言人百計經營非蒙主佑盡屬徒然

127 所羅門上行之詩。

若不是耶和華建造房屋,建造的人就枉然勞力;若不是耶和華看守城池,看守的人就枉然警醒。
你們清晨早起,夜晚安歇,吃勞碌得來的飯,本是枉然;唯有耶和華所親愛的,必叫他安然睡覺。
兒女是耶和華所賜的產業,所懷的胎是他所給的賞賜。
少年時所生的兒女,好像勇士手中的箭。
箭袋充滿的人便為有福!他們在城門口和仇敵說話的時候,必不至於羞愧。

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

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.
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)

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward(F) from him.
Like arrows(G) in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
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)
