The Book of Psalms 127

Text size

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 ⚑

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 an 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 ⚑
