Psalms 127:2 (KJ21)
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.
Psalms 127:2 (NAS)
It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.
Psalms 127:2 (NIVUS)
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Psalms 127:2 (NLT)
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.
Have you ever stayed up at night worrying about a situation? Did your worry change anything? Usually the only things that happen are that your stomach acids churn and you lose sleep. Your worry does not solve anything and, in fact, may cause more problems in the long run.
What does God's word tell you about this feeble human effort? It says that it is a destructive evil, which brings ruin and desolation. It is useless and vain. If you get up early or haunt your house at night with worry, you may find yourself in a tempest. This kind of storm only causes waste in your life.
The Lord also tells you that it is vain to let sorrow and grief consume you. You should not labor and toil over your pain and anger. If you constantly feed on this type of bread, you are worshiping your troubles instead of the Lord your God. You will displease Adonai and cause vexation for yourself.
You should rest in the fact that you are a beloved son of the Most High God. He boils over with love for you. In the midst of your troubles, the Lord God will give you healthy sleep. During the night, He will bring deliverance and restoration.
Therefore, cast your cares on Him. Give up your worry; then sing and worship God.
