3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Matthew Henry's Psalms Chapter 127 Bible commentary...
The value of the Divine blessing.
- Let us always look to God's providence. In all the affairs and business of a family we must depend upon his blessing. 1. For raising a family. If God be not acknowledged, we have no reason to expect his blessing; and the best-laid plans fail, unless he crowns them with success. 2. For the safety of a family or a city. Except the Lord keep the city, the watchmen, though they neither slumber nor sleep, wake but in vain; mischief may break out, which even early discoveries may not be able to prevent. 3. For enriching a family. Some are so eager upon the world, that they are continually full of care, which makes their comforts bitter, and their lives a burden. All this is to get money; but all in vain, except God prosper them: while those who love the Lord, using due diligence in their lawful callings, and casting all their care upon him, have needful success, without uneasiness or vexation. Our care must be to keep ourselves in the love of God; then we may be easy, whether we have little or much of this world. But we must use the proper means very diligently. Children are God's gifts, a heritage, and a reward; and are to be accounted blessings, and not burdens: he who sends mouths, will send meat, if we trust in him. They are a great support and defence to a family. Children who are young, may be directed aright to the mark, God's glory, and the service of their generation; but when they are gone into the world, they are arrows out of the hand, it is too late to direct them then. But these arrows in the hand too often prove arrows in the heart, a grief to godly parents. Yet, if trained according to God's word, they generally prove the best defence in declining years, remembering their obligations to their parents, and taking care of them in old age. All earthly comforts are uncertain, but the Lord will assuredly comfort and bless those who serve him; and those who seek the conversion of sinners, will find that their spiritual children are their joy and crown in the day of Jesus Christ.

This Chapter let's us know that we gain strength from one another and that we should come together in Unity, The Bible tells us that one can put ten thousand to flight and two ten thousand think of how many ie 10 or more come together even think of this, the whole church.

This Scripture is dedicated to the servants of the Lord, so they will understand where their help comes from and where to go to find it.
Unonymous's Psalms Chapter 127 comment about verse 3 on 4/19/2013, 5:15am...
These words are like new, fresh and out of the box. I'm at ease by just reading them over and over, because I come from a situation where my sons were born out of wedlock and was beating myself up; as I raise them daily I always ask God why are they 2, how will i manage with everything. But these word are like holding my sore heart with comfort, they take the pain away and they make me strong ang grateful to God always. Thank you

Excellent, The book of Psalms brings joy, gladness, inspiration and blessings. Words cannot express the excellency of the book of Psalms. I can almost feel David's expressions! Simply one of the greatest books!!!

As old-fashioned as the language is, and obscure in today's world, King David is describing functions of DNA without knowing what to call the substance! Not a scientist, or even a doctor, he had to be inspired to know that basic truth...
