Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless athe Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
To sit up late,
To aeat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
bThey shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
| << Psalms 127:2 | Psalms 127:4 >> |
