Psalm 127
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. |
