A Song of ascents or of degrees for Solomon (Psalm 127:1-5 NIV)

"Unless the LORD builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat -
for he grants sleep to those he loves or -
for while they sleep he provides for those he loves.
Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one's youth.
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame when they contend
with their opponents in court."
