Salmos, 115
1. Tive confiança mesmo quando disse: "Estou muito aflito."
1. Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give the glory, for your faithful love and your constancy!
2. Eu disse no meu pavor: "Todo o homem é falaz!"
2. Why should the nations ask, 'Where is their God?'
3. Que darei eu em retribuição ao Senhor, por todos os benefícios que me tem feito?
3. Our God is in heaven, he creates whatever he chooses.
4. Tomarei o cálice da salvação, e invocarei o nome do Senhor.
4. They have idols of silver and gold, made by human hands.
5. Cumprirei os meus votos ao Senhor, diante de todo o seu povo.
5. These have mouths but say nothing, have eyes but see nothing,
6. É preciosa aos olhos do Senhor a morte dos seus santos.
6. have ears but hear nothing, have noses but smell nothing.
7. Ó Senhor, eu sou teu servo, eu sou teu servo e filho da tua escrava: quebraste as minhas cadeias.
7. They have hands but cannot feel, have feet but cannot walk, no sound comes from their throats.
8. Eu te oferecerei um sacrifício de louvor, e invocarei o nome do Senhor.
8. Their makers will end up like them, and all who rely on them.
9. Cumprirei os meus votos ao Senhor, diante de todo o seu povo,
9. House of Israel, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.
10. nos átrios da casa do Senhor, no meio de ti, ó Jerusalém.
10. House of Aaron, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.
11.
11. You who fear Yahweh, rely on Yahweh; he is their help and their shield.
12.
12. Yahweh will keep us in mind, he will bless, he will bless the House of Israel, he will bless the House of Aaron,
13.
13. he will bless those who fear Yahweh, small and great alike.
14.
14. May Yahweh add to your numbers, yours and your children's too!
15.
15. May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16.
16. Heaven belongs to Yahweh, but earth he has given to the children of Adam.
17.
17. The dead cannot praise Yahweh, those who sink into silence,
18.
18. but we, the living, shall bless Yahweh, henceforth and for ever.
