Psalms 127

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of Solomon.
 1  Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.  2  It is useless for you to work so hard
  from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
  for God gives rest to his loved ones.

 3  Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him.  4  Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands.  5  How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!
  He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
