Psalmorum 115
1 non nobis Domine non nobis sed nomini tuo da gloriam
Not for our sake, O Lord, not for our sake, but unto thy name give glory, for the sake of thy kindness, for the sake of thy truth.
2 super misericordia tua et veritate tua nequando dicant gentes ubi est Deus eorum
Wherefore should the nations say, Where now is their God?
3 Deus autem noster in caelo omnia quaecumque voluit fecit
Whereas our God is in the heavens: whatsoever he desireth hath he done.
4 simulacra gentium argentum et aurum opera manuum hominum
Their idols are sliver and gold, the work of the hands of man.
5 os habent et non loquentur oculos habent et non videbunt
A mouth they have, but speak not; eyes they have, but see not;
6 aures habent et non audient nares habent et non odorabuntur
Ears they have, but hear not; a nose they have, but smell not.
7 manus habent et non palpabunt pedes habent et non ambulabunt non clamabunt in gutture suo
They have hands, but they touch not; they have feet, but they walk not: nor do they give any utterance by their throat.
8 similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea et omnes qui confidunt in eis
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
9 domus Israhel speravit in Domino adiutor 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 adiutor 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 adiutor eorum et protector eorum est
Ye that fear the Lord, trust ye 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 hath even 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 those that fear the Lord, the small together with the great.
14 adiciat Dominus super vos super vos et super filios vestros
May the Lord increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 benedicti vos Domino qui fecit caelum et terram
Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 caelum caeli Domino terram autem dedit filiis hominum
The heavens are the heavens of the Lord; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 non mortui laudabunt te Domine neque omnes qui descendunt in infernum (questioned)
Not the dead can praise the Lord, nor all those that go down into the silence [of death].
18 sed nos qui vivimus benedicimus Domino ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum
But as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah.
