John Trapp on Psalms 127:2

Verſ. 2 It is vain for you to riſe up early] Di[illegible: 2 letters]culantes ſurgere, tardantes ſedere, to toil and moil in the World. It were to bee wiſhed, that this Niſi, niſi, fruſtrà, fruſtrà, were ever ſounding in the ears of worldings, who will needs act upon their own principles; God is not in all their thoughts.

To eat the bread of ſorrows] i.e. Hardly gotten, or that men can ſcarce beteem themſelves, they are ſo miſerable and parſimonious; or bread eaten with carefullneſſe, as Ezek. 12.19. certainly men may ſooner by their care adde a furlong to their ſorrow, than a cubit to their comfort.

For ſo hee giveth his beloved ſleep] Dilecto ſuo, to each of his beloved ones; not without an alluſion to Solomons other name, Jedid[illegible: 1 letter]ah, Gods darling. To theſe hee giveth ſleep, extraordinary quiet, refreſhing ſleep ([non-Latin text not transcribed] with an Aleph quieſcent, which is not uſuall) that is, hee giveth wealth without labour, as to others labour without wealth, ſaith Kimchi, the world comes tumbling in upon them, as wee ſay, they have it quaſi per ſomnium (as Towns were ſaid to come into Timoth[illegible: 1 letter]us his toiles whiles he ſlept) without anxiety, they break not their ſleep for the matter, Plut. Omnia neceſſaria benigniſſime Dominus quaſi per jocum largitur. Beza. but live by faith, and make a good living of it too.
