Psalm 127

English Standard Version

from Crossway

Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. (Ps 121:4) 

2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. (Ge 3:17; Ge 3:19; Ps 60:5; Mr 4:26; Mr 4:27) 

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. (Ge 33:5; De 28:4; Ps 132:11) 

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. (Ps 120:4) 

5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. (Job 5:4)

圣经当代译本修订版

from Biblica

颂赞上帝的美善

所罗门上圣殿朝圣之诗。

1 若不是耶和华建造房屋， 建造者的工作都是徒劳。 若不是耶和华保护城池， 守城者保持警觉也是徒然。 

2 你早起晚睡， 为生活操劳也是徒然， 唯有耶和华所爱的人才能安眠。 

3 儿女是耶和华所赐的礼物， 孩子是祂所给的赏赐。 

4 人年轻时生的儿女犹如战士手中的箭。 

5 袋中装满了箭的人有福了！ 他们在城门与仇敌争论时， 必不致蒙羞。
