Psalm 127:3 - Children are a gift of the LORD

NIV Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.
KJV Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
NASB Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Psalm 127:3

Commentary

The Hebrews regarded children as a blessing from the Lord (see Gen. 13:16; Ruth 4:13-16; 1 Sam. 1:11). They are a reward and heritage, bringing joy to their parents. Rearing a child is a sacred responsibility, and parents must depend on the Lord to help them guide their children.

Did you know?

The rabbis of old declared that a child has three parents: God, his father, and his mother (cf. Gen. 20:17, 18; 30:1, 2). Parents, then, are held accountable unto God for their stewardship of parenthood.
