1 The virtue of God's blessing. 3 Good children are his gift.

127:1 ¶ [[A Song 7892 of degrees 4609 for Solomon.]] 8010 Except x518 x3808 the LORD 3068 build 1129 z8799 the house, 1004 they labour 5998 z8804 in vain 7723 that build 1129 z8802 it: except x518 x3808 the LORD 3068 keep 8104 z8799 the city, 5892 the watchman 8104 z8802 waketh 8245 z8804 [but] in vain. 7723

127:2 [It is] vain 7723 for you to rise up 6965 z8800 early, 7925 z8688 to sit up 3427 z8800 late, 309 z8764 to eat 398 z8802 the bread 3899 of sorrows: 6089 [for] so x3651 he giveth 5414 z8799 his beloved 3039 sleep. 8142

127:3 Lo, x2009 children 1121 [are] an heritage 5159 of the LORD: 3068 [and] the fruit 6529 of the womb 990 [is his] reward. 7939

127:4 As arrows 2671 [are] in the hand 3027 of a mighty x1368 man; y1368 so x3651 [are] children 1121 of the youth. 5271

127:5 Happy 835 [is] the man 1397 that x834 hath x853 his quiver 827 full 4390 z8765 of x4480 them: they shall not x3808 be ashamed, 954 z8799 but x3588 they shall speak 1696 z8762 with x854 the enemies 341 z8802 in the gate. 8179
