Psalms 127:1

PSALM 127 Or rather, of Solomon, as this particle is generally used in this book. Nor is there any thing in this Psalm which gives us just ground to question whether Solomon was the author of it or no. No success in city or family without God's blessing and protection, Psalms 127:2. Good children are his gifts, Psalms 127:3,4. Their happiness that have them, Psalms 127:5. Build the house, i.e. assist and bless those that build the house; either an artificial house, the temple, or the royal palace, or any of those numerous structures which Solomon raised; or a natural or civil home, a family, or a state, or kingdom. They labour in vain that build it; they will never bring it to perfection, nor have any comfort in it.
