Psalms 115 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

115:1
לֹ֤א לָ֥נוּ יְהֹוָ֗ה לֹ֫א־לָ֥נוּ כִּֽי־לְ֭שִׁמְךָ תֵּ֣ן כָּב֑וֹד עַל־חַ֝סְדְּךָ֗ עַל־אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
μὴ ἡμῖν κύριε μὴ ἡμῖν ἀλλ’ ἢ τῷ ὀνόματί σου δὸς δόξαν ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam :
—
Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
115:2
לָ֭מָּה יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגּוֹיִ֑ם אַיֵּה־נָ֝֗א אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃
μήποτε εἴπωσιν τὰ ἔθνη ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν
super misericordia tua et veritate tua ; nequando dicant gentes : Ubi est Deus eorum ?
—
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
115:3
וֵאלֹהֵ֥ינוּ בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵ֣ץ עָשָֽׂה׃
ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα ὅσα ἠθέλησεν ἐποίησεν
Deus autem noster in caelo ; omnia quaecumque voluit fecit.
—
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
115:4
עֲֽ֭צַבֵּיהֶם כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃
τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων
Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
—
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
115:5
פֶּֽה־לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ עֵינַ֥יִם לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֽוּ׃
στόμα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται
Os habent, et non loquentur ; oculos habent, et non videbunt.
—
They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
115:6
אׇזְנַ֣יִם לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יִשְׁמָ֑עוּ אַ֥ף לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יְרִיחֽוּן׃
ὦτα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσονται ῥῖνας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται
Aures habent, et non audient ; nares habent, et non odorabunt.
—
They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
115:7
יְדֵיהֶ֤ם׀ וְלֹ֬א יְמִישׁ֗וּן רַ֭גְלֵיהֶם וְלֹ֣א יְהַלֵּ֑כוּ לֹא־יֶ֝הְגּ֗וּ בִּגְרוֹנָֽם׃
χεῖρας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσιν πόδας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν
Manus habent, et non palpabunt ; pedes habent, et non ambulabunt ; non clamabunt in gutture suo.
—
They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
115:8
כְּ֭מוֹהֶם יִהְי֣וּ עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵ֣חַ בָּהֶֽם׃
ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς
Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
—
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
115:9
יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל בְּטַ֣ח בַּיהֹוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃
οἶκος Ισραηλ ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ κύριον βοηθὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν
Domus Israël speravit in Domino ; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
—
Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:10
בֵּ֣ית אַ֭הֲרֹן בִּטְח֣וּ בַיהֹוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃
οἶκος Ααρων ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ κύριον βοηθὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν
Domus Aaron speravit in Domino ; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
ሀሌሉያ ። አመ ፡ ይወፅኡ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ እምግብጽ ፤ ወቤተ ፡ ያዕቆብ ፡ እምሕዝበ ፡ ፀር ።
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:11
יִרְאֵ֣י יְ֭הֹוָה בִּטְח֣וּ בַיהֹוָ֑ה עֶזְרָ֖ם וּמָגִנָּ֣ם הֽוּא׃
οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ κύριον βοηθὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν
Qui timent Dominum speraverunt in Domino ; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
ወኮነ ፡ ይሁዳ ፡ መቅደሶ ፤ ወእስራኤልኒ ፡ ምኵናኖ ።
You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:12
יְהֹוָה֮ זְכָרָ֢נוּ יְבָ֫רֵ֥ךְ יְ֭בָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְ֝בָרֵ֗ךְ אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אַהֲרֹֽן׃
κύριος ἐμνήσθη ἡμῶν καὶ εὐλόγησεν ἡμᾶς εὐλόγησεν τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ εὐλόγησεν τὸν οἶκον Ααρων
Dominus memor fuit nostri, et benedixit nobis. Benedixit domui Israël ; benedixit domui Aaron.
ባሕርኒ ፡ ርእየት ፡ ወጐየት ፤ ወዮርዳኖስኒ ፡ ገብአ ፡ ድኅሬሁ ።
Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
115:13
יְ֭בָרֵךְ יִרְאֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֑ה הַ֝קְּטַנִּ֗ים עִם־הַגְּדֹלִֽים׃
εὐλόγησεν τοὺς φοβουμένους τὸν κύριον τοὺς μικροὺς μετὰ τῶν μεγάλων
Benedixit omnibus qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum majoribus.
ወአድባር ፡ አንፈርዐጹ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሐራጊት ፤ ወአውግርኒ ፡ ከመ ፡ መሓስአ ፡ አባግዕ ፤
He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
115:14
יֹסֵ֣ף יְהֹוָ֣ה עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם עֲ֝לֵיכֶ֗ם וְעַל־בְּנֵיכֶֽם׃
προσθείη κύριος ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν
Adjiciat Dominus super vos, super vos et super filios vestros.
ምንተ ፡ ኮንኪ ፡ ባሕር ፡ ዘጐየይኪ ፤ ወአንተኒ ፡ ዮርዳኖስ ፡ ዘገባእከ ፡ ድኅሬከ ።
May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
115:15
בְּרוּכִ֣ים אַ֭תֶּם לַיהֹוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃
εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ ποιήσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν
Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit caelum et terram.
ወአድባር ፡ ዘአንፈርዐጽክሙ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሐራጊት ፤ ወአውግርኒ ፡ ከመ ፡ መሓስአ ፡ አባግዕ ፤
Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
115:16
הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם שָׁ֭מַיִם לַיהֹוָ֑ה וְ֝הָאָ֗רֶץ נָתַ֥ן לִבְנֵי־אָדָֽם׃
ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ τὴν δὲ γῆν ἔδωκεν τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
Caelum caeli Domino ; terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
እምቅድመ ፡ ገጹ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ አድለቅለቀት ፡ ምድር ፤ እምቅድመ ፡ ገጹ ፡ ለአምላከ ፡ ያዕቆብ ።
The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
115:17
לֹ֣א הַ֭מֵּתִים יְהַֽלְלוּ־יָ֑הּ וְ֝לֹ֗א כׇּל־יֹרְדֵ֥י דוּמָֽה׃
οὐχ οἱ νεκροὶ αἰνέσουσίν σε κύριε οὐδὲ πάντες οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς ᾅδου
Non mortui laudabunt te, Domine, neque omnes qui descendunt in infernum :
ዘይሬስያ ፡ ለኰኵሕ ፡ አንቅዕተ ፡ ማያት ፤ ወለእዝኅ ፡ ዐዘቃተ ፡ ማያት ።
The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who go down into silence,
115:18
וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ׀ נְבָ֘רֵ֤ךְ יָ֗הּ מֵעַתָּ֥ה וְעַד־עוֹלָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ {פ}
ἀλλ’ ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες εὐλογήσομεν τὸν κύριον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος
sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.
