Psalms 127

127

Laboring and Prospering with the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

1Unless the Lord builds the house,

They labor in vain who build it;

Unless #Is. 61:3the Lord guards the city,

The watchman stays awake in vain.

2It is vain for you to rise up early,

To sit up late,

To #(Ps. 121:3–5)eat the bread of sorrows;

For so He gives His beloved sleep.

3Behold, #(Gen. 3:17, 19)children are a heritage from the Lord,

#(Gen. 33:5; Josh. 24:3, 4; Ps. 113:9)The fruit of the womb is a #Deut. 7:13; 28:4; Is. 13:18reward.

4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one’s youth.

5#(Ps. 113:9)Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;

#Ps. 128:2, 3They shall not be ashamed,

But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
