Psalms 127:1-4

¹A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. 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.

²It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.

³Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.

⁴As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
