127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD shall build
the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD
shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain.
127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat
the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.
127:3 Lo, children [are] a heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit
of the womb [is his] reward.
127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man: so [are]
children of the youth.
127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they
shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in
the gate.
