The Lord Will

Psalm 127:3

β€œLo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 127

Meaning

The psalm turns from labor and security to family, calling children a heritage and reward. The language celebrates gift; it does not establish a hierarchy between parents and non-parents.

Children as gift and strength

Introduces children as received gift rather than self-made achievement.
