Psalm 127:1-2

New American Standard Bible 1995

127 Unless the Lord ^(A)builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord ^(B)guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
² It is vain for you to rise up early,
To ^[a]retire late,
To ^(C)eat the bread of ^[b]painful labors;
For He gives to His ^(D)beloved ^(E)even in his sleep.
