New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalm 127

	Psa 127:1	A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.
	Psa 127:2	[It is] vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; [For] so He gives His beloved sleep.
	Psa 127:3	Behold, children [are] a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb [is] a reward.
	Psa 127:4	Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So [are] the children of one's youth.
	Psa 127:5	Happy [is] the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
