1. Children Are a Heritage from the LORD

If Yahweh does not watch a city,{ in} vain the watchman has stayed awake.BSBBSB: A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.
3. 2ULT{ It is} vain for you, the ones rising early to get up, the ones being late to sit down, the ones eating the bread of toils; certainly he gives to his beloved one sleep.BSBBSB: In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.
4. 3ULTBehold, the inheritance of Yahweh{ is} sons; a reward{ is} the fruit of the womb.BSBBSB: Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
5. 4ULTLike arrows in the hand of a warrior, thus{ are} the sons of the youth.BSBBSB: Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.
6. 5ULTThe happinesses of the man who has filled his quiver of them! They will not have shame when they speak with adversaries in the gate.BSBBSB: 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.
