Psalms 127:1

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

1Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.

2In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep toOr eat— / for while they sleep he provides for those he loves.

3Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.

4Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.

5Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

The house build by Jesus which is the wisdom is the Church and the seven pillars is the seven sacraments which within inside the church. And sole pillar of truth is the church alone (1 tem 3:15-16) therefore no one can teach the truth except the church founded by Christ. Authorized to teach(Mat 28:20)and unfalliable (Mat 16:19)
