Psalms 127

1 song [the] step to/for Solomon if: until LORD not to build house: home vanity: vain to toil to build him in/on/with him if: until LORD not to keep: guard city vanity: vain to watch to keep: guard

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By Solomon.” Except the LORD build the house, The builders labor in vain; Except the LORD guard the city, The watchman waketh in vain.

2 vanity: vain to/for you to rise to arise: rise to delay to dwell to eat food: bread [the] toil so to give: give to/for beloved his sleep

In vain ye rise up early, and go to rest late, And eat the bread of care! The same giveth he his beloved one in sleep.

3 behold inheritance LORD son: child wages fruit [the] belly: womb

Behold! sons are an inheritance from the LORD, And the fruit of the womb is his gift.

4 like/as arrow in/on/with hand mighty man so son: child [the] youth

As arrows in the hand of the warrior, So are the sons of young men:

5 blessed [the] great man which to fill [obj] quiver his from them not be ashamed for to speak: speak with enemy in/on/with gate

Happy the man that hath his quiver full of them! They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with adversaries in the gate.
