Salmi 128

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Canticum ascensionum. Beatus omnis, qui timet Dominum, qui ambulat in viis eius.	1 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.
2 Labores manuum tuarum manducabis, beatus es, et bene tibi erit.	2 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,
3 Uxor tua sicut vitis fructifera in lateribus domus tuae; filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.	3 behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
4 Ecce sic benedicetur homo, qui timet Dominum.	4 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
5 Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Ierusalem omnibus diebus vitae tuae;	5 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.
6 et videas filios filiorum tuorum. Pax super Israel!
