Psalm 127:1 BBE/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing. | 1 Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. |
