Psalm 127 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Prosperity Comes from the LORD.

Psa 127:1

A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.

Unless^H518^H3808 the LORD^H3068 builds^H1129 a house^H1004,

They who build^H1129 it labor^H5998 in^H7723 vain^H7723;

Unless^H518^H3808 the LORD^H3068 guards^H8104 a city^H5892,

The watchman^H8104 stays^H8245 awake^H8245 in^H7723 vain^H7723.

Psa 127:2

It is futile^H7723 for you to rise^H6965 up^H6965 early^H7925,

To [fn]stay^H3427 up^H309 late^H309,

To eat^H398 the bread^H3899 of painful^H6089 labor^H6089;

This^H3651 is^H3651 how^H3651 He gives^H5414 to His beloved^H3039 sleep^H8142.

Psa 127:3

Behold^H2009, children^H1121 are a [fn]gift^H5159 of the LORD^H3068,

The fruit^H6529 of the womb^H990 is a reward^H7939.

Psa 127:4

Like arrows^H2671 in the hand^H3027 of a warrior^H1368,

So^H3651 are the children^H1121 of one’s youth^H5271.

Psa 127:5

Blessed^H835 is the man^H1397 whose^H834 quiver^H827 is full^H4390 of them;

They will not be^H954 ashamed^H954

When^H3588 they speak^H1696 with their enemies^H340 in the gate^H8179.
