Tract (Ps. 128:1-4)
Sæpe expugnavérunt me a juventúte mea. ℣. Dicat nunc Israël: sæpe expugnavérunt me a juventúte mea. ℣. Etenim non potuérunt mihi: supra dorsum meum fabricavérunt peccatóres. ℣. Prolongavérunt iniquitátes suas: Dóminus justus cóncidit cervíces peccatórum.

Often have they fought against me from my youth. ℣. Let Israel now say: often have they fought against me from my youth. ℣. But they could not prevail over me: the wicked have wrought upon my back. ℣. They have lengthened their iniquities: the Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners.
