[1]A SongH7892 of degreesH4609 for SolomonH8010. Except the LORDH3068 buildH1129[H8799] the houseH1004, they labourH5998[H8804] in vainH7723 that buildH1129[H8802] it: except the LORDH3068 keepH8104[H8799] the cityH5892, the watchmanH8104[H8802] wakethH8245[H8804] but in vainH7723. [1]A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
[2]It is vainH7723 for you to rise upH6965[H8800] earlyH7925[H8688], to sit upH3427[H8800] lateH309[H8764], to eatH398[H8802] the breadH3899 of sorrowsH6089: for so he givethH5414[H8799] his belovedH3039 sleepH8142. [2]It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.
[3]Lo, childrenH1121 are an heritageH5159 of the LORDH3068: and the fruitH6529 of the wombH990 is his rewardH7939. [3]Lo, children are a heritage of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
[4]As arrowsH2671 are in the handH3027 of a mighty manH1368; so are childrenH1121 of the youthH5271. [4]As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.
[5]HappyH835 is the manH1397 that hath his quiverH827 fullH4390[H8765] of them: they shall not be ashamedH954[H8799], but they shall speakH1696[H8762] with the enemiesH341[H8802] in the gateH8179. [5]Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
