Psalm 127
BSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor uselessly. Unless the LORD guards the city, its security forces keep watch uselessly.
2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.2It is useless to get up early and to stay up late, eating the food of exhausting labor— truly he gives sleep to those he loves.
3Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.3Children are a gift from the LORD; a productive womb, the LORD's reward.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.4As arrows in the hand of a warrior, so also are children born during one's youth.
5Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.5How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be ashamed as they confront their enemies at the city gate.
