Psalms 127

1A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except Jehovah^H3068 build^H1129 the house^H1004, They labor^H5998 in vain^H7723 that build^H1129 it: Except Jehovah^H3068 keep^H8104 the city^H5892, The watchman^H8104 waketh^H8245 but in vain^H7723. 2It is vain^H7723 for you to rise up^H6965 early^H7925, To take rest^H3427 late^H309, To eat^H398 the bread^H3899 of toil^H6089; For so he giveth^H5414 unto his beloved^H3039 sleep^H8142. 3Lo, children^H1121 are a heritage^H5159 of Jehovah^H3068; And the fruit^H6529 of the womb^H990 is his reward^H7939. 4As arrows^H2671 in the hand^H3027 of a mighty man^H1368, So are the children^H1121 of youth^H5271. 5Happy^H835 is the man^H1397 that hath his quiver^H827 full^H4390 of them: They shall not be put to shame^H954, When they speak^H1696 with their enemies^H341 in the gate^H8179.
