| 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. |
| 2. | It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones. |
| 3. | Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. 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 who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. |
