Prosperity Comes from the LORD.A Song of Ascents, of Solomon. | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 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 keeps awake in vain. | 1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. | 1 Except Jehovah build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except Jehovah keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain. | 1 Unless 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. | 1 A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked. | 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep. | 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. | 2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; For'so he giveth unto his beloved sleep. | 2 It 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, | 2 Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep. | 3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. | 3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. | 3 Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; And the fruit of the womb is his reward. | 3 behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb. | 3 Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah are sons, A reward is the fruit of the womb. | 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. | 4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. | 4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. | 4 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken. | 4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So are the sons of the young men. | 5 How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate. | 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. | 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. | 5 Blessed 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. | 5 O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate! |
