Psalm 127:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

2 It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil,
    for he gives sleep to his beloved.[a](A)

3 Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord,
    the fruit of the womb a reward.(B)
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
    are the sons of one’s youth.
