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