1
A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.
If [the Speech of] Yahweh does not build the house,They labor in vain who build it:If [the Speech of] Yahweh does not keep the city,The watchman wakes but in vain.
2
It is vain for you⁺ to rise up early,To take rest late,To eat the bread of toil;Thus he gives to his beloved sleep.
3
Look, sons are a heritage of Yahweh;[And] the fruit of the womb is [his] reward.
4
As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,So are the sons of youth.
5
Happy is the [noble] man who has his quiver full of them:They will not be put to shame,When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
