127:1

Book V: The Eighth Song of Degrees and the Architect of the House

A Song of degrees for Shalumoh. Except 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
127:2
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.
127:3

Children as the Heritage and the Kinetic Arrows

Lo, children are an heritage of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
127:4
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
127:5
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.
