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.*

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。
