Psalms 127 — OURB
127Verse 1Unless Adonai builds the house,they labor in vain who build it.Unless Adonai watches over the city,the watchman guards it in vain.Verse 2It is vain for you to rise up early,to stay up late,
eating the bread of toil;
for he gives sleep to his yadid ·beloved· ones.Verse 3Behold, children are a heritage of Adonai.The fruit of the womb is his reward.Verse 4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,so are the children of youth.Verse 5Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
