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 song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain. Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman wakes 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 you rise early, and finish so late, and so eat sorrow’s bread; for he cares for his loved ones in their sleep.

3 儿女是耶和华所赐的产业； 所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。

Children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward.

4 少年时所生的儿女 好像勇士手中的箭。

Like arrows wielded by warriors, are the children of youth.

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 who has filled his quiver full of them. He will not be ashamed when he speaks with enemies in the gate.
