NASB1995 ▾Psalms ▾127 ▾Psalms 1271Unless the L ord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the L ord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.2It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.3Behold, children are a gift of the L ord , The fruit of the womb is a reward.4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.5How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.Psalms 126Psalms 128
