Psalm 127
A song to sing as we climb.
Solomon wrote this song.
Every good thing comes from God
127:1Psalm 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.
If not, the work of the builders is
The Lord must keep the city safe.
If not, the city
God gives food to the people that he loves.
Even while they sleep, God takes care of them.
He
they are like a soldier's
God has blessed him.
127:5A soldier with many arrows can fight well. A man with many children is in a good place. They help him to win against his enemies.
When his enemies speak against him at the city gate,
they will not win.
127:5The city gate was the place where people met to decide their quarrels.
