Ps 127
0 Psalm 127 A Song of Ascents;
of Solomon.
1
Except YHWH build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except YHWH keep the
city, The watchman wakes but in vain.
2
It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil;
[For] so he gives to his beloved sleep.
3
Behold, children are a heritage of YHWH; [And] 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 that has his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame,
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
