Psalm 127:2
“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.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 127Meaning
Early rising, late labor, and eating the bread of anxious toil describe exhausting self-reliance. The verse contrasts that anxiety with God’s care, not with healthy diligence.
God, work, and rest
Contrasts anxious striving with trustful reception of rest.
