Psalms 127
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
1Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
2For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD : and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
3Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
5May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
