Psalms 127:4 Context
2It is vaine for you to rise vp early, to sit vp late, to eate the bread of sorrowes: for so hee giueth his beloued sleepe. 3Loe, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the wombe is his reward. 4As arrowes are in the hand of a mightie man: so are children of the youth. 5Happie is the man that hath his quiuer full of them, they shall not be ashamed: but they shall speake with the enemies in the gate.
