Builder Of My House (Righteous Still)

BUILDER  OF  MY  HOUSE

Psalm 127

Unless Yahuah builds the house,

It’s builders all work in vain.

Unless Yahuah guards the city,

The guard keeps inviting the pain.

In vain some get up so early

And put off from going to bed,

And working hard to earn living

And worry for water and bread.

Yah loves to provide for His people,

And even does so when they sleep.

With fruits of the womb He rewards them,

They watch children grow and leap.

The children born are all like arrows

In hands of a warrior strong.

How blessed is that man, for Almighty

Fills homes and hearts with a song:

“I will not be faint or embarrassed,

For Yah chose to bless me indeed,

And take care of me and my house,

In Him I have all that I need!”

PSALM 127  (KJV)

1 Except YAHUAH build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except YAHUAH keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

² It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so He giveth His beloved sleep.

³ Lo, children are an heritage of YAHUAH: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

⁴ As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

⁵ Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
