12 <V 143:12>Their sons are like new plantings in their youth. Their daughters are dressed up: adorned all around like the idols of a temple.

13 <V 143:13>Their cupboards are full: overflowing from one thing into another. Their sheep bear young, brought forth in abundance. may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields;
14 <V 143:14>Their cattle are fat. There is no ruined wall or passage, nor anyone crying out in their streets. may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; may there be no cry of distress in our streets! our oxen will draw heavy loads. There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets.
15 <V 143:15>They have called the people that has these things: blessed. But blessed is the people whose God is the Lord. Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD! Blessed is the people of whom this is true; blessed is the people whose God is the LORD.
