[[A song of degrees, or Psalm Chapter of Solomon.]]
[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]Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the keeper watcheth 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 in vain for you to rise early , and to lie down late, and eat the bread of sorrow: but he will surely give rest to his beloved.
[3]Lo, childrenH1121 are an heritageH5159 of the LORDH3068: and the fruitH6529 of the wombH990 is his rewardH7939. [3]Behold, children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb his reward.
[4]As arrowsH2671 are in the handH3027 of a mighty manH1368; so are childrenH1121 of the youthH5271. [4]As are the arrows in the hand of the strong man: so are the children of 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]Blessed is the man, that hath his quiver full of them: for they shall not be ashamed, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
