New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 127
1
Unless the LORD builds a house,<br>the work of the builders is wasted.<br>Unless the LORD protects a city,<br>guarding it with sentries will do no good.<br>
2
It is useless for you to work so hard<br>from early morning until late at night,<br>anxiously working for food to eat;<br>for God (Elohim) gives rest to his loved ones.<br>
3
Children are a gift from the LORD;<br>they are a reward from him.<br>
4
Children born to a young man<br>are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.<br>
5
How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!<br>He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.<br>
