Psalm 127 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.

³Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD,

and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

⁴Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

so are children born in one’s youth.

⁵Blessed is the man

whose quiver is full of them.He will not be put to shame

when he confronts the enemies at the gate.

— Psalm 127
