Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.It is in vain that you rise early and stay up late, eating the bread of painful toil; for he gives sleep to his beloved.Indeed, children are a heritage from the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.Like arrows in a warrior’s hand are sons born in one’s youth.Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with enemies at the gate.
