Psalm 127
Prosperity Comes from
the LORD |
| A Song of degrees for
Solomon. |
|
| 1 |
Except the LORD build the house,
| |
| they labor in vain that build it: |
| except the LORD keep the
city, |
| the watchman waketh but 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 giveth his beloved sleep.
|
|
|
| 3 |
Lo, children are a heritage of the
LORD:
| |
| and the fruit of the womb is his reward. |
|
|
| 4 |
As arrows are in the hand of a
mighty man;
| |
| so are children of the
youth. |
|
|
| 5 |
Happy is the man that hath his
quiver full of them:
| |
| they shall not be ashamed, |
| but they shall speak with the enemies in the
gate. |
|
