Prosperity Comes from the LORD.
A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.
1Unless the L
ORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the L
ORD guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2It is vain for you to rise up early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of painful labors;
For He gives to His beloved
even in his sleep.
3Behold, children are a gift of the L
ORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
<< Psalm 127 >>
