Psalms 115

NEW JERUSALEM	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give the glory, for your faithful love and yourconstancy!	1 Ebbi fede, e per questo parlai, ma ero oltremodo umiliato,
2 Why should the nations ask, 'Where is their God?'	2 E dicevo nel mio smarrimento: « Ogni uomo è menzognero ».
3 Our God is in heaven, he creates whatever he chooses.	3 Che renderò al Signore per tanti benefizi che mi ha fatto?
4 They have idols of silver and gold, made by human hands.	4 Prenderò il calice della salute e invocherò il nome del Signore.
5 These have mouths but say nothing, have eyes but see nothing,	5 I voti da me fatti al Signore li scioglierò alla presenza di tutto il suo popolo.
6 have ears but hear nothing, have noses but smel nothing.	6 E' preziosa al cospetto del Signore la morte dei suoi santi.
7 They have hands but cannot feel, have feet but cannot walk, no sound comes from their throats.	7 O Signore, io sono il tuo servo, tuo servo e figlio della tua ancella.
8 Their makers wil end up like them, and al who rely on them.	8 Tu hai spezzate le mie catene: a te sacrificherò l'ostia di lode, invocando il nome del Signore.
9 House of Israel, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.	9 Scioglierò i miei voti al Signore, in presenza di tutto il suo popolo,
10 House of Aaron, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.	10 Negli atrii della casa del Signore, in mezzo a te, o Gerusalemme.
11 You who fear Yahweh, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh wil keep us in mind, he will bless, he wil bless the House of Israel, he wil bless the Houseof Aaron,
13 he wil bless those who fear Yahweh, small and great alike.
14 May Yahweh add to your numbers, yours and your children's too!
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 Heaven belongs to Yahweh, but earth he has given to the children of Adam.
17 The dead cannot praise Yahweh, those who sink into silence,
18 but we, the living, shal bless Yahweh, henceforth and for ever.
