[1]Except the Lord build the house, they that build labour in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain. [No book]
[2]It is vain for you to rise early: ye rise up after resting, ye that eat the bread of grief; while he gives sleep to his beloved. [No book]
[3]Behold, the inheritance of the Lord, children, the reward of the fruit of the womb. [No book]
[4]As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so are the children of those who were outcasts. [No book]
[5]Blessed is the man who shall satisfy his desire with them: they shall not be ashamed when they shall speak to their enemies in the gates. [No book]
