¹ Unless the Lord builds^(A) the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches^(B) over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.

⁴ But I said, “I have labored in vain;^(A)
    I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand,^(B)
    and my reward^(C) is with my God.”^(D)
