Unless the Lord Builds the House
A Song of mAscents. Of Solomon.
1Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord xwatches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious ytoil;
for he gives to his zbeloved asleep.
3Behold, bchildren are a heritage from the Lord,
cthe fruit of the womb a reward.
4Like arrows in the hand of da warrior
are the children1 of one's youth.
5Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies ein the gate.2
