
9 Domus Israël speravit in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
10 Domus Aaron speravit in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
11 Qui timent Dominum speraverunt in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
12 Dominus memor fuit nostri, et benedixit nobis. Benedixit domui Israël; benedixit domui Aaron.
Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
13 Benedixit omnibus qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum majoribus.
He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
14 Adjiciat Dominus super vos, super vos et super filios vestros.
May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
15 Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 Cælum cæli Domino; terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
17 Non mortui laudabunt te, Domine, neque omnes qui descendunt in infernum: (questioned)
The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
18 sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
