Psalms 127:5

Context

127:5 How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!

They will not be put to shame 1  when they confront 2  enemies at the city gate.

1 tn Being “put to shame” is here metonymic for being defeated, probably in a legal context, as the reference to the city gate suggests. One could be humiliated (Ps 69:12) or deprived of justice (Amos 5:12) at the gate, but with strong sons to defend the family interests this was less likely to happen.

2 tn Heb “speak with.”
