Psalm 127 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 127:1A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked.
Psa 127:2Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.
Psa 127:3Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah are sons, A reward is the fruit of the womb.
Psa 127:4As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So are the sons of the young men.
Psa 127:5O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!
