Psalm 144:12-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
III
12 May our sons be like plants(A)
well nurtured from their youth,
Our daughters, like carved columns,
shapely as those of the temple.
13 May our barns be full
with every kind of store.
May our sheep increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
may our oxen be well fattened.
14 May there be no breach in the walls,
no exile, no outcry in our streets.(B)
15 Blessed the people so fortunate;
blessed the people whose God is the Lord.(C)
Psalm 144:12-15
New International Version
12 Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,(A)
and our daughters will be like pillars(B)
carved to adorn a palace.
13 Our barns will be filled(C)
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
14 our oxen(D) will draw heavy loads.[a]
There will be no breaching of walls,(E)
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.(F)
15 Blessed is the people(G) of whom this is true;
blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
