\q
|
|
\v 1 Unless Yahweh builds the house,
|
|
\q they work uselessly, those who build it.
|
|
\q Unless Yahweh guards the city,
|
|
\q the watchman stands guard uselessly.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 It is useless for you to rise up early,
|
|
\q to come home late,
|
|
\q or to eat the bread of hard work,
|
|
\q for Yahweh provides for his beloved as they sleep.

\v 3 See, children are a heritage from Yahweh,
|
|
\q and the fruit of the womb is a reward from him.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
|
|
\q so are the children of one's youth.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 How blessed is the man that has his quiver full of them.
|
|
\q He will not be put to shame
|
|
\q when he confronts his enemies in the gate.
