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 give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.
2 super misericordia tua et veritate tua nequando dicant gentes ubi est Deus eorum
Why should the heathen 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 has 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: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 aures habent et non audient nares habent et non odorabuntur
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: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea et omnes qui confidunt in eis
They that make them are like to them; so is every one that trusts in them.
9 domus Israhel speravit in Domino adiutor eorum et protector eorum est
O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their 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 their shield.
11 qui timent Dominum speraverunt in Domino adiutor eorum et protector eorum est
You 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 Israhel benedixit domui Aaron
The LORD has 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 maioribus
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 adiciat Dominus super vos super vos et super filios vestros
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 benedicti vos Domino qui fecit caelum et terram
You are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
16 caelum caeli Domino terram autem dedit filiis hominum
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth has he given to the children of men.
17 non mortui laudabunt te Domine neque omnes qui descendunt in infernum (questioned)
The dead praise not the LORD, 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 the LORD from this time forth and for ever more. Praise the LORD.
