Psalms 127

1 The song of greces of Salomon. `No but the Lord bilde the hous; thei that bilden it han trauelid in veyn. No but the Lord kepith the citee; he wakith in veyn that kepith it.

canticum graduum Salomonis nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem frustra vigilavit qui custodit

2 It is veyn to you to rise bifore the liyt; rise ye after that ye han sete, that eten the breed of sorewe. Whanne he schal yyue sleep to his loued; lo!

vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere surgere postquam sederitis qui manducatis panem doloris cum dederit dilectis suis somnum

3 the eritage of the Lord `is sones, the mede is the fruyt of wombe.

ecce hereditas Domini filii mercis fructus ventris

4 As arowis ben in the hond of the miyti; so the sones of hem that ben schakun out.

sicut sagittae in manu potentis ita filii excussorum

5 Blessid is the man, that hath fillid his desier of tho; he schal not be schent, whanne he schal speke to hise enemyes in the yate.

beatus vir qui implebit desiderium suum ex ipsis non confundentur cum loquentur inimicis suis in porta
