Psalms, Psalm 127

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.

It is vain for you to rise up early,
To^aretire late,
To eat the bread of^bpainful labors;
For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.

Behold, children are a^cgift 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.
