Psalm 127:1-2 (NIV)Unless the Lord builds the house,the builders labor in vain.Unless the Lord watches over the city,the guards stand watch in vain.2 In vain you rise earlyand stay up late,toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to[a] those he loves.

Psalm 127:1-2 (TLB)Unless the Lord builds a house, the builders’ work is useless. Unless the Lord protects a city, sentries do no good. 2 It is senseless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, fearing you will starve to death; for God wants his loved ones to get their proper rest.
