Psalm 127:3-5

Modern English Version

³ Look, children are a gift of the Lord,
    and the fruit of the womb is a reward.
⁴ As arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior,
    so are the children of one’s youth.
⁵ Happy is the man
    who has his quiver full of them;
he shall not be ashamed
    when he speaks with the enemies at the gate.
