Psalm 127 | 聖經當代譯本修訂版

頌讚上帝的美善

所羅門上聖殿朝聖之詩。

1 若不是耶和華建造房屋, 建造者的工作都是徒勞。 若不是耶和華保護城池, 守城者保持警覺也是徒然。 2 你早起晚睡, 為生活操勞也是徒然, 唯有耶和華所愛的人才能安眠。 3 兒女是耶和華所賜的禮物, 孩子是祂所給的賞賜。 4 人年輕時生的兒女猶如戰士手中的箭。 5 袋中裝滿了箭的人有福了! 他們在城門與仇敵爭論時, 必不致蒙羞。

English Standard Version

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.*
