Psalms 127

English
1

Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

2

It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

3

Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

4

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

5

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

سِفْرُ المزامير 127

العربية
1

نَشيدُ المَراقي. لِسُلَيمان. إِن لم يَبْنِ الرَّبُّ البَيتَ فباطِلًا يَتعَبُ البَنَّاؤُون. إِن لم يَحرُسِ الرَّبُّ المَدينة فباطِلًا يَسهَرُ الحارِسون

2

باطِلٌ لَكم أَن تُبَكِّروا في القِيام وتَتَأَخَّروا في المَنام آكِلينَ خُبزَ المَتاعِب واللهُ يَرزُقُ حَبيبَه وهو نائم

3

ها إِنَّ البَنينَ ميراثٌ مِنَ الرَّبّ وثَمَرَةَ البَطْنِ ثَوابٌ مِنه

4

كالسِّهامِ في يَدِ الجَبَّار هٰكَذا يَكونُ أَبْناءُ سِنِّ الشَّباب

5

طوبى لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذي مَلأَ جَعبَتَه مِنهم! فإِنَّهم لا يَخزَونَ إِذا رافَعوا ضِدَّ أَعْدائِهم عِندَ الأَبْواب
