A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless Adonai builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless Adonai watches over the city, the watchman stands guard in vain.
Of David. Adonai is my light and my salvation: whom should I fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life: whom should I dread?
When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to observe the activity that is done upon the earth (his eyes not seeing sleep either day or night),
I, Adonai, watch over it, I water it every moment. I guard it day and night, so that no one may harm it.
For this reason, they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His Temple. The One seated on the throne will shelter them.
