Children Are a Heritage from the LORD
Psalm subtitle:A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
Verse1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.
Verse2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat— for He gives sleep to His beloved.
Verse3Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
Verse4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.
Verse5Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
