| 127:1 | 〔所羅門上行之詩。〕若不是耶和華建造房屋、建造的人就枉然勞力.若不是耶和華看守城池、看守的人就枉然儆醒。 | 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. |
| 127:2 | 你們清晨早起、夜晚安歇、喫勞碌得來的飯、本是枉然.惟有耶和華所親愛的、必叫他安然睡覺。 | 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. |
| 127:3 | 兒女是耶和華所賜的產業.所懷的胎、是他所給的賞賜。 | Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. |
| 127:4 | 少年時所生的兒女、好像勇士手中的箭。 | As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. |
| 127:5 | 箭袋充滿的人、便為有福.他們在城門口、和仇敵說話的時候、必不至於羞愧。 | 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. |
