My Psalm 127 March 08

It is by the hand of the Lord alone that my life is blessed.

Were it not for the protection of my God

my life would be in constant peril.

In vain I pursue my wants, I chase my desires in vain

I seek to take on the weight of the world

But the Lord gives rest to those He loves.

Fruit is a heritage of the Lord's blessings,

a reward from Him

like arrows in the hands of a warrior

are those whom God has surrounded His mercies.

Blessed are those who God protects

they will not be put to shame.

when they contend with their enemies at the gate.
