¹ Unless the Lord builds a house,
its builders labor over it in vain;^(a)
unless the Lord watches over a city,
the watchman stays alert in vain.^(b)
2 In vain you get up early and stay up late,
working hard to have enough food—
yes, He gives sleep to the one He loves.^[a](c)

³ Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord,
children, a reward.^(d)
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the sons born in one's youth.^(e)
5 Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them.^(f)
Such men will never be put to shame
when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.^(g)
