127:1 A song by Solomon for going up to worship. If Yahweh does not build the house, it is useless for the builders to work on it. If Yahweh does not protect a city, it is useless for the guard to stay alert.
127:2 It is useless to work hard for the food you eat by getting up early and going to bed late. Yahweh gives food to those he loves while they sleep.
127:3 Children are an inheritance from Yahweh. They are a reward from him.
127:4 The children born to a man when he is young are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
127:5 Blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them. He will not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the city gate.
