¶Lyrics / Text

Nisi Dominus ædificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui ædificant eam. Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem, frustra vigilat qui custodit eam. Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere: surgite postquam sederitis, qui manducatis panem doloris. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum. Ecce: hæreditas Domini, filii, merces, fructus ventris. Sicut sagittæ in manu potentis, ita filii excussorum. Beatus vir qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis; non confundetur, cum loquetur inimicis suis in porta.
