Psalms 127
Children Are a Heritage from the LORD
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat — for He gives sleep to His beloved.2Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
3Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.
4Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
