Psalm 127:2-4

Expanded Bible

² It is ·no use [in vain; without purpose] for you to get up early
    and stay up late,
·working for a living [^Leating the bread of hardship/pain].
    The Lord ·gives sleep to those he loves [or provides for those he loves while they sleep].
³ Children are ·a gift [an inheritance] from the Lord;
    ·babies [^Lthe fruit of the womb] are a reward.
⁴ Children ·who are born to a young man [^Lof one’s youth]
    are like arrows in the hand of a warrior [^Cthey help in the challenges and conflicts of life].
