Berean Standard Bible

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

Psalms 127:3

Save as image

Study note

After warning against building without God and working anxiously, Psalm 127 turns to family. In ancient Israel, the family house and the family line were closely connected, and the Hebrew words for son and build sound alike.
