Psalm 127
New King James Version

Laboring and Prospering with theLord

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless theLordbuilds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless(A)theLordguards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It isvain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To(B)eat the bread of sorrows;
Forso He gives His beloved sleep.

3 Behold,(C)childrenarea heritage from theLord,
(D)The fruit of the wombisa(E)reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
Soarethe children of one’s youth.
5 (F)Happyisthe man who has his quiver full of them;
(G)They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
