Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 127
A song of degrees, or Psalme of Salomon. Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vaine that build it: except the Lord keepe the citie, the keeper watcheth in vaine. Pro 14:11; 1Co 3:6It is in vaine for you to rise earely, and to lie downe late, and eate the bread of sorow: but he wil surely giue rest to his beloued. Jhn 21:3; Ezk 12:19Beholde, children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruite of the wombe his rewarde. 1Sa 1:27As are the arrowes in the hand of ye strong man: so are the children of youth. Blessed is the man, that hath his quiuer full of them: for they shall not be ashamed, when they speake with their enemies in the gate.
