Psalms:127

* 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 . * 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 . * Behold , children are a heritage from the LORD , The fruit of the womb is a reward . * Like arrows in the hand of a warrior , So are the children of one 's youth . * 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 .
