Verse Numbers
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1
Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
2
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to
[a]
those he loves.
3
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.
4
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children 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 opponents in court.
