A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. 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. 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.
Unless You, Lord, build our ministry, we labor in vain. Unless, You watch over our actions and words, our ministry is a denial, not a glorification of You. We are called to trust You in all circumstances and not to fret for You give us, Your beloved, to restful and sweet sleep.
