¹ Unless Yahweh builds a house,
its builders labor at it in vain.
Unless Yahweh guards a city,
a guard watches in vain.
² It is in vain for you who rise early and sit late,
eating the bread of anxious toil,
when thus he^[b] provides^[c] for his beloved in his sleep.^[d]
3 Look, children^[e] are the heritage^[f] of Yahweh;
the fruit of the womb is a reward.
⁴ Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
so are the children^[g] of one's youth.
⁵ Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.^[h]
They shall not be put to shame
when they speak with enemies at the gate.
