Psalm 127:5
βHappy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. β
KJV
Read in Psalm 127Meaning
The full quiver and city-gate imagery reflects an ancient setting where adult sons could contribute to household standing and legal defense. The verse closes with public security, not with a command that every household maximize births.
Children as gift and strength
Concludes with family support pictured as public resilience.
