Prosperity Comes from the Lord.
A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lordbuilds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lordguards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of painful labors;
For He gives to His belovedeven in hissleep.
3 Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
