Psalms 127

A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.

1Except Jehovah buildH1129 the houseH1004,They labor in vain that buildH1129 it:Except Jehovah keepH8104 the cityH5892,The watchmanH8104 waketh but in vain.2It is vain for you to riseH6965 up earlyH7925,To take rest late,To eatH398 the breadH3899 of toil;ForsoH3651 he giveth unto his belovedH3039 sleepH8142.3Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah;Andthe fruitH6529 of the wombH990 ishisrewardH7939.4As arrowsH2671 in the handH3027 of a mightyH1368 manH1368,SoH3651 are the children of youthH5271.5Happy is the manH1397 that hath his quiverH827 fullH4390 of them:They shall not be putH954 to shameH954,When they speakH1696 with their enemiesH341 in the gateH8179.
