Psalm 127:2

The Blessing Of The Lord

¹ {A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain: ² It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep. ³ Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, and the fruit of the womb a reward.
