Psalms 127

Every good thing comes from God #127:1 Psalm 127 tells us that only God can give us the good things that we need for life. He is the only one who can keep us safe.

1The Lord must build your house. If not, the work of the builders is useless. The Lord must keep the city safe. If not, the city guards are useless.

2It will not help you to work all day for food, and never stop. God gives food to the people that he loves. Even while they sleep, God takes care of them.

3Children are a gift from the Lord. He blesses us with descendants.

4If you have sons while you are a young man, they are like a soldier's arrows.

5If a man has many sons, God has blessed him. When his enemies speak against him at the city gate, they will not win.
