Psalms 127

127:1

<
<A Song <07892>

of degrees
<04609>

for Solomon
<08010>.>>

Except the LORD
<03068>

build
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

they labour
<05998> (8804)

in vain
<07723>

that build
<01129> (8802)

it: except the LORD
<03068>

keep
<08104> (8799)

the city
<05892>_,

the watchman
<08104> (8802)

waketh
<08245> (8804)

[but] in vain
<07723>_.

{for...: or, of Solomon} {that...: Heb. that are builders of it in it}

127:2

[It is] vain
<07723>

for you to rise up
<06965> (8800)

early
<07925> (8688)_,

to sit up
<03427> (8800)

late
<0309> (8764)_,

to eat
<0398> (8802)

the bread
<03899>

of sorrows
<06089>_:

[for] so he giveth
<05414> (8799)

his beloved
<03039>

sleep
<08142>_.

127:3

Lo, children
<01121>

[are] an heritage
<05159>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

[and] the fruit
<06529>

of the womb
<0990>

[is his] reward
<07939>_.

127:4

As arrows
<02671>

[are] in the hand
<03027>

of a mighty man
<01368>_;

so [are] children
<01121>

of the youth
<05271>_.

127:5

Happy
<0835>

[is] the man
<01397>

that hath his quiver
<0827>

full
<04390> (8765)

of them: they shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

but they shall speak
<01696> (8762)

with the enemies
<0341> (8802)

in the gate
<08179>_.

{his...: Heb. filled his quiver with them} {speak...: or, subdue, or, destroy}
