Psalm 144:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 May our barns be filled
with every kind of crop.
May our sheep increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields,[a]
14 and may our cattle be well fed.[b]
May there be no breach in our walls,
no going into exile,
no cries of distress in our streets.
15 Blessed are the people for whom this is true;
blessed[c] are the people whose God is the Lord.
