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

Unless Adonai builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Adonai watches over the city, the watchman guards it 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

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

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

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

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

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

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 is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
