Psalms Chapter 127
New American Standard Bible
1
A Song of Ascents, of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2
It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved [even in his] sleep.
3
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.
5
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
