Psalms 127
127
In Praise of God's Goodness#Ps 127 Hebrew title: By Solomon.
1If the LORD does not build the house,
the work of the builders is useless;
if the LORD does not protect the city,
it is useless for the sentries to stand guard.
2It is useless to work so hard for a living,
getting up early and going to bed late.
For the LORD provides for those he loves,
while they are asleep.
3Children are a gift from the LORD;
they are a real blessing.
4The sons a man has when he is young
are like arrows in a soldier's hand.
5Happy is the man who has many such arrows.
He will never be defeated
when he meets his enemies in the place of judgement.

Psalms 127
127
He Gives Sleep to His Children
1A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless Adonai builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless Adonai watches over the city, the watchman stands guard in vain.
2In vain you rise up early and stay up late, eating the bread of toil— for He provides for His beloved ones even in their sleep.
3Behold, children are a heritage of Adonai —the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one’s youth.
5Happy is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies at the gate.
