i1 [A Song of Ascents for Solomon.] i0 par Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless Jehovah guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par Blessed is Jehovah my Rock, who teaches my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;

The blessing of Jehovah, it makes rich, with no sorrow added.

For she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and I multiplied her silver and the gold which they prepared for Baal.

but because Jehovah loves you, and to keep the oath which He has sworn to your fathers, Jehovah has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Then it shall come to pass, because you obey these judgments, and keep and do them, that Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He has sworn to your fathers.
