Psalm 127
A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.
They labor in vain that build it:
Except Jehovah keep the city,
The watchman waketh but in vain.
To take rest late,
To eat the bread of toil;
For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.
And the fruit of the womb is his reward.
So are the children of youth.
They shall not be put to shame,
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
