Psalms 127:1-3

¹A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman wakes in vain.

²In vain you rise early, and finish so late, and so eat sorrow's bread; for he cares for his loved ones in their sleep.

³Children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward.
