Psalms Chapter 127 (New International Version)
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain. 2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children 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 opponents in court.
