Original lyrics
RV 608 Nisi Dominus
1. Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum,
in vanum laboraverunt, qui aedificant eam.
Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem
frustra vigilat qui custodiat eam.
2. Vanum est vobis
ante lucem surgere.
3. Surgite postquam sederitis,
qui manducatis panem doloris.
4. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum,
Ecce haereditas Domini, filii:
Merces, fructus ventris,
Fructus ventris.
Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum,
Ecce haereditas Domini, filii:
Merces, fructus ventris,
Fructus ventris (3 v.).
5. Sicut sagittae
in manu potentis,
ita filii excussorum.
6. Beatus vir
qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis:
non confundetur
cum loquetur inimicis suis
in porta.
7. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto,
Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.

Translation
If the Lord has not.
1. If the Lord has not built the house,
in vain will those who build it toil.
If the Lord does not protect the city,
those who keep it watch in vain.
2. It is vain for you
to rise before light.
3. Get up after you sit down,
you who eat the bread of pain.
4. The Lord will to his beloved give it in their sleep.
Lord's gift are the children,
His grace is
the fruit of the womb
The Lord will to his beloved give it in their sleep.
Lord's gift are the children,
His grace is
the fruit of the womb (3 times).
5. Like arrows
in the hand of the mighty,
so are the children of exiles.
6. Blessed the man
who met his wish of them.
He will not be muddled
when he treat with his enemies
at the gate.
7. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, and now, and ever shall be, and unto the ages of ages.
Amen.
