Unless The Lord

{A Song of degrees for Solomon.} Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

• Righteous
• Waiting

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

• Bread

{A Song of degrees for Solomon.} Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
