Psaumes 127

1A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD shall build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain. 2It is vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. 3Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man: so are children of the youth.
