| 127:1 | 〔所罗门上行之诗。〕若不是耶和华建造房屋、建造的人就枉然劳力.若不是耶和华看守城池、看守的人就枉然儆醒。 | Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. |
| 127:2 | 你们清晨早起、夜晚安歇、吃劳碌得来的饭、本是枉然.惟有耶和华所亲爱的、必叫他安然睡觉。 | It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. |
| 127:3 | 儿女是耶和华所赐的产业.所怀的胎、是他所给的赏赐。 | Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. |
| 127:4 | 少年时所生的儿女、好像勇士手中的箭。 | As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. |
| 127:5 | 箭袋充满的人、便为有福.他们在城门口、和仇敌说话的时候、必不至于羞愧。 | Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. |
