A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. ¹

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD guards the city, the guard keeps watch in vain. ² It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives sleep to his beloved. ^a Gk Jerome: Meaning of Heb uncertain

Sons are indeed a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. ⁴ Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one's youth. ⁵ Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
