3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. ERV — Psalm 127:3
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. ERV — Psalm 127:4
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, when they speak with their enemies in the gate. ERV — Psalm 127:5
