Psalms

127

Legacy Standard Bible

1 A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless Yahweh builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless Yahweh watches the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.

2 That you sit out late, O you who eat the bread of painful labors; For in this manner, He gives sleep to His beloved.

3 The fruit of the womb is a reward.

4 So are the children of one’s youth.

5 They will not be ashamed When they speak with enemies in the gate.
