Psalms 127

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of Solomon. If the Lord doesn't build the house, the work of the builders is futile. If the Lord doesn't guard the city, the work of the guards is pointless.

[the] song of The ascents of Solomon if Yahweh - not he will build a house vanity - they have toiled builders its in it if Yahweh not he will watch over a city vanity - he has kept awake [the] watchman.

2 It's useless to get up early in the morning and go to work, and stay late into the evening, worrying about earning enough to eat, when the Lord gives rest to those he loves.

Vanity [belongs] to you - [who] rise early to rise [who] delay to sit [who] eat [the] bread of labors thus he gives to beloved [one] his sleep.

3 Children certainly are a gift from the Lord, for a family is a blessing.

Here! [the] inheritance of Yahweh [is] sons [is] a reward [the] fruit of the womb.

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of a young man.

Like arrows in [the] hand of a warrior so [are] [the] sons of youth.

5 Happy is the father who fills his quiver with them! Such fathers will not be embarrassed when they confront their enemies at the city gate.

How blessed! [is] the man who he has filled quiver his from them not they will be ashamed if they will speak with enemies in the gate.
