1271Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh
but in vain.+2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:
for so he giveth his beloved sleep.+3Lo, children
are an heritage of the LORD:
and the fruit of the womb
is his reward.+4As arrows
are in the hand of a mighty man; so
are
children of the youth.+5Happy
is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.+
