I Lift My Eyes (121)

Un `less the LORD_ / builds the house,

`they who build it labor / in~ vain.

Un `less the LORD_ watches over / the~ city,

the `watchman guards it / in~ vain.

`It is vain for you to / rise up early,

to `stay up late, eating the / bread of toil,

`for_ / he gives sleep

`to his / loved~ ones.

(Ref)

`Children are a heritage_ / of the LORD.

The `fruit_ of the womb is / a reward.

As `arrows in the hand_ of a / warrior,

`so_ are the children / of~ youth. +

`Happy is the one who has his quiver / full of them.

`They will not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies_ / in the gate.
