Psalms 127

1 [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.

A Song of Ascents. By Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

2 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.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

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

Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

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

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

5 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.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They will not be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
