A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.
1 Unless Yahweh builds the house,
they who build it labor in vain.
Unless Yahweh 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 Yahweh.
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.

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。
