127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
    those who build it labour in vain.
Unless the Lord ^(B)watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.

^4 (A)But I said, “I have laboured in vain;
    I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
    and my recompense with my God.”
