←Prev   Psalms 127 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



127:1  Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor uselessly. Unless the LORD guards the city, its security forces keep watch uselessly.
127:2  It is useless to get up early and to stay up late, eating the food of exhausting labor— truly he gives sleep to those he loves.
127:3  Children are a gift from the LORD; a productive womb, the LORD's reward.
127:4  As arrows in the hand of a warrior, so also are children born during one's youth.
127:5  How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be ashamed as they confront their enemies at the city gate.
