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.
