Psalm 127:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ Children are a gift^[a] from the Lord,
    a reward from a mother’s womb.
⁴ A young man’s sons
    are like the arrows in a soldier’s hand.
⁵ The man who fills his quiver with sons
    will be very blessed.
He will never be defeated
    when he opposes his enemy at the city gates.^[b]
