Psalm 127
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Unless the LORD builds a house,
|
|
|
|
the work of the builders is wasted.
|
|
Unless the LORD protects a city,
|
|
|
|
guarding it with sentries will do no good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. It is useless for you to work so hard
|
|
|
|
from early morning until late at night,
|
|
anxiously working for food to eat;
|
|
|
|
for God gives rest to his loved ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Children are a gift from the LORD;
|
|
|
|
they are a reward from him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Children born to a young man
|
|
|
|
are like arrows in a warrior's hands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!
|
|
|
|
He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
