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)

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.

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.
