Psalms 127

Psalm 127
A Song of degrees for Solomon.
1¶ Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain that build it; unless the Lord keeps the city, the watchmen watch in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to come home late, to eat the bread of sorrows, because he shall give his beloved sleep.
3Behold, sons are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is to be desired.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the young men.
5Happy is the man that has filled his quiver with them: he shall not be ashamed when he speaks with the enemies in the 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.
