Unless Yahweh Builds the House 1Unless Yahweh builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless Yahweh watches the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2It is in vain that you rise up early, That you sit out late, O you who eat the bread of [†]painful labors; For in this manner, He gives sleep to His beloved.
3Behold, children are [†]an inheritance of Yahweh, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.
5How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with enemies in the gate.
