Psalms 127

1 The virtue of God's blessing. 3 Good children are his gift.

 127:1 ¶ [[A Song of degrees for Solomon.]] Except the LORD shall build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain.

 127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.

 127:3 Lo, children [are] a heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.

 127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man: so [are] children of the youth.

 127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
