The song that unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain
여호와께서 집을 세우지 아니하시면 수고가 헛되다는 노래
Psalm 127:1–5: the text says, “Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones. Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.” The Korean Revised Version names the LORD at 127:2 (그러므로 여호와께서 그 사랑하시는 자에게는 잠을 주시는도다), where WEB reads “for he gives sleep to his loved ones”. WEB opens 127:1 with the title “A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.”; the Korean Revised Version text this collection holds has no title in 127:1.
