“^(A)May the beloved of the Lord live in security beside Him
^(B)Who shields him all the day long,
^(C)And he lives between His shoulders.”

² It is futile for you to rise up early,
To ^[a]stay up late,
To ^(A)eat the bread of painful labor;
This is how He gives to His ^(B)beloved ^(C)sleep.

5 Let me sing now for my beloved
A song of my beloved about His vineyard.
My beloved had a ^(A)vineyard on ^[a]a fertile hill.

¹⁵ What right has My ^(A)beloved in My house
When ^(B)she has carried out many evil schemes?
Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster,
^[a]So that you can rejoice?”
