Psalm 127:1-5 NIV

[1] Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. [2] In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves. [3] Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. [4] Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. [5] Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
