Psalmorum 115
1 NON NOBIS DOMINE, NON NOBIS: sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto 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?
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 Deus autem noster in caelo: omnia quaecumque voluit, fecit.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever 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 a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 Aures habent, et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt.
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7 Manus habent, et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: non clamabunt in gutture suo.
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 Domus Israel speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 Domus Aaron speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 Qui timent Dominum, speraverunt in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12 Dominus memor fuit nostri: et benedixit nobis: Benedixit domui Israel: benedixit domui Aaron.
Jehovah hath 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 them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 Adiiciat Dominus super vos: super vos, et super filios vestros.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit caelum, et terram.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 Caelum caeli Domino: terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 Non mortui laudabunt te Domine: neque omnes, qui descendunt in infernum. (questioned)
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 Sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
