Psalm 127:5

New English Translation

⁵How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.
They will not be put to shame^[a] when they confront^[b] enemies at the city gate.

Psalm 127:5 tn Being “put to shame” is here metonymic for being defeated, probably in a legal context, as the reference to the city gate suggests. One could be humiliated (Ps 69:12) or deprived of justice (Amos 5:12) at the gate, but with strong sons to defend the family interests this was less likely to happen.
Psalm 127:5 tn Heb “speak with.”
