Psalm 127

A Song of degrees for Solomon

1. Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

The Psalms are a collection of Hebrew poems and hymns written by some of the greatest people in history sharing their most intimate moments of faith. Join us each day as we open our hearts and minds to the word of God. These praises from King David, Moses, and others have impacted kings and peasants, men and women, parents and children, for thousands of years. Now you can begin each day in the very same way.
