Translationthose who built it have laboured in vain./ Unless the lord watch over the city:/ he who guards it watches in vain./ It is worthless for you to rise before light:/ rise after you have sat/ you who ate the bread of sorrow./ When he shall give sleep to his beloved:/ behold the inheritance of the lord are children the reward the fruit of the womb./ As arrows in the hand of the mighty:/ so are the children of them that have been shaken./Blessed is the man who has filled his desire with them: he shall not be thrown into confusion when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate./ Psalm 127 For you shall eat the labours of your hands BLESSED ARE ALL/ who fear the lord:/ who walk in his ways./ Because you shall/ eat the labours/ of your hands: blessed are you/ and it shall be well with you./ |

Transcriptionin vanum laboraverunt qui [a]edificant eam. / Nisi d[omi]n[u]s custodierit civitatem: / frustra vigilat qui custodit eam. / Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere: / surgite postquam sederitis / q[u]i manducatis pane[m] doloris. / Cu[m] dederit dilectis suis somnu[m]: / ecce h[a]ereditas d[omi]ni filii merces fructu[s] ventris. / Sicut sagitt[a]e in manu potentis: / ita filii excussor[um]. / Beat[us] vir q[u]i implebit desideriu[m] suu[m] ex ipsis: n[on] / confundetur eu[m] loquetur inimicis suis in porta. /Labores manuum tuar[um] quia manducibus BEATI OM[NE]S M[EU]s / qui timent d[omi]n[u]m: / q[u]i ambulant in viis ei[us]. / Labores manuu[m] / tuaru[m] q[u]ia mandu/cabis: beat[us] es et / bene tibi erit. / |
