Psalm 127:2

It is in vain that you rise up early

and go late to rest,

eating the bread of anxious toil;

for he gives to his beloved sleep.

In vain you rise early

and stay up late,

toiling for food to eat—

for he grants sleep to those he loves.

In vain you get up early and stay up late,

working hard to have enough food—

yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.

It is useless for you to work so hard

from early morning until late at night,

anxiously working for food to eat;

for God gives rest to his loved ones.

It is in vain for you who rise early and sit late,

eating the bread of anxious toil,

when thus he provides for his beloved in his sleep.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,

To eat the bread of sorrows:

For so he giveth his beloved sleep.
