Psalm 127:2-4
International Standard Version

2 It is useless to get up early
    and to stay up late,[a]
eating the food of exhausting labor—
    truly he gives sleep to those he loves.

3 Children[b] are a gift[c] from the Lord;
    a productive womb, the Lord’s[d] reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a warrior,
    so also are children[e] born during one’s[f] youth.
