A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked.
Psalms 127 : 2 (YLT)
Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.
Psalms 127 : 3 (YLT)
Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah [are] sons, A reward [is] the fruit of the womb.
Psalms 127 : 4 (YLT)
As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons of the young men.
Psalms 127 : 5 (YLT)
O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!
