Psalm 127:2

The Blessing Of The Lord

¹ {A song of the stairs} Except the LORD build the house, their labour is but lost that build it. Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. ² It is but lost labour that ye rise up early, and take no rest, but eat the bread of carefulness; for so he giveth his beloved sleep. ³ Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb are a heritage and gift, that cometh of the LORD.
