Themes in Psalm 127

A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.
Unless the Lord

builds the house,

They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord

guards the city,

The watchman keeps awake in vain.

It 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.

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.

How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;

They will not be ashamed

When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
