PSALM 127
A Song of degrees for Solomon.
1 Except
the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD
keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 2 It is
vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for
so he giveth his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are an
heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of
the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of
them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the
gate.
