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。

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By Solomon.” Except the LORD build the house, The builders labor in vain; Except the LORD guard the city, The watchman waketh in vain.

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。

In vain ye rise up early, and go to rest late, And eat the bread of care! The same giveth he his beloved one in sleep.

3 儿女是耶和华所赐的产业； 所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。

Behold! sons are an inheritance from the LORD, And the fruit of the womb is his gift.

4 少年时所生的儿女 好像勇士手中的箭。

As arrows in the hand of the warrior, So are the sons of young men:

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。

Happy the man that hath his quiver full of them! They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with adversaries in the gate.
