A song to sing as we climb.

Solomon wrote this song.

Every good thing comes from God[a]

127 The Lord must build your house.
    If not, the work of the builders is useless.
The Lord must keep the city safe.
    If not, the city guards are useless.
It will not help you to work all day for food, and never stop.
God gives food to the people that he loves.
    Even while they sleep, God takes care of them.

Footnotes

  1. 127:1 Psalm 127 tells us that only God can give us the good things that we need. We need a house to live in and we need food to eat. If we try to use our own strength to do things, it will not really help us. We need to trust God to give us the things that we need.
