Psalms 127:2-5 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

2. It is vain for you that ye rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of toil: for so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.

3. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

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.
