1 A Song 7892 of degrees 4609 for Solomon 8010. Except the LORD 3068 build 1129 the house 1004, they labour 5998 in vain 7723 that build 1129 it: except the LORD 3068 keep 8104 the city 5892, the watchman 8104 waketh 8245 but in vain 7723.
2 It is vain 7723 for you to rise up 6965 early 7925, to sit up 3427 late 309, to eat 398 the bread 3899 of sorrows 6089: for so he giveth 5414 his beloved 3039 sleep 8142.
3 Lo, children 1121 are an heritage 5159 of the LORD 3068: and the fruit 6529 of the womb 990 is his reward 7939.
4 As arrows 2671 are in the hand 3027 of a mighty man 1368; so are children 1121 of the youth 5271.
5 Happy 835 is the man 1397 that hath his quiver 827 full 4390 of them: they shall not be ashamed 954, but they shall speak 1696 with the enemies 341 in the gate 8179.
