A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. |
1
|
Except YAHUVEH build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except
YAHUVEH keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain. |
2
|
It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread
of toil; For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep. |
3
|
Lo, children are a heritage of YAHUVEH; And the fruit of the womb
is his reward. |
4
|
As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. |
5
|
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be
put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. |
