Psalm 127 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

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.

Unless the Lord Builds the House

1 A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. 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.*
