Daniel Lyons' Notes

Ps-127


The Text

About Work

v1

Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

v2

It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

About Children

v3

Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

v4

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

v5

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
