Psalms - Chapter 127 - King James Version

  1. Except theLORDbuild the house, they labour in vain that build it: except theLORDkeep the city, the watchman wakethbutin vain.
  2. It isvain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:forso he giveth his beloved sleep.
  3. Lo, childrenarean heritage of theLORD:andthe fruit of the wombis hisreward.
  4. As arrowsarein the hand of a mighty man; soarechildren of the youth.
  5. Happyisthe man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
