A Prayer for Protection and Prosperity
127 A song of ascents. Of Solomon.a
1 Unless Yahweh builds a house,
its builders labor at it in vain.
Unless Yahweh guards a city,
a guard watches in vain.
2 It is in vain for you who rise early and sit late,
eating the bread of anxious toil,
when thus heb providesc for his beloved in his sleep.d
3 Look, childrene are the heritagef of Yahweh;
the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
so are the childreng of one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.h
They shall not be put to shame
when they speak with enemies at the gate.
