Psalm 127:1-5 NET

[1] If the LORD does not build a house, then those who build it work in vain. If the LORD does not guard a city, then the watchman stands guard in vain. [2] It is vain for you to rise early, come home late, and work so hard for your food. Yes, he provides for those whom he loves even when they sleep. [3] Yes, sons are a gift from the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward. [4] Sons born during one's youth are like arrows in a warrior's hand. [5] How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them. They will not be put to shame when they confront enemies at the city gate.
