INTERPRETATION IMAGERY
Children are like arrows in a quiver
No God like Jehovah
Psalm 27: Psa 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: Psa 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psa 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Psa 127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
