the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the LORD protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do no good.

guarding it with sentries will do no good.

{A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:
{A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:
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.
from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
for God gives rest to his loved ones.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep.
Children are a gift from the LORD;
they are a reward from him.
they are a reward from him.
Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, [and] the fruit of the womb a reward.
Children born to a young man
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.
