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 caelo omnia quaecumque 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 odorabuntur
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 Israhel speravit in Domino adiutor eorum et protector eorum est
Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
10 domus Aaron speravit in Domino adiutor eorum et protector eorum est
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
11 qui timent Dominum speraverunt in Domino adiutor 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 Israhel 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 maioribus
He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
14 adiciat Dominus super vos super vos et super filios vestros
May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
15 benedicti vos Domino qui fecit caelum et terram
May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 caelum caeli 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 saeculum
But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
