Psalm 127 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Prosperity Comes from the LORD.

Psa 127:1

A Song of [fn]Ascents. Of Solomon.

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.

Psa 127:2

It is vain for you to rise early,

To retire late,

To eat the bread of anxious labors—

For He gives [blessings] to His beloved even in his sleep.

Psa 127:3

Behold, children are a heritage and gift from the LORD,

The fruit of the womb a reward.

Psa 127:4

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one’s youth.

Psa 127:5

How blessed [happy and fortunate] is the man whose quiver is filled with them;

They will not be ashamed

When they speak with their enemies [in gatherings] at the [city] gate.
