Psm127:1 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.
Psm127:2 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.
Psm127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Psm127:4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.
Psm127:5 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.
