< Psalms 127 >
1 A Song of Degrees. Except the Lord build the house, they that build labor in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain.
[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 is vain for you to rise early: you rise up after resting, you that eat the bread of grief; while he gives sleep to his beloved.
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 Behold, the inheritance of the Lord, children, the reward of the fruit of the womb.
Here! [the] inheritance of Yahweh [is] sons [is] a reward [the] fruit of the womb.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so are the children of those who were outcasts.
Like arrows in [the] hand of a warrior so [are] [the] sons of youth.
5 Blessed is the man who shall satisfy his desire with them: they shall not be ashamed when they shall speak to their enemies in the gates.
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.
