Psalms 127
127
PSALM 127.
1A gradual canticle.
Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
2For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6And mayest thou see thy children's children, peace upon Israel.

PSALM 127
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Except the Lord do build the house,
the builders lose their pain:
Except the Lord the city keep,
the watchmen watch in vain.
2'Tis vain for you to rise betimes,
or late from rest to keep,
To feed on sorrows' bread;
so gives he his beloved sleep.
3Lo, children are God's heritage,
the womb's fruit his reward.
4The sons of youth as arrows are,
for strong men's hands prepar'd.
5O happy is the man that hath
his quiver fill'd with those;
They unashamed in the gate
shall speak unto their foes.
