Textus Receptus Bibles
Young's Literal Translation 1862
| 127:1 | A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked. |
| 127:2 | Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep. |
| 127:3 | Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah `are' sons, A reward `is' the fruit of the womb. |
| 127:4 | As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So `are' the sons of the young men. |
| 127:5 | O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate! |
Young's Literal Translation 1862
Young's Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young used the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text as the basis for his translation. He wrote in the preface to the first edition, "It has been no part of the Translator's plan to attempt to form a New Hebrew or Greek Text--he has therefore somewhat rigidly adhered to the received ones."
