Psalms Chapter 127 (DRC)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 A gradual canticle. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayst thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 And mayst thou see thy children's children, peace upon Israel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Psalm 127 about?
It teaches that human effort is futile without God: "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it" (v.1), extending this to a watchman's vigilance and rising early to work (vv.1-2).
What does the psalm say about children?
Verses 3-5 call children "an heritage of the LORD" and compare them to "arrows... in the hand of a mighty man," saying a man with many children is "happy" and unashamed when facing enemies "in the gate."
What does verse 2 say about sleep?
V.2 says God "giveth his beloved sleep," part of the psalm's argument that striving without God ("rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows") is vain.
