诗篇 127

1 所罗门上行之诗。 若不是耶和华建造房屋， 建造的人就枉然劳力； 若不是耶和华看守城池， 看守的人就枉然警醒。

Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

2 你们清晨早起，夜晚安歇， 吃劳碌得来的饭，本是枉然； 惟有耶和华所亲爱的，必叫他安然睡觉。

It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved,

3 儿女是耶和华所赐的产业； 所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。

Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.

4 少年时所生的儿女 好像勇士手中的箭。

As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.

5 箭袋充满的人便为有福； 他们在城门口和仇敌说话的时候， 必不至于羞愧。

Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
