Except the LORD build
the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD
keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain.
127:2
[It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to
eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.
127:3
Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the
fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
127:4
As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are]
children of the youth.
127:5
Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they
shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in
the gate.
