Tap a verse to highlight it

1 The title of the hundrid and seuene and twentithe salm. The song of greces. Blessid ben alle men, that dreden the Lord; that gon in hise weies.

2 For thou schalt ete the trauels of thin hondis; thou art blessid, and it schal be wel to thee.

3 Thi wijf as a plenteous vyne; in the sidis of thin hous. Thi sones as the newe sprenges of olyue trees; in the cumpas of thi bord.

4 Lo! so a man schal be blessid; that dredith the Lord.

5 The Lord blesse thee fro Syon; and se thou the goodis of Jerusalem in alle the daies of thi lijf.

6 And se thou the sones of thi sones; se thou pees on 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.
