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. PSALMS (127:1) (The Israel Bible™)   שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת לִשְׁלֹמֹה: אִם יְ-הוָה לֹא יִבְנֶה בַיִת שָׁוְא עָמְלוּ בוֹנָיו בּוֹ אִם יְ-הוָה לֹא יִשְׁמָר עִיר שָׁוְא שָׁקַד שׁוֹמֵר תהילים קכז:א sheer ha-ma-a-lot lish-lo-moh im a-do-nai lo yiv-neh va-yit shav a-m'-lu vo-nav bo im a-do-nai lo yish-mor eer shav sha-kad sho-mayr Jerusalem Inspiration Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra writes that this psalm was composed after it was told that Solomon, not David, would build the Temple of God in Jerusalem.  King David points out that it is the hand of God that determines everything, and man's toil is in vain if God does not will his work to prosper.  Looking at the flourishing State of Israel it is not hard to see God's 'stamp of approval' in the blooming hills and grandeur of the built up cities, neighborhoods and industry.  The current BDS movement flies in the face of the God given prosperity that Israeli companies enjoy, for doesn't the psalmist tell us that if God did not will it, they would not succeed? Say no to BDS, and side with the Land of Israel that God has helped endure, grow and prosper.
