The principal of this psalm is that all human efforts are in vain unless they have God’s blessing.
II. God’s Sovereignty in Family Life (127:3-5).
Verses 1-2: God sovereignty is seen in 3 realms:
(1) Building a house;
(2) Protecting a city; and
(3) Earning a living.
In all 3 instances sown above, the sovereign intention of God is far more crucial to the outcome than is man’s efforts.
Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain.
Psalm 127:2 [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.
Psalm 127:3 Lo, children [are] a heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
Psalm 127:5 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."
