Psalms 127:5

Parents and childrenJoy

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

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

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.
