Psalm 127 (Young's Literal Translation)
View In My Bible
1
A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked.
2
Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.
3
Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah [are] sons, A reward [is] the fruit of the womb.
4
As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons of the young men.
5
O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!
