# Psalm 127 [[Ps-126|← Psalm 126]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-128|Psalm 128 →]] *** ###### v1 Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain. ###### v2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones. ###### v3 Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. ###### v4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. ###### v5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. *** [[Ps-126|← Psalm 126]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-128|Psalm 128 →]]
