A Song of degrees for Solomon.
1 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.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

1 如果不是耶和华建造房屋， 建造的人就徒然劳苦； 如果不是耶和华看守城池， 看守的人就徒然警醒。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
2 你们清早起来， 很晚才歇息， 吃劳碌得来的饭， 都是徒然； 因为主必使他所爱的安睡。
3 儿女是耶和华所赐的产业， 腹中的胎儿是他的赏赐。
4 年轻时所生的儿女， 好像勇士手中的箭。
5 箭袋装满了箭的人是有福的， 他们在城门口和仇敌说话的时候， 必不至于羞愧。
