Psalm 127The Blessing of the Lord
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
Unless the Lord builds a house,
|
|
its builders labor over it in vain;
|
|
unless the Lord watches over a city,
|
|
the watchman stays alert in vain.
|
|
|
|
2. In vain you get up early and stay up late,
|
|
working hard to have enough food--
|
|
yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.
|
|
|
|
3. Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord,
|
|
offspring, a reward.
|
|
|
|
4. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
|
|
are the sons born in one's youth.
|
|
|
|
5. Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them.
|
|
|
|
They will never be put to shame
|
|
when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.
