PSALM 127

« Psalm 126 | Psalm 127 | Psalm 128 »

Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

the watchman stays awake in vain.

Unless the Lord watches over the city,

those who build it labor in vain.

Unless the Lord builds the house,

2

It is in vain that you rise up early

and go late to rest,

eating the bread of anxious toil;

for he gives to his beloved sleep.
