1A Song7892 of degrees4609 for Solomon8010. Except the LORD3068 build1129 the house1004, they labour5998 in vain7723 that build1129 it: except the LORD3068 keep8104 the city5892, the watchman8104 waketh8245 but in vain7723.
2It is vain7723 for you to rise up6965 early7925, to sit up3427 late309, to eat398 the bread3899 of sorrows6089: for so he giveth5414 his beloved3039 sleep8142.
3Lo, children1121 are an heritage5159 of the LORD3068: and the fruit6529 of the womb990 is his reward7939.
4As arrows2671 are in the hand3027 of a mighty man1368; so are children1121 of the youth5271.
5Happy835 is the man1397 that hath his quiver827 full4390 of them: they shall not be ashamed954, but they shall speak1696 with the enemies341 in the gate8179.
