Psalm 127 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 127

¹A song of ascents. Of Solomon. [1] Unless 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 [215] 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.
