Psalm 127:2

The Blessing Of The Lord

¹ Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
² 
It is vain for you to rise early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of anxious labors—
For He gives [blessings] to His beloved even in his sleep. ³
Behold, children are a heritage and gift from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb a reward.

Bread of Sorrows

No

In sorrow and toil you shall eat [the fruit] of it
All the days of your life.
