World English Bible

Psalms 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.

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.

3

Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

4

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.

5

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

A Song of Ascents.
