Psalms 1275 verses, each with its tree and pragmatics: Hebrew, Aramaic (the Targum) and English (JPS 1917), the English sentence by sentence.127:1שִׁיר הַֽמַּֽעֲלוֹת לִשְׁלֹמֹהאִם־יְהוָה ׀ לֹא־יִבְנֶה בַיִת שָׁוְא ׀ עָמְלוּ בוֹנָיו בּוֹ אִם־יְהוָה לֹֽא־יִשְׁמָר־עִיר שָׁוְא ׀ שָׁקַד שׁוֹמֵֽר׃A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. 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.127:2שָׁוְא לָכֶם ׀ מַשְׁכִּימֵי קוּם מְאַֽחֲרֵי־שֶׁבֶת אֹכְלֵי לֶחֶם הָעֲצָבִים כֵּן יִתֵּן לִֽידִידוֹ שֵׁנָֽא׃It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.127:3הִנֵּה נַחֲלַת יְהוָה בָּנִים שָׂכָר פְּרִי הַבָּֽטֶן׃Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.127:4כְּחִצִּים בְּיַד־גִּבּוֹר כֵּן בְּנֵי הַנְּעוּרִֽים׃As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.127:5אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר מִלֵּא אֶת־אַשְׁפָּתוֹ מֵהֶם לֹֽא־יֵבֹשׁוּ כִּֽי־יְדַבְּרוּ אֶת־אוֹיְבִים בַּשָּֽׁעַר׃Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.← previousPsalms 126next →Psalms 128↑ back to PsalmsThis page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/PSA/127/
