¹所羅門朝聖之歌（原文作“往上行之歌”）。如果不是耶和華建造房屋，建造的人就徒然勞苦；如果不是耶和華看守城池，看守的人就徒然警醒。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）

¹Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

²你們清早起來，很晚才歇息，吃勞碌得來的飯，都是徒然；因為主必使他所愛的安睡。

²It 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兒女是耶和華所賜的產業，腹中的胎兒是他的賞賜。

³Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

⁴年輕時所生的兒女，好像勇士手中的箭。

⁴As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

⁵箭袋裝滿了箭的人是有福的，他們在城門口和仇敵說話的時候，必不至於羞愧。

⁵Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
