Psalm 127 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

The Blessing of the LORD

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

¶

Unless the LORD builds a house,

its builders labor over it in vain;

unless the LORD watches over a city,

the watchman stays alert in vain.

¶

In vain you get up early and stay up late,

working hard to have enough food —

yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.[fn]

¶

Sons are indeed a heritage from the LORD,

offspring, a reward.

¶

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior

are the sons born in one’s youth.

¶

Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them.

They will never be put to shame

when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.
