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.

¹² If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
Does not ^(A)He who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man ^(B)according to his deeds?

^3 (A)I, the Lord, keep it,
I water it every moment;
Lest any hurt it,
I keep it night and day.
