Parallel
Psalms 127
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
A 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.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis : beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.
Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
