Psalms 127:1-2 God's Blessing on the Family

1 Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.

2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
