The Psalter According to the Seventy


Psalm 126

An Ode of Ascents.

Except the Lord build the house, in vain do they labour that build it.
2 Except the Lord guard the city, in vain doth he watch that guardeth her; it is vain for you to rise at dawn.
3 Ye that eat the bread of sorrow, rouse yourselves after resting, when He hath given sleep to His beloved.
4 Lo, sons are the heritage of the Lord, the reward of the fruit of the womb.
5 Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of them that were outcasts.
6 Blessed is he that shall fulfil his desires with them; they shall not be put to shame when they speak to their enemies in the gates.
