Psalm 127

På Herrens välsignelse beror allt

1 En vallfartssång av Salomo.

Om inte Herren bygger huset
    är arbetarnas möda förgäves.
Om inte Herren bevarar staden
    vakar väktaren förgäves.
2 Förgäves stiger ni tidigt upp
    och går sent till vila
för att äta det bröd ni slitit för.
    Detta ger han åt sina vänner
medan de sover.

3 Se, barn är en Herrens gåva,
    livsfrukt en lön.
4 Som pilar i en hjältes hand
    är söner man får vid unga år.
5 Lycklig den man
    vars koger är fyllt med dem.
De kommer inte på skam
    när de går till rätta med fiender i porten.

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)

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]
