Psalms 127
Solomon
1 If Yahweh does not build the house, in vain the masons toil; if Yahweh does not guard the city, in vain the sentries watch.
2 In vain you get up earlier, and put off going to bed, sweating to make a living, since he provides for his beloved as they sleep.
3 Sons are a bounty from Yahweh, he rewards with descendants:
4 like the arrows in a hero’s hand are the sons you father when young.
5 Happy the man who has filled his quiver with arrows of this sort; in dispute with his enemies at the gate,[*a] he will not be worsted.
