Salme 127

Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

fra Biblica

Herrens velsignelse over arbejde og hjem

1 En valfartssang af Salomon. Hvis ikke Herren bygger huset, er håndværkernes arbejde forgæves. Hvis ikke Herren vogter byen, våger vagterne forgæves. 

2 Det er til ingen nytte at slide og slæbe fra tidlig morgen til sen aften, for Herren sørger for sine, mens de sover, han giver dem alt, hvad de har brug for. 

3 Børn er en gave fra Herren, efterkommere er en velsignelse. 

4 De børn, man får i sin ungdom, vil være til hjælp, når man bliver gammel. 

5 Du er velsignet, hvis du har en stor familie, for de kan hjælpe dig, når du kommer under angreb.

Salme 127

King James Version

1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. 

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
