­PSA 127:1  Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:

 except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

 

­PSA 127:2  It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the

 bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

 

­PSA 127:3  Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb

 is his reward.

 

­PSA 127:4  As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the

 youth.

 

­PSA 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.
