Nisi Dominus

Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum
Ecce hereditas Domini filii mercis fructus ventris.

For he brings rest1to those he has chosen2
Behold, they are a legacy3and a testament4of the Son of God.

Hi! First off, I'd like to compliment you on your translation: you conveyed the meaning of the original text very well.
However, I'd suggest a little more accurate translation:
"When/After He will have given rest to the ones He cherishes
here comes the legacy of the Lord: the offspring, fruit of the womb"
What do you think? Hope I helped you! :)
