1Unless the Lord builds the house,[#Ps 78.69; 121.4]
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord guards the city,
the guard keeps watch in vain.
2It is in vain that you rise up early[#Gen 3.17; Job 11.18, 19]
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil,
for he gives sleep to his beloved.
3Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord ,[#Gen 33.5; Deut 28.4; Josh 24.3, 4]
the fruit of the womb a reward.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the sons of one’s youth.
5Happy is the man who has[#Job 5.4; Prov 27.11]
his quiver full of them.
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
