Psalms 127
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. 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.
1Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
2It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.
2For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
3Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
5May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
