Psalms 127
127
All Good Things Come from God
A song for going up to worship. Of Solomon.
1If the Lord doesn’t build the house,
the builders are working for nothing.
If the Lord doesn’t guard the city,
the guards are watching for nothing.
2It is no use for you to get up early
and stay up late,
working for a living.
The Lord gives sleep to those he loves.
3Children are a gift from the Lord;
babies are a reward.
4Children who are born to a young man
are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
5Happy is the man
who has his bag full of arrows.
They will not be defeated
when they fight their enemies at the city gate.

Psalms 127
127
A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.
1Except Jehovah build the house,
They labor in vain that build it:
Except Jehovah keep the city,
The watchman waketh but in vain.
2It is vain for you to rise up early,
To take rest late,
To eat the bread of toil;
For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.
3Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah;
And the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
So are the children of youth.
5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
They shall not be put to shame,
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
