A Solomonic * song of ascents.
1 Unless the Lord builds a house,
its builders labor over it in vain; q
unless the Lord watches over a city,
the watchman stays alert in vain. r
2 In vain you get up early and stay up late,
working hard to have enough food—
yes, He gives sleep to the one He loves. s t
3 Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord,
children, a reward. u
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the sons born in one’s youth. v
5 Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them. w
Such men will never be put to shame

About The Holman Christian Standard BibleThe complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form. Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader. Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him. |
