Psalms 127:3 - John Wesley's Notes

Psalms 127:3

Laboring and Prospering with the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless ^athe Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To ^aeat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.

3 Behold, ^achildren are a heritage from the Lord,
^bThe fruit of the womb is a ^creward.

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

5 ^aHappy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
^bThey shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

Psalms 127:3

Children - The chief of these blessings. Heritage - Only from God's blessing, even as an inheritance is not the fruit of a man's own labour, but the gift of God.
