Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless athe Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To aeat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, achildren are a heritage from the Lord,
bThe fruit of the womb is a creward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 aHappy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
bThey shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
