Psalm 127. Nisi Dominus.
EXCEPT the LORD build the house, * their labour is but lost that
build it.
2 Except the LORD keep the city, * the watchman waketh but in
vain.
3 It is but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so
late take rest, and eat the bread of carefulness; * for so he
giveth his beloved sleep.
4 Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb, * are an heritage
and gift that cometh of the LORD.
5 Like as the arrows in the hand of the giant, * even so are
the young children.
6 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; * they
shall not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the
gate.
