Psalm 127

Psalm 127 is a wisdom psalm reminding us that it is God who builds the house. We need God inhabiting all of our labor if we are to be fruitful. In Hebrew the word "house" is used not only of a physical house, but also of a household. In Psalm 127, the worshipers declare that both come from the LORD. At the center of Psalm 127 is an affirmation that God gives his beloved sleep. Following the weekly and daily rhythms of labor and rest is an act of faith, trusting that God is at work and our fruitfulness is in him.

To sing this psalm we adapted words from The Psalter (1912) and set them to an original melody.
