Psalm 127
New International Version

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds(A) the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches(B) over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food(C) to eat—
    for he grants sleep(D) to[a] those he loves.(E)

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward(F) from him.
4 Like arrows(G) in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them.(H)
They will not be put to shame
    when they contend with their opponents(I) in court.(J)

诗篇 127
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

人的产业都是　神所赐

所罗门朝圣之歌（原文作“往上行之歌”）。

127 如果不是耶和华建造房屋，

建造的人就徒然劳苦；

如果不是耶和华看守城池，

看守的人就徒然警醒。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）

2 你们清早起来，很晚才歇息，

吃劳碌得来的饭，都是徒然；

因为主必使他所爱的安睡。

3 儿女是耶和华所赐的产业，

腹中的胎儿是他的赏赐。

4 年轻时所生的儿女，

好象勇士手中的箭。

5 箭袋装满了箭的人是有福的，

他们在城门口和仇敌说话的时候，

必不至于羞愧。

Psalm 127
King James Version

127 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.

2 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.

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

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

5 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.
