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.

⁷ The watchmen found me
    as they made their rounds in the city.^(A)
They beat me, they bruised me;
    they took away my cloak,
    those watchmen of the walls!
