Psalms 127

  1. 1<pb/><e>A song of ascents. Of Solomon.</e> <pb/><t>Unless the LORD builds the house,</t> <t>the builders labor in vain.</t> <t>Unless the LORD watches over the city,</t> <t>the guards stand watch in vain.</t>
  2. 2<t>In vain you rise early</t> <t>and stay up late,</t> <t>toiling for food to eat—</t> <t>for he grants sleep to<f>[215]</f> those he loves. <pb/></t>
  3. 3<t>Children are a heritage from the LORD,</t> <t>offspring a reward from him.</t>
  4. 4<t>Like arrows in the hands of a warrior</t> <t>are children born in one’s youth.</t>
  5. 5<t>Blessed is the man</t> <t>whose quiver is full of them.</t> <t>They will not be put to shame</t> <t>when they contend with their opponents in court.</t>
