(Psalm 127)
If the Lord does not build the house, the work of the builders is useless;
If the Lord does not protect the city, it does no good for the sentries to stand guard
It is useless to work so hard for a living, getting up early and going to bed late.
For the Lord provides for those he loves, while they are asleep.
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a real blessing.
The sons a man has when he is young are like arrows in a soldier's hand.
Happy is the man who has many such arrows.
He will never be defeated when he meets his enemies in the place of judgment.
