Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
Non nobis Domine, non nobis: sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
2 For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: nequando dicant Gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
3 But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
Deus autem noster in cælo: omnia quæcumque voluit, fecit.
4 The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
Simulacra gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
5 They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
6 They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.
Aures habent, et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt.
7 They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.
Manus habent, et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: non clamabunt in gutture suo.
8 Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.
Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
9 The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
Domus Israel speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
10 The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
Domus Aaron speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
11 They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
Qui timent Dominum, speraverunt in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.
12 The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
Dominus memor fuit nostri: et benedixit nobis: Benedixit domui Israel: benedixit domui Aaron.
13 He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.
Benedixit omnibus, qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum maioribus.
14 May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.
Adiiciat Dominus super vos: super vos, et super filios vestros.
15 Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit cælum, et terram.
16 The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.
Cælum cæli Domino: terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
17 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. (questioned)
Non mortui laudabunt te Domine: neque omnes, qui descendunt in infernum. (questioned)
18 But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
Sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
