< Psalms 127 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY SOLOMON. If YHWH does not build the house, Its builders have labored at it in vain, If YHWH does not watch a city, A watchman has awoken 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 Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He gives sleep to His beloved one.
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, sons [are] an inheritance of YHWH, The fruit of the womb [is] a reward.
Here! [the] inheritance of Yahweh [is] sons [is] a reward [the] fruit of the womb.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons of the young men.
Like arrows in [the] hand of a warrior so [are] [the] sons of youth.
5 O the blessedness of the man Who has filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the 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.
