Psalm 127 | Bible Kralická

1 Píseň stupňů, Šalomounova. Nebude-li Hospodin stavěti domu, nadarmo usilují ti, kteříž stavějí jej; nebude-li Hospodin ostříhati města, nadarmo bdí strážný.

2 Daremnéť jest vám ráno vstávati, dlouho sedati, a jísti chléb bolesti, poněvadž Bůh dává milému svému i sen.

3 Aj, dědictví od Hospodina jsou dítky, a plod života jest mzda.

4 Jako střely v ruce udatného, tak jsou dítky zdárné.

5 Blahoslavený muž, kterýž by jimi naplnil toul svůj; nebudouť zahanbeni, když v rozepři budou s nepřátely v branách.

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.

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.

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children* of one’s youth.

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.*
