A Song ⁷⁸⁹² of degrees ⁴⁶⁰⁹ for Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰ . # Except the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ build ^{1129 , 8799} the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ , they labour ^{5998 , 8804} in vain ⁷⁷²³ that build ^{1129 , 8802} it: except the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ keep ^{8104 , 8799} the city ⁵⁸⁹² , the watchman ^{8104 , 8802} waketh ^{8245 , 8804} but in vain ⁷⁷²³ . [for...: or, of Solomon] [that...: Heb. that are builders of it in it]

It is vain ⁷⁷²³ for you to rise up ^{6965 , 8800} early ^{7925 , 8688} , to sit up ^{3427 , 8800} late ^{309 , 8764} , to eat ^{398 , 8802} the bread ³⁸⁹⁹ of sorrows ⁶⁰⁸⁹ : for so he giveth ^{5414 , 8799} his beloved ³⁰³⁹ sleep ⁸¹⁴² .

Lo, children ¹¹²¹ are an heritage ⁵¹⁵⁹ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ : and the fruit ⁶⁵²⁹ of the womb ⁹⁹⁰ is his reward ⁷⁹³⁹ .

As arrows ²⁶⁷¹ are in the hand ³⁰²⁷ of a mighty man ¹³⁶⁸ ; so are children ¹¹²¹ of the youth ⁵²⁷¹ .
