Antiphon : May the Lord watch over this house and keep us in peace. If the Lord does not build the house, In vain do its builders labour; If the Lord does not watch over the city, In vain does the watchman keep vigil.
2. In vain is your earlier rising, Your going later to rest, You who toil for the bread you eat: When he pours gifts on his beloved while they slumber.
3. Truly sons are gifts from the Lord, A blessing, the fruit of the womb. Indeed, the sons of youth Are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
4. O the happiness of the man Who has filled his quiver with these arrows! He will have no cause for shame When he disputes with his foes in the gateways.
5. Give praise to the father almighty, To his son, Jesus Christ, the Lord, To the spirit who dwells in our hearts, Both now and for Ages unending.
