詩篇 127
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

頌讚上帝的美善

所羅門上聖殿朝聖之詩。

127 若不是耶和華建造房屋，
建造者的工作都是徒勞。
若不是耶和華保護城池，
守城者保持警覺也是徒然。
2 你早起晚睡，
為生活操勞也是徒然，
唯有耶和華所愛的人才能安眠。
3 兒女是耶和華所賜的禮物，
孩子是祂所給的賞賜。
4 人年輕時生的兒女猶如戰士手中的箭。
5 袋中裝滿了箭的人有福了！
他們在城門與仇敵爭論時，
必不致蒙羞。

Psalm 127
New King James Version

Laboring and Prospering with the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless (A)the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To (B)eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.

3 Behold, (C)children are a heritage from the Lord,
(D)The fruit of the womb is a (E)reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 (F)Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
(G)They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127
English Standard Version

Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of (A)Ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
    those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord (B)watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious (C)toil;
    for he gives to his (D)beloved (E)sleep.

3 Behold, (F)children are a heritage from the Lord,
    (G)the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of (H)a warrior
    are the children[a] of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
    who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
    when he speaks with his enemies (I)in the gate.[b]

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,
