Psalmorum 115
1 NON NOBIS DOMINE, NON NOBIS: sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for 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 caelo: omnia quaecumque voluit, fecit.
But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
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. They have eyes, but they see not.
6 Aures habent, et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt.
They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, 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 through their throat.
8 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Domus Israel speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. 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 Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
11 Qui timent Dominum, speraverunt in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
12 Dominus memor fuit nostri: et benedixit nobis: Benedixit domui Israel: benedixit domui Aaron.
Jehovah has 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 maioribus.
He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
14 Adiiciat Dominus super vos: super vos, et super filios vestros.
Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
15 Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit caelum, et terram.
Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
16 Caelum caeli Domino: terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17 Non mortui laudabunt te Domine: neque omnes, qui descendunt in infernum. (questioned)
The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
18 Sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.
but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
