Psalms 127
|
Prosperity Comes from the Lord.
A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord (a)builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord (b)guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To [a]retire late,
To (c)eat the bread of [b]painful labors;
For He gives to His (d)beloved (e)even in his sleep.
3 Behold, (f)children are a [c]gift of the Lord,
The (g)fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a (h)warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.
5 How (i)blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
(j)They will not be ashamed
When they (k)speak with their enemies (l)in the gate.
