Psalm 127:1-3
New International Version - UK
Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labour in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat –
for he grants sleep to[a] those he loves.
3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
