←Prev   Psalms 127 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



127:1  Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.
127:2  It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
127:3  Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
127:4  As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.
127:5  Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. A Song of Ascents.
