A Song of Ascents. By Solomon
¹ Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
² In vain you rise early and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat- for he grants sleep to those he loves.
³ Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.
⁴ Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
⁵ Blessed 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.
