Psalm 144:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² When 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.
¹³ 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.
¹⁴ May our cows become fat.^[a]
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.
