Psalm 127-128
New King James Version
Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless (A)the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To (B)eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, (C)children are a heritage from the Lord,
(D)The fruit of the womb is a (E)reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 (F)Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
(G)They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
Blessings of Those Who Fear the Lord
A Song of Ascents.
128 Blessed (H)is every one who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.
2 (I)When you eat the [a]labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be (J)well with you.
3 Your wife shall be (K)like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your (L)children (M)like olive plants
All around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.
5 (N)The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you (O)see your children’s children.
(P)Peace be upon Israel!
