| 1. | {A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.} Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain. | Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. |
