Read in context

Psalms 144:12–15 · Berean Standard Bible

12 Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13 Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields.

14 Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.

15 Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
