Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Canticum graduum. [Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
1A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
2It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.
3Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
3Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
5Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
6Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.]
