Psalms 144:12 in Context — Psalms 144

10 Tú, el que da salud á los reyes, el que redime á David su siervo de maligna espada.

11 Redímeme, y sálvame de mano de los hijos extraños, cuya boca habla vanidad, y su diestra es diestra de mentira.

12 Que nuestros hijos sean como plantas crecidas en su juventud; nuestras hijas como las esquinas labradas á manera de [las de] un palacio;

13 Nuestros graneros llenos, provistos de toda suerte [de grano]; nuestros ganados, que paran á millares y diez millares en nuestras plazas:

14 [Que] nuestros bueyes estén fuertes para el trabajo; [que] no [tengamos] asalto, ni [que hacer] salida, ni grito de alarma en nuestras plazas.
