Psalm 127
127
1 A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
2 For you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will be well with you.
3 Your wife is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.
4 Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.
6 And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.

Psalms 127
127
(A song by Solomon for worship.)
Only the Lord Can Bless a Home
1Without the help of the Lord
it is useless to build a home
or to guard a city.
2It is useless to get up early
and stay up late
in order to earn a living.
God takes care of his own,
even while they sleep.#127.2 God … sleep: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
3Children are a blessing
and a gift from the Lord.
4Having a lot of children
to take care of you
in your old age
is like a warrior
with a lot of arrows.
5The more you have,
the better off you will be,
because they will protect you
when your enemies
attack you in court.
