Psalms 127 WEB

¹ Unless Yahweh builds the house, They labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, The watchman guards it in vain.

² It is vain for you to rise up early, To stay up late, Eating the bread of toil; For he gives sleep to his loved ones.

³ Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

⁴ As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.

⁵ Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
