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

Prosperity Comes from the LORD.

Psa 127:1

A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.

Unless the LORD builds a house,

They who build it labor in vain;

Unless the LORD guards a city,

The watchman stays awake in vain.

Psa 127:2

It is futile for you to rise up early,

To [fn]stay up late,

To eat the bread of painful labor;

This is how He gives to His beloved sleep.

Psa 127:3

Behold, children are a [fn]gift of the LORD,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Psa 127:4

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one’s youth.

Psa 127:5

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;

They will not be ashamed

When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
