Psalm 127:1-2 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹Unless the LORD builds the house,

its builders labor in vain;

unless the LORD protects the city,

its watchmen stand guard in vain.

²In vain you rise early

and stay up late,

toiling for bread to eat —

for He gives sleep to His beloved.

— Psalm 127:1-2
