English Standard Version

New Living Translation

  • Unless the Lord Builds the House

    A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

    Unless the Lord builds the house,
    those who build it labor in vain.
    Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.
  • A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of Solomon.

    Unless the LORD builds a house,
    the work of the builders is wasted.
    Unless the LORD protects a city,
    guarding it with sentries will do no good.
  • It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
    eating the bread of anxious toil;
    for he gives to his beloved sleep.
  • It is useless for you to work so hard
    from early morning until late at night,
    anxiously working for food to eat;
    for God gives rest to his loved ones.
  • Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
    the fruit of the womb a reward.
  • Children are a gift from the LORD;
    they are a reward from him.
  • Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
    are the childrena of one’s youth.
  • Children born to a young man
    are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
  • Blessed is the man
    who fills his quiver with them!
    He shall not be put to shame
    when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.b
  • How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!
    He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
