{{Text|English|
Except the Lord the house doth make,
And thereunto doth set his hand,
What men do build, it cannot stand:
Likewise in vain men undertake
Cities and holds to watch and ward,
Except the Lord be their safeguard.


Though in the morn ye rise early,
And so at night go late to bed.
Eating with carefulness your bread,
Your labour is but vanity:
But they whom God doth love and keep,
Enjoy all things with quiet sleep.


Therefore mark well when ye do see
{{Top}}
That men have hearts t'enjoy their land,
===Church of England 1662 ''Book of Common Prayer''===
It is the gift of God's own hand:
For God doth multiply to thee
Of his great liberality,
The blessing of posterity.
 
And when the children come to age,
They grow in strength and activeness,
In person and in comeliness:
So that a shaft shot with courage
Of one that hath a most strong arm,
Flies not so swift, nor doth like harm.
 
Oh, well is he that hath his quiver
Furnish'd with such artillery:
For when in peril he shall be,
Such one shall never quake or shiver,
When he doth plead before the judge
Against his foes that bear him grudge.}}

In vain we rise before the day,
And late to rest repair,
Allow no respite to our toil,
And eat the bread of care.
 
Supplies of life, with ease to them,
He on his saints bestows;
He crowns their labour with success,
Their nights with sound repose.
 
Children, those comforts of our life,
Are presents from the Lord;
He gives a num'rous race of heirs,
As piety's reward.
 
As arrows in a giant's hand,
When marching forth to war,
E'en so the sons of sprightly youth
Their parents' safeguard are.
 
Happy the man whose quiver's fill'd
With these prevailing arms;
He needs not fear to meet his foe
At law, or war's alarms.}}

Salamon éneke a fölmenetekre. Ha az Úr nem építi a házat, hiába munkálkodnak, kik azt építik; ha az Úr nem őrzi a várost, hiába vigyáz, ki azt őrzi.
Hiába keltek föl viradat előtt; hiába keltek föl pihenés után, kik a fájdalom kenyerét eszitek. Mig ellenben az Úr íme álmot ad az ő kedveltjeinek,
örökséget a fiakban: mert az ő ajándéka a méh gyümölcse.

Text and translations

Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 126)

Latin.png Latin text

1  Canticum graduum Salomonis. Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam. Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem, frustra vigilat qui custodit eam.
2  Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere: surgite postquam sederitis, qui manducatis panem doloris. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum,
3  ecce haereditas Domini, filii; merces, fructus ventris.
4  Sicut sagittae in manu potentis, ita filii excussorum.
5  Beatus vir qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis: non confundetur cum loquetur inimicis suis in porta.

Literal (verbatim) English

English.png English translation

1  Lest the Lord build the house, in vain shall work [those] who build it. Lest the Lord keep the city, in vain shall work [he] who keeps watch over it.
2  Vain is for you before the light to wake: wake up after you have rested, [you] who eat the bread of pain. For he gave, to the beloved of his, rest,
3  here [are] the inheritance of the Lord, the children; rewards, the fruit of the womb.
4  As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them [that have been] shaken.
5  Blessed [is] the man who filled the quiver of his with them; not shall he be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies at the gate.

1  Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
2  It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved,
3  behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
4  As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
5  Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
