Psalm 127:1-2 New Living Translation

Psalm 127:1-2 NLT — A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of Solomon.

Unless the LORD builds a house,
the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the LORD protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard
from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
for God gives rest to his loved ones.
