A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought [them] to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that [was] its name.

[He who] finds a wife finds a good [thing,] And obtains favor from the LORD.

Houses and riches [are] an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife [is] from the LORD.

Marriage [is] honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
