Psalm 127 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional EditionOnly the Lord Can Bless a Home (A song by Solomon for worship.) 1 Without the help of the Lord it is useless to build a home or to guard a city. 2 It 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. 3 Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord. 4 Having a lot of children to take care of you in your old age is like a warrior with a lot of arrows. 5 The more you have, the better off you will be, because they will protect you when your enemies attack you in court. |
