Context
1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain.
2vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3Lo, children an heritage of the LORD: the fruit of the womb reward.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so children of the youth.
