A Song of degrees for Solomon.

Except the LORD shall build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain. ^{▼▼for...: or, of Solomon
,} ^{▼▼that...: Heb. that are builders of it in it} 2 It is vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. ^{▼▼his...: Heb. filled his quiver with them
,} ^{▼▼speak...: or, subdue, or, destroy}
