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.

Behold, (D)children are a [b]gift of the Lord,
The (E)fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a (F)warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
