Psalms 127
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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.
1Canticum graduum. [Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
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.
2Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
3Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
3Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
4Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
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.
5Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
