Psalmorum 127
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Canticum graduum. [Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
1Except 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 to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD : and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the 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 ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
6Et videas filios filiorum tuorum: pacem super Israël.]
