Psalms 144:12-15

12May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace.

13May our barns be filled with crops of every kind. May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands, even tens of thousands,

14and may our oxen be loaded down with produce. May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares.

15Yes, joyful are those who live like this! Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.
