1 Unless the LORD builds the house,they who build it labor in vain.Unless the LORD watches over the city,the watchman guards it in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,to stay up late,eating the bread of toil;for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3 Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD.The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,so are the children of youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. |
