13May our sons be like plants well nurtured from their youth, *
and our daughters like sculptured corners of a palace.
14May our barns be filled to overflowing with all manner of crops; *
may the flocks in our pastures increase by thousands and tens of thousands;
may our cattle be fat and sleek.
15May there be no breaching of the walls, no going into exile, *
no wailing in the public squares.
16Happy are the people of whom this is so! *
happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
145Exaltabo te, Deus
1I will exalt you, O God my King, *
and bless your Name for ever and ever.
2Every day will I bless you *
and praise your Name for ever and ever.
3Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; *
there is no end to his greatness.
4One generation shall praise your works to another *
and shall declare your power.
5I will ponder the glorious splendor of your majesty *
and all your marvelous works.
6They shall speak of the might of your wondrous acts, *
and I will tell of your greatness.
7They shall publish the remembrance of your great goodness; *
they shall sing of your righteous deeds.
Psalm 145801
