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.
Salmos 127
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Cántico de los peregrinos. De Salomón.
127 Si el Señor no edifica la casa,
en vano se esfuerzan los albañiles.
Si el Señor no cuida la ciudad,
en vano hacen guardia los vigilantes.
2 En vano madrugáis,
y os acostáis muy tarde,
para comer un pan de fatigas,
porque Dios concede el sueño a sus amados.
3 Los hijos son una herencia del Señor,
los frutos del vientre son una recompensa.
4 Como flechas en las manos del guerrero
son los hijos de la juventud.
5 Dichosos los que llenan su aljaba
con esta clase de flechas.[a]
No serán avergonzados por sus enemigos
cuando litiguen con ellos en los tribunales.

Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
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]
