Psalm 127:3-5
New King James Version
3 Behold, (A)children are a heritage from the Lord,
(B)The fruit of the womb is a (C)reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 (D)Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
(E)They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 139:13-16
New King James Version
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You [a]covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for [b]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 (A)My [c]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
