Psalms 127:1-5 Unless LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless LORD guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Unless LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless LORD guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain. ² It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of toil, for so he gives sleep to his beloved. ³ Lo, sons are a heritage of LORD, and the fruit of the womb is a reward. ⁴ As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of youth. ⁵ Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
