Psalm 126
Psalmus 126
Nisi Dóminus aedificáverit domum, * in vanum laboravérunt qui aedíficant eam.
Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat qui custódit eam.
Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere: * súrgite postquam sedéritis, qui manducátis panem dolóris.
Cum déderit diléctis suis somnum: * ecce heréditas Dómini fílii: merces, fructus ventris.
Sicut sagíttae in manu poténtis: * ita fílii excussórum.
Beátus vir, qui implévit desidérium suum ex ipsis: * non confundétur cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sáecula saeculórum. Amen.
Psalm 126
Unless the Lord build the house, * they labour in vain that build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city, * he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
It is vain for you to rise before light, * rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow.
When he shall give sleep to his beloved, * behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
As arrows in the hand of the mighty, * so the children of them that have been shaken.
Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; * he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
