127 | Psalms | ||
1 | Unless Yahweh builds the house, those who build it labour in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. | In Praise of God's Goodness. Psalm 127(v126) | |
2 | It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. | ||
3 | Lo, sons are a heritage from Yahweh, the fruit of the womb a reward. | ||
4 | Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one's youth. | ||
5 | Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. | ||
