Psalm 126

Nothing can be done without God’s grace and blessing.

1. 1

   Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

2. 2

   It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved, 3 Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.

3. 3

   behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.

4. 4

   As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.

5. 5

   Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
