Psalm 127 | 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.*

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.
