| Chapter
127 |
| 1 |
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the
LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. |
| 2 | It is vain for you to rise up early, to
sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved
sleep. |
| 3 | Lo, children are
an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. |
| 4 | As arrows are in the hand of a
mighty man; so are children of the youth. |
| 5 | Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they
shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. |
