Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of (A)Ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
    those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord (B)watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious (C)toil;
    for he gives to his (D)beloved (E)sleep.

I (A)lay down and slept;
    I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
I (B)will not be afraid of many thousands of people
    who have (C)set themselves against me all around.

Read full chapter

In peace I will both (A)lie down and sleep;
    for you alone, O Lord, make me (B)dwell in safety.

28 (A)Come to (B)me, all who labor and are (C)heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
