127:1 A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Except the Lord build the house, those who build labor in vain; except the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
127:2 It is in vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, and to eat the bread of hard toil, for He gives sleep to His beloved.
127:3 Look, children are a gift of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is a reward.
127:4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.
127:5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; he shall not be ashamed when he speaks with the enemies at the gate.
