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.

Psalm 127
New American Standard Bible

Prosperity Comes from the Lord.

A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord (A)builds a house,
They who build it labor in vain;
Unless the Lord (B)guards a city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is futile for you to rise up early,
To [a]stay up late,
To (C)eat the bread of painful labor;
This is how He gives to His (D)beloved (E)sleep.

3 Behold, (F)children are a [b]gift of the Lord,
The (G)fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a (H)warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 (I)Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
(J)They will not be ashamed
When they (K)speak with their enemies (L)in the gate.

Salmos 127
Palabra de Dios para Todos

Todo depende de Dios

Canto de Salomón para los peregrinos.

1 Si el SEÑOR no construye la casa,
    los constructores pierden su tiempo.
Si el SEÑOR no vigila la ciudad,
    los guardias pierden su tiempo.
2 Pierden el tiempo ustedes,
    que se levantan temprano y se acuestan tarde
para comer un pan conseguido con sufrimiento
    porque Dios da a quien ama, aun mientras duerme.

3 Los hijos son la herencia que nos da el SEÑOR;
    los frutos del vientre son la recompensa que viene de Dios.
4 Los hijos de un hombre joven
    son como flechas en las manos de un guerrero.
5 Qué afortunado es el hombre
    que llena su aljaba con flechas como esas.
No será avergonzado por sus enemigos
    cuando trate con ellos en los tribunales.

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)
