Psalm 127:1-2
Contemporary English Version

(A song by Solomon for worship.)

Only the Lord Can Bless a Home

1 Without the help of the Lord
it is useless to build a home
    or to guard a city.
2 It is useless to get up early
and stay up late
    in order to earn a living.
God takes care of his own,
    even while they sleep.[a]
