Context of Psalms 144:13

11Keep me safe from the power of foreign people. They speak lies. Even when they make a promise, it is false. 12When our sons are young, may they grow quickly, like strong plants. May our daughters become tall and beautiful, like the beautiful pillars in a king's house. May our homes have plenty of different kinds of food. May our sheep have thousands of lambs, so that there is no space in our fields. 14May our cows become fat. I pray that our enemies will never knock down our city's walls. I pray that none of us will become their prisoners. I pray that nobody will cry in our city's streets because they are afraid. 15When God does that for a nation, he has surely blessed those people! If people know that the Lord is their God, then God has blessed them!
