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.

Psalm 127
A song by Solomon for going up to worship.
1If the Lord does not build the house,
it is useless for the builders to work on it.
If the Lord does not protect a city,
it is useless for the guard to stay alert.
2It is useless to work hard for the food you eat
by getting up early and going to bed late.
The Lord gives ⌞food⌟ to those he loves while they sleep.
3Children are an inheritance from the Lord.
They are a reward from him.
4The children born to a man when he is young
are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
5Blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them.
He will not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the city gate.
