Psalm 144:14

A King's Prayer

¹³ Let our garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce,
And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

Without mishap and without loss,
Let there be no outcry in our streets!
¹⁵ How blessed are the people who are so situated;
How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
