Berean Standard Bible
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.
1Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat— for He gives sleep to His beloved.
2For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
3Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
5May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
