Tehillim, starting at chapter 127
Psalm 127
A [1>]Ma`alot Song[<1]. By Shlomo.
{127:1} Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
The watchman guards it in vain.
{127:2} 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.
{127:3} Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD.
The fruit of the womb is his reward.
{127:4} As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
So are the children of youth.
{127:5} Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.
They won't be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the
gate.
Psalm 128
A [1>]Ma`alot Song[<1].
{128:1} Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
Who walks in his ways.
{128:2} For you will eat the labor of your hands.
You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
{128:3} Your wife will be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of your house;
Your children like olive plants,
Around your table.
{128:4} Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
{128:5} May the LORD bless you out of Tziyon,
And may you see the good of Yerushalayim all the days of your life.
{128:6} Yes, may you see your children's children.
Shalom be upon Yisra'el.
Psalm 129
A [1>]Ma`alot Song[<1].
{129:1} Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.
Let Yisra'el now say,
{129:2} Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
{129:3} The plowers plowed on my back.
They made their furrows long.
{129:4} The LORD is righteous.
He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
{129:5} Let them be put to shame and turned backward,
All those who hate Tziyon.
{129:6} Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up;
{129:7} With which the reaper doesn't fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
{129:8} Neither do those who go by say,
"The blessing of the LORD be on you.
We bless you in the name of the LORD."
