Psalms 127:3


← Psalms 127:2 Psalms 127:3 (KJV) Psalms 127:4 →
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
