127:1 A song of ascents. Of Solomon. If the Lord does not build the house, those who construct it labor in vain. If the Lord does not guard the city, those who keep watch over it do so in vain.
127:2 It is useless for you to rise earlier and delay taking your rest at night, toiling relentlessly for the bread you eat; for while those he loves sleep, he provides all of this for them.
127:3 Behold, children are a gift from the Lord, a reward of the fruit of the womb.
127:4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are the children born in one’s youth.
127:5 Blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them. He will never be forced to retreat when he is confronted by his enemies at the city gate.
