Psalms 127
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
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.
1Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Μακάριοι πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον, οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ.
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.
2Τοὺς πόνους τῶν καρπῶν σου φάγεσαι· μακάριος εἶ καὶ καλῶς σοι ἔσται.
3Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
3Ἡ γυνή σου ὡς ἄμπελος εὐθηνοῦσα ἐν ταῖς κλίτεσι τῆς οἰκίας σου· οἱ υἱοί σου ὡς νεόφυτα ἐλαιῶν κύκλῳ τῆς τραπέζης σου.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
4Ἰδοὺ οὕτως εὐλογηθήσεται ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον.
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.
5Εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος ἐκ Σιὼν, καὶ ἴδοις τὰ ἀγαθὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου·
no verse 6 in this text
6Καὶ ἴδοις υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν σου· εἰρήνη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
