1 (A song by Solomon for worship.) Without the help of the LORD it is useless to build a home or to guard a city. 2 It is useless to get up early and stay up late in order to earn a living. God takes care of his own, even while they sleep. 3 Children are a blessing and a gift from the LORD. 4 Having a lot of children to take care of you in your old age is like a warrior with a lot of arrows. 5 The more you have, the better off you will be, because they will protect you when your enemies attack with arguments.
