127:1 Unless the Lord builds a house, the builders’ work is useless. Unless the Lord protects a city, sentries do no good.
127:2 It is senseless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, fearing you will starve to death; for God wants his loved ones to get their proper rest.
127:3 Children are a gift from God; they are his reward.
127:4 Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows to defend him.
127:5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. That man shall have the help he needs when arguing with his enemies.
