NASB Bible

Psalms 127

A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.

1

Unless the LORD  abuilds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD  bguards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.

2

It is vain for you to rise up early, To  1retire late, To  aeat the bread of  2painful labors; For He gives to His  bbeloved  ceven in his sleep.

3

Behold,  achildren are a  1gift of the LORD, The  bfruit of the womb is a reward.

4

Like arrows in the hand of a  awarrior, So are the children of one's youth.

5

How  ablessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;  bThey will not be ashamed When they  cspeak with their enemies  din the gate.
