Psalm 127

English Standard Version (Psalm 127)

Unless the LORD Builds the House 127 A SONG OF ASCENTS. OF SOLOMON.

1  Unless the LORD builds the house,those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city,the watchman stays awake in vain.

2  It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.

3  Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,the fruit of the womb a reward.

4  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.

5  Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
