NASB95 Psalms 127 Chapter
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
It is vain for 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, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
127:4
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.
127:5
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
