Psalms 127
PSALM 127 Prosperity Comes from the L ord . A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.
1Unless the Lord builds the house,They labor in vain who build it;Unless the Lord guards the city,The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2It 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.
3Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,So are the children of one’s youth.
5How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;They will not be ashamedWhen they speak with their enemies in the gate.
