Bible Reading for May 23

Psalms 127
[1] 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. [2] It is
vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:
for so he giveth his beloved sleep. [3] Lo, children are an heritage of the
LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
[4] As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the
youth. [5] Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall
not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Psalms 128
[1] Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
[2] For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and
it shall be well with thee.
[3] Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy
children like olive plants round about thy table. [4] Behold, that thus
shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. [5] The LORD shall bless
thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of
thy life. [6] Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon
Israel.

Psalms 129
[1] Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
[2] Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not
prevailed against me.
[3] The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. [4] The
LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. [5] Let
them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. [6] Let them be as
the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
[7] Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
[8] Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you:
we bless you in the name of the LORD.
