127
1 (Shir HaMa'alot, of Sh'lomo)
ExceptHashem build the bais,
they that build it labor in vain;
except Hashem is shomer over the city,
the shomair (watchman) stands guard in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
to sit up late,
to eat the lechem ha'atzavim (bread of toils);
for so He giveth his beloved sleep.
3 Hinei, banim are nachalat Hashem;
and the p'ri habeten is a zachar (reward).
4 As khitzim (arrows) are in the yad of a gibbor;
so are bnei haneurim (children born in oneʼs youth).
5 Ashrei hagever that hath his quiver full of them;
they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the oyevim basha'ar (enemy at the gate).
