The Psalms, starting at chapter 127
Psalm 127
A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.
{127:1} Unless the LORD builds the house,
they labor in vain who build it.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchman guards it in vain.
{127:2} It is vain for you to rise up early,
to stay up late,
eating the bread of toil;
for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
{127:3} Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD.
The fruit of the womb is his reward.
{127:4} As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
so are the children of youth.
{127:5} Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.
They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the
gate.
Psalm 128
A Song of Ascents.
{128:1} Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
who walks in his ways.
{128:2} For you will eat the labor of your hands.
You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
{128:3} Your wife will be as a fruitful vine,
in the innermost parts of your house;
your children like olive plants,
around your table.
{128:4} Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
{128:5} May the LORD bless you out of Zion,
and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
{128:6} Yes, may you see your children's children.
Peace be upon Israel.
Psalm 129
A Song of Ascents.
{129:1} Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.
Let Israel now say,
{129:2} many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,
yet they have not prevailed against me.
{129:3} The plowers plowed on my back.
They made their furrows long.
{129:4} The LORD is righteous.
He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
{129:5} Let them be disappointed and turned backward,
all those who hate Zion.
{129:6} Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up;
{129:7} with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand,
nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
{129:8} Neither do those who go by say,
"The blessing of the LORD be on you.
We bless you in the name of the LORD."
