Psalms - Chapter 127 | New International Version

  • 1. {A song of ascents. Of Solomon.} Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
  • 2. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat-- for he grants sleep to those he loves.
  • 3. Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.
  • 4. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.
  • 5. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
