1
A Song of the Ascents , by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked .
A song of ascents . Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.
2
Vain for you who are rising early , Who delay sitting , eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep .
In vain you rise early and stay up late , toiling for bread to eat— for He gives sleep to His beloved.
3
Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah ` are ' sons, A reward `is' the fruit of the womb.
Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward .
4
As arrows in the hand of a mighty one , So ` are ' the sons of the young men .
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior , so are children born in one’s youth .
5
O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them , They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate !
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them . He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate .
