ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 127

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ωδη των αναβαθμων μακαριοι παντες οι φοβουμενοι τον κυριον οι πορευομενοι εν ταις οδοις αυτου	1 A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build. Unless the LORD guard the city, in vain does the guard keep watch.
2 τους πονους των καρπων σου φαγεσαι μακαριος ει και καλως σοι εσται	2 It is vain for you to rise early and put off your rest at night, To eat bread earned by hard toil-- all this God gives to his beloved in sleep.
3 η γυνη σου ως αμπελος ευθηνουσα εν τοις κλιτεσι της οικιας σου οι υιοι σου ως νεοφυτα ελαιων κυκλω της τραπεζης σου	3 Children too are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward.
4 ιδου ουτως ευλογηθησεται ανθρωπος ο φοβουμενος τον κυριον	4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children born in one's youth.
5 ευλογησαι σε κυριος εκ σιων και ιδοις τα αγαθα ιερουσαλημ πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου	5 Blessed are they whose quivers are full. They will never be shamed contending with foes at the gate.
6 και ιδοις υιους των υιων σου ειρηνη επι τον ισραηλ
