chapter 127


Chapters:


verse #1

A Song of Ascents. By Solomon. Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.


verse #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.


verse #3

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


verse #4

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


verse #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.
