Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.
1Canticum graduum. [Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat— for He gives sleep to His beloved.
2Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
3Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
3Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuæ; filii tui sicut novellæ olivarum in circuitu mensæ tuæ.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.
4Ecce sic benedicetur homo qui timet Dominum.
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.
5Benedicat tibi Dominus ex Sion, et videas bona Jerusalem omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
