Psalm 127:3 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 127.

1 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.

2 In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.

3 Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.

5 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.
