Psalms 127
127
A Song of degrees for Shlomo (Solomon) [Peace].
1Except the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] keep the city, the watchman wakes [but] in vain.
2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he gives his beloved sleep.
3Lo, children [are] an heritage of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
4As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth.
5Happy [is] the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
