To give context to this passage, let us first look at Psalm 127:1
"If the LORD does not build the house, the work of the builders is useless"
This clearly states that your hard work is in vain unless it is blessed by the Lord.
Now we look at verse 2 which says
"It is useless to work so hard for a living, getting up early and going to bed late. For the LORD provides for those he loves, while they are asleep".
Having understood the context that comes before this passage, what this verse is clearly talking about is that peace and prosperity comes to those who trust in God and not in their own hardwork.
You may want to counter this and say, but we have wicked people who do not believe in God and they are also successful. Even Jeremiah in Jeremiah 12:1 asked this same question.
Psalm 73 also addressed this question and lets us know that the prosperity of the wicked is temporary, they may gain the whole world and still lose their soul.
