Salmos 127:4

4 Los hijos que le nacen a un hombre joven
son como flechas en manos de un guerrero.

Salmos 127:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 127:4

As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man
Are shot out with great strength; come with much force, and do execution, and do not return in vain; with which men defend themselves, and annoy their enemies; see ( Jeremiah 50:9 ) ;

so [are] children of the youth:
not young children, or children in their youth; but such who are born to their parents when they are in their youth; and which are generally healthful and strong, and their parents live to see them grown up; and who are useful to protect them, and defend their persons and properties from enemies when grown old and feeble, and unable to defend themselves: whereas children born to them in old age are generally unhealthy and weak; and besides, their parents rarely live to see them brought up, or to be helpful to them. So Christ's spiritual seed and offspring, who are the dew of his youth, are strong, and overcome the evil one; and are serviceable in the defence of his cause and interest.

Salmos 127:4 In-Context

1 Salmo 127
Cántico para los peregrinos que suben a Jerusalén. Salmo de Salomón.
Si el Señor
no construye la casa,
el trabajo de los constructores es una pérdida de tiempo.
Si el Señor
no protege la ciudad,
protegerla con guardias no sirve para nada.

2 Es inútil que te esfuerces tanto,
desde la mañana temprano hasta tarde en la noche,
y te preocupes por conseguir alimento;
porque Dios da descanso a sus amados.

3 Los hijos son un regalo del Señor
;
son una recompensa de su parte.

4 Los hijos que le nacen a un hombre joven
son como flechas en manos de un guerrero.

5 ¡Qué feliz es el hombre que tiene su aljaba llena de ellos!
No pasará vergüenza cuando enfrente a sus acusadores en las puertas de la ciudad.
