Psalm 127

1Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. the watchman guards it in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, 2to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones. It is vain for you to rise up early, 3The fruit of the womb is his reward. Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. 4so are the children of youth. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, 5They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.
