	MSB Majority Standard Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.	Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.	A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
2	In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.	It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.	In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.
3	Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.	Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.	Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.
4	Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.	Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.	Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.
5	Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.	Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.	Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
