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

Psalms 127 Study & Commentary
Psalm 127 declares that unless the Lord builds the house, the laborers work in vain. It emphasizes that children are a heritage and a reward from the Lord.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
