Psalm 127:2-4
Tree of Life Version

2 In vain you rise up early and stay up late,
    eating the bread of toil—
for He provides for His beloved ones even in their sleep.

3 Behold, children are a heritage of Adonai
—the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man,
so are the children of one’s youth.
