1 Except the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] keep the city, the watchman wakes [but] in vain.

2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he gives his beloved sleep.

3 Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.

4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth.

5 Happy [is] the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
