1 Unless the Lord builds the house,they labour in vain who build it.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.
