| 1: 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. |
| |
| 2: It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat
the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. |
| |
| 3:
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the
womb is his reward. |
| |
| 4: As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of
the youth. |
| |
| 5: Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall
not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. |
