人的產業都是 神所賜

所羅門朝聖之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。

127 如果不是耶和華建造房屋,

建造的人就徒然勞苦;

如果不是耶和華看守城池,

看守的人就徒然警醒。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

你們清早起來,很晚才歇息,

吃勞碌得來的飯,都是徒然;

因為主必使他所愛的安睡。

兒女是耶和華所賜的產業,

腹中的胎兒是他的賞賜。

年輕時所生的兒女,

好像勇士手中的箭。

箭袋裝滿了箭的人是有福的,

他們在城門口和仇敵說話的時候,

必不至於羞愧。

Psalm 127

The Lord Builds the House

Heading
A song of the ascents. By Solomon.

The Lord Builds the House

If the Lord does not build the house,
    it is useless for the builders to work hard over it.
If the Lord does not watch over the city,
    it is useless for the watchman to stand guard.
It is useless for you to get up early and to work late,
worrying about bread to eat,
because God grants sleep to the one he loves.[a]
Indeed, children are a heritage from the Lord.
The fruit of the womb is a reward from him.
Sons born during one’s youth are like arrows
    in the hand of a warrior.
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
    when they dispute with enemies at the city gate.[b]

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)
