A Song of degrees for Solomon. 1Except the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the LORD protects the city, the vigilance of their sentries is to no avail.
2It is useless to rise early, or labor late into the night for meager food; for He provides sleep for His beloved.
3 Children are a heritage from the LORD; and offspring is reward from Him.
4Like arrows in the hand of an archer; so are the children of one's youth.
5Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them; he shall not be rebuffed when he confronts his enemies in the gate. A Song of degrees. Easy Reader Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2023 by Jim Musser. Used by Permission. All rights Reserved. Bible Hub |
