Psalm 127:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

²It is vain for you to rise up early,
To ^[a]retire late,
To ^(A)eat the bread of ^[b]painful labors;
For He gives to His ^(B)beloved ^(C)even in his sleep.

³Behold, ^(D)children are a ^[c]gift of the Lord,
The ^(E)fruit of the womb is a reward.
⁴Like arrows in the hand of a ^(F)warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
