Psalm 127

NIV

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

¹Unless the Lord builds the house,

the builders labor in vain.

Unless the Lord watches over the city,

the guards stand watch in vain.

²In vain you rise early

and stay up late,

toiling for food to eat—

for he grants sleep to those he loves.

³Children are a heritage from the Lord,

offspring a reward from him.

⁴Like arrows in the hands of a warrior

are children born in one’s youth.

⁵Blessed is the man

whose quiver is full of them.

They will not be put to shame

when they contend with their opponents in court.
