127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain. |
127:2 In vain you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep. |
127:3 Behold, the Lord gives children as a gift,The Lord rewards the fruit of the womb . |
127:4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So one can consider the children of one's youth. |
127:5 How the Lord blesses the man who has a quiver full of them; They will not suffer shame When they speak with their enemies in the gate. |
