Psalm 127:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995

Prosperity Comes from the Lord.

A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord (A)builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord (B)guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To [a]retire late,
To (C)eat the bread of [b]painful labors;
For He gives to His (D)beloved (E)even in his sleep.

3 Behold, (F)children are a [c]gift of the Lord,
The (G)fruit of the womb is a reward.
