Psalm 127:1-5
(Song of the goings up; of Solomon’s.)
127 If Jehovah is not building a houseits builders have taken useless trouble on it;If Jehovah is not guarding a citya guardsman has been uselessly vigilant.
2 It is useless for you when you get up early,do not sit down till late,Keep busy while you eat;he gives his loved ones the same in sleep.
3 Sons, now, are Jehovah’s allotting;the fruit of a wife’s body is a reward.
4 Like arrows in a champion’s hand,such are the sons of youthful years;
5 Happy the man who has filled his quiver with them.They will not come to grief when they speak with enemies in the gate.
