1 A gradual Canticle of Salomon: VNLESSE our Lord build the house, they haue laboured in vayne that build it. Vnlesse our Lord kepe the citie, he watcheth in vayne that kepeth it.
2 It is vaine for you to rise before light: rise ye after ye haue sitten, which eate the bread of sorow.
3 When he shal giue sleepe to his beloued: behold the inheritance of our Lord are children: the reward, the fruite of the wombe.
4 As arrowes in the hand of the mightie: so are the children of them that are shaken.
5 Blessed is the man that hath filled his desire of them: he shal not be confounded when he shal speake to his enemies in the gate.
