Psalm 127 sung acapella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: CM
1 Unless the LORD builds up the house,
its builders toil in vain;
Unless he keeps the city safe,
they vainly watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise before the dawn
and late hours vainly keep
That you may toil for food to eat—
he gives his loved ones sleep.
3 Sons are a precious heritage,
a blessing from the LORD;
The children that are born to us
are truly his reward.
4 Like arrows in a warrior’s hand
are children of one’s youth.
5 The man whose quiver’s full of them
is blessed by God in truth.
Such men will not be put to shame—
that will not be their fate—
When they contend against their foes
who face them in the gate.
