1 A Song H7892 of degrees H4609 for Solomon. H8010 Except H518 H3808 the LORD H3068 build H1129 the house, H1004 they labor H5998 in vain H7723 that build H1129 it: except H518 H3808 the LORD H3068 keep H8104 the city, H5892 the watchman H8104 waketh H8245 but in vain. H7723
2 It is vain H7723 for you to rise up H6965 early, H7925 to sit up H3427 late, H309 to eat H398 the bread H3899 of sorrows: H6089 for so H3651 he giveth H5414 his beloved H3039 sleep. H8142
3 Lo H2009 , children H1121 are a heritage H5159 of the LORD: H3068 and the fruit H6529 of the womb H990 is his reward. H7939
4 As arrows H2671 are in the hand H3027 of a mighty H1368 man; so H3651 are children H1121 of the youth. H5271
5 Happy H835 is the man H1397 that H834 hath H853 his quiver H827 full H4390 of H4480 them : they shall not H3808 be ashamed, H954 but H3588 they shall speak H1696 with H854 the enemies H341 in the gate. H8179
