Psalms 127

A Song of degrees for Solomon.

1Except the LORDH3068 shall buildH1129 the houseH1004, they labourH5998 in vainH7723 that buildH1129 it: except the LORDH3068 shall keepH8104 the cityH5892, the watchmanH8104 wakethH8245 in vainH7723.12 2It is vainH7723 for you to riseH6965 earlyH7925, to sit upH3427 lateH309, to eatH398 the breadH3899 of sorrowsH6089: for so he givethH5414 his belovedH3039 sleepH8142. 3Lo, childrenH1121 are an heritageH5159 of the LORDH3068: and the fruitH6529 of the wombH990 is his rewardH7939. 4As arrowsH2671 are in the handH3027 of a mighty manH1368; so are childrenH1121 of the youthH5271. 5HappyH835 is the manH1397 that hath his quiverH827 fullH4390 of them: they shall not be ashamedH954, but they shall speakH1696 with the enemiesH341 in the gateH8179.34
