Psalm 127:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²It 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]

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