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.
