(Psa 127:1) Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh {but} in vain.
(Psa 127:2) {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.
(Psa 127:3) Lo, children {are} an heritage of the Lord: {and} the fruit of the womb {is his} reward.
(Psa 127:4) As arrows {are} in the hand of a mighty man; so {are} children of the youth.
(Psa 127:5) 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.
