Psalm 127

Revised Version 1895

A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.

1ExceptH518 the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the houseH1004, they labour in vainH7723 that buildH1129 it: exceptH518 the LORDH3068 keepH8104 the cityH5892, the watchmanH8104 waketh but in vainH7723.
2It is vainH7723 for youH5414 that ye riseH6965 upH6965 earlyH7925, and soH3651 lateH309 takeH5414 rest, and eatH398 the breadH3899 of toil: for soH3651 he giveth unto his belovedH3039 sleepH8142.
3LoH2009, childrenH1121 are an heritageH5159 of the LORDH3068: and the fruitH6529 of the wombH990 is his rewardH7939.
4As arrowsH2671 in the handH3027 of a mightyH1368 manH1368, soH3651 are the childrenH1121 of youthH5271.
5HappyH835 is the manH1397 that hath his quiverH827 fullH4390 of them: they shall notH3808 be ashamedH954, when they speakH1696 with their enemiesH341 in the gateH8179.
