Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Canticum graduum Salomonis. [Nisi Dominus ædificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui ædificant eam. Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem, frustra vigilat qui custodit eam.
1A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.
2Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere: surgite postquam sederitis, qui manducatis panem doloris. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum,
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'
3ecce hæreditas Domini, filii; merces, fructus ventris.
3The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.
4Sicut sagittæ in manu potentis, ita filii excussorum.
4Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.
5Beatus vir qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis: non confundetur cum loquetur inimicis suis in porta.]
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
no verse 6 in this text
6Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.
