Psalm 144:13-15
The Message
12-14 Make our sons in their prime
like sturdy oak trees,
Our daughters as shapely and bright
as fields of wildflowers.
Fill our barns with great harvest,
fill our fields with huge flocks;
Protect us from invasion and exile—
eliminate the crime in our streets.
15 How blessed the people who have all this!
How blessed the people who have God for God!
Psalm 144:13-15
New International Version
13 Our barns will be filled(A)
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
14 our oxen(B) will draw heavy loads.[a]
There will be no breaching of walls,(C)
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.(D)
15 Blessed is the people(E) of whom this is true;
blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
