Hebrew Old Testament (Masoretic Text)
1Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
1שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות בְּשׁ֣וּב יְ֭הוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַ֣ת צִיֹּ֑ון הָ֝יִ֗ינוּ כְּחֹלְמִֽים׃
2It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved,
2אָ֤ז יִמָּלֵ֪א שְׂחֹ֡וק פִּינוּ֮ וּלְשֹׁונֵ֪נוּ רִ֫נָּ֥ה אָ֭ז יֹאמְר֣וּ בַגֹּויִ֑ם הִגְדִּ֥יל יְ֝הוָ֗ה לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃
3Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
3הִגְדִּ֣יל יְ֭הוָה לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות עִמָּ֗נוּ הָיִ֥ינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃
4As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
4שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־*שְׁבוּתֵנוּ (שְׁבִיתֵ֑נוּ) כַּאֲפִיקִ֥ים בַּנֶּֽגֶב׃
5Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
5הַזֹּרְעִ֥ים בְּדִמְעָ֗ה בְּרִנָּ֥ה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃
