Psalm 127, Building and Keeping God’s Church
Psalm 127 (KJV)
- 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.
- 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.
- Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
- As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
- 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.
