Today's bible teaching: 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.

Psalm 127

King James Version

127 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.

Today's prayer: Bless the LORD, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name!

Psalm 103
Of David.

I

Bless the LORD, my soul;

all my being, bless his holy name!

2Bless the LORD, my soul;

and do not forget all his gifts,

3Who pardons all your sins,

and heals all your ills,

4Who redeems your life from the pit,a

and crowns you with mercy and compassion,

5Who fills your days with good things,

so your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.*

II

6The LORD does righteous deeds,

brings justice to all the oppressed.b

7He made known his ways to Moses,

to the Israelites his deeds.

8Merciful and gracious is the LORD,

slow to anger, abounding in mercy.c

9He will not always accuse,

and nurses no lasting anger;

10He has not dealt with us as our sins merit,

nor requited us as our wrongs deserve.

III

11For as the heavens tower over the earth,

so his mercy towers over those who fear him.d

12As far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our sins from us.

13As a father has compassion on his children,

so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

14For he knows how we are formed,

remembers that we are dust.e

15As for man, his days are like the grass;

he blossoms like a flower in the field.f

16A wind sweeps over it and it is gone;

its place knows it no more.

17But the LORD’s mercy is from age to age,

toward those who fear him.

His salvation is for the children’s children

18of those who keep his covenant,

and remember to carry out his precepts.

IV

19The LORD has set his throne in heaven;

his dominion extends over all.

20Bless the LORD, all you his angels,g

mighty in strength, acting at his behest,

obedient to his command.

21Bless the LORD, all you his hosts,

his ministers who carry out his will.

22Bless the LORD, all his creatures,

everywhere in his domain.

Bless the LORD, my soul!
