Cántico gradual. De Salomón. Si Yahvé no edifica la casa, en vano trabajan los que la edifican. Si Yahvé no guarda la ciudad, en vano vela la guardia.
Por demás es que os levantéis de madrugada,
y vayáis tarde a reposar,
y que comáis pan de dolores,
pues a su amado dará Dios el sueño.
He aquí, herencia de Yahvé son los hijos;
cosa de estima el fruto del vientre.
Como saetas en mano del valiente,
así son los hijos habidos en la juventud.
Bienaventurado el hombre que llenó su aljaba de ellos;
no será avergonzado cuando hable con los enemigos en la puerta.
