Psalms 127

127
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
1Except the Lord build the house,
those who build labor in vain;
except the Lord guards the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 It is in vain for you to rise up early,
to stay up late,
and to eat the bread of hard toil,
for He gives sleep to His beloved.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Look, children are a gift of the Lord,
and the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 As arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior,
so are the children of one’s youth.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Happy is the man
who has his quiver full of them;
he shall not be ashamed
when he speaks with the enemies at the gate.
