Psalm 127:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 It is no use for you to get up early
and stay up late,
working for a living.
The Lord gives sleep to those he loves.
3 Children are a gift from the Lord.
Babies are a reward.
4 Sons who are born to a young man
are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
Psalm 127:2-4
New King James Version
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To (A)eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, (B)children are a heritage from the Lord,
(C)The fruit of the womb is a (D)reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
