Read Psalms chapter 127 (Contemporary English Version) on maBible, the Bible online. In this chapter: (A song by Solomon for worship.), Only the Lord Can Bless a Home.
1 Without the help of the Lord it is useless to build a home or to guard a city.
2 It is useless to get up early and stay up late in order to earn a living. God takes care of his own, even while they sleep.
3 Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.
4 Having a lot of children to take care of you in your old age is like a warrior with a lot of arrows.
5 The more you have, the better off you will be, because they will protect you when your enemies attack you in court.
