Psalm 127 Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
Psalm 127:1-5 Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
Psalm 127:1-2
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2
It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
Psalm 127:3-5
3
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
