Psalm 127 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Psa 127:1

Psa 127:1A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

Psa 127:2

Psa 127:2It 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.

Psa 127:3

Psa 127:3Lo, sons are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Psa 127:4

Psa 127:4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one's youth.

Psa 127:5

Psa 127:5Happy 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.
