The Book of Psalms
Chapter 126
1 – Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
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.
4 – As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
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.
