Psalmorum 115

1 Non nobis Domine, non nobis: sed nomini tuo da gloriam.

Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

2 Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: nequando dicant Gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?

Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?

3 Deus autem noster in cælo: omnia quæcumque voluit, fecit.

When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

4 Simulacra gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.

Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —

5 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.

A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

6 Aures habent, et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt.

Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:

7 Manus habent, et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: non clamabunt in gutture suo.

Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.

8 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis.

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.

9 Domus Israel speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.

O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

10 Domus Aaron speravit in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.

O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

11 Qui timent Dominum, speraverunt in Domino: adiutor eorum et protector eorum est.

Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

12 Dominus memor fuit nostri: et benedixit nobis: Benedixit domui Israel: benedixit domui Aaron.

Yahweh, hath remembered 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 who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

14 Adiiciat Dominus super vos: super vos, et super filios vestros.

Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

15 Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit cælum, et terram.

Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:

16 Cælum cæli Domino: terram autem dedit filiis hominum.

As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.

17 Non mortui laudabunt te Domine: neque omnes, qui descendunt in infernum. (questioned)

The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;

18 Sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
