1 Unless The LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it. Unless The LORD 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 The LORD. 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 put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 128 A Song of Ascents.
