詩篇 127

1 若不是上主興工建屋，建築的人是徒然勞苦；若不是上主護守城堡，守城的人白白驚醒護守。

The song of greces of Salomon. `No but the Lord bilde the hous; thei that bilden it han trauelid in veyn. No but the Lord kepith the citee; he wakith in veyn that kepith it.

2 您們很早起床盡屬徒然，每夜坐到深更圖謀打算，為了求食經過多少辛酸；唯獨天主賜所愛者安眠。

It is veyn to you to rise bifore the liyt; rise ye after that ye han sete, that eten the breed of sorewe. Whanne he schal yyue sleep to his loued; lo!

3 的確子女全是上主的賜予，胎兒也全是他的報酬。

the eritage of the Lord `is sones, the mede is the fruyt of wombe.

4 年青少壯所生的子嗣，有如勇士手中的箭矢。

As arowis ben in the hond of the miyti; so the sones of hem that ben schakun out.

5 裝滿自己箭囊的人，真有福氣，城門前爭辯，不受羞恥。

Blessid is the man, that hath fillid his desier of tho; he schal not be schent, whanne he schal speke to hise enemyes in the yate.
