Psalms, chapter 127
(A song by Solomon for worship 127 Title A song by Solomon for worship: See the notes at 120 Title and 72 Title. Solomon was responsible for building the temple..)
Only the Lord Can Bless a Home
ithout the help of the Lord
it is useless to build a home or to guard a city.
Without the help of the Lord it is useless to build a home or to guard a city.
— Ps 127.1
2It is useless to get up early and stay up late
in order to earn a living.
God takes care of his own, even while they sleep.
3Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.
4Having a lot of children
to take care of you in your old age
is like a warrior with a lot of arrows.
5The more you have, the better off you will be,
because they will protect you
when your enemies attack you in court.
