Psalm 127

1 Unless the LORD builds up the house,
its builders toil in vain;
Unless he keeps the city safe,
they vainly watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise before the dawn
and late hours vainly keep
that you may toil for food to eat -
he gives his loved ones sleep.
3 Sons are a precious heritage
a blessing from the LORD;
the children that are born to us
are truly his reward.
4 Like arrows in a warrior's hand
are children of one's youth.
5 The man whose quiver's full of them
is blessed by God in truth.
Such men will not be put to shame -
that will not be their fate -
when they contend against their foes
who face them in the gate.

Psalm 128

1 How blessed are all who fear the LORD,
who walk the way that he has shown.
2 Success and blessing will be yours;
You'll eat the fruit that you have grown.
3 Your wife will be a fruitful vine;
and round your table will be placed
your children like young olive shoots.
4 Thus he who fears the Lord is blessed.
5 May you behold Jerus'lem's good;
From Zion may God's blessing flow.
6 Your children's children may you see.
May God on Isr'el peace bestow!
