Psalms 127:4

2 In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat— for He gives sleep to His beloved.

3 Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.

5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
