Laboring and Prospering with the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless athe Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain. 
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To aeat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep. 
3 Behold, achildren are a heritage from the Lord,
bThe fruit of the womb is a creward. 
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
