Psalm 127 - A Song of degrees for Solomon
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.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of
sorrows: giveth his beloved sleep.
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
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.
