¶The .cxxvij. Psalme.
¶By the only liberalyte & gyft of God is the house and housholde geuen / the cytye defended •• meate myny∣stred / chyldren & those toward and thryftye obtayned.
The songe of the steares.
EXcept the Lorde buylde the house / their [ A] labour is but lost that buylde it.
Except the Lorde kepe the cytye / the watchman waketh but in vayne.
It is but lost labour that ye rise vp early / and take no rest / but eate the bredde of care∣fulnesse: for loke to whom it pleaseth him / he geueth it in slepe.
Lo / chyldren and the frute of the wombe are an herytage & gift / yt cōmeth of ye Lorde.
Lyke as the arowes in the hande of the gyaunt / euen so are the yonge children.
Happy is the man / that hath his quyuer full of them: they shal not be ashamed / when they speake with their enemyes in the gate.
