Psalmi 128

VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Canticum graduum. Sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea, dicat nunc Israël ;	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 sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea : etenim non potuerunt mihi.	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 Supra dorsum meum fabricaverunt peccatores ; prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam.	3 behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
4 Dominus justus concidit cervices peccatorum.	4 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
5 Confundantur, et convertantur retrorsum omnes qui oderunt Sion.	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 Fiant sicut f?num tectorum, quod priusquam evellatur exaruit :
7 de quo non implevit manum suam qui metit, et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit.
8 Et non dixerunt qui præteribant : Benedictio Domini super vos. Benediximus vobis in nomine Domini.
