Psalm 127:3-5 Print E-mail

[3] Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

[4] Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.

[5] Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
