Psalms 127

1 A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.

1 若不是耶和华建造房屋， 建造的人都徒然劳力。 若不是耶和华看守城池， 看守的人都徒然守望。

2 In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.

2 你早起晚睡， 为生活操劳也是徒然， 因为耶和华使祂所爱的人安眠。

3 Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

3 儿女是耶和华所赐的产业， 孩子是祂所给的赏赐。

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.

4 人年轻时生的儿女犹如战士手中的箭。

5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.

5 袋中装满了箭的人有福了！ 他们在城门与仇敌争论时， 必不致蒙羞。
