Psalm 126

tone 1, ending f
Source of this formula

NOH VIII does not print this psalm in I f: the formula in the same tone and ending serves — Psalm 112 in I f, as printed for Advent II, p. 57.

Continue every verse to this formula in I f, then Gloria Patri.

The text of Psalm 126
  1. Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum laboravérunt qui ædíficant eam.
  2. Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat qui custódit eam.
  3. Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere: * súrgite postquam sedéritis, qui manducátis panem dolóris.
  4. Cum déderit diléctis suis somnum: * (3) ecce heréditas Dómini fílii: merces, fructus ventris.
  5. Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis: * ita fílii excussórum.
  6. Beátus vir, qui implévit desidérium suum ex ipsis: * non confundétur cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.
