Psalms 144:12 in Context — Psalms 144
10 [Tu és] o que dás vitória aos reis, [e] livras a Davi, teu servo, da espada maligna.
11 Livra-me e resgata-me das mãos dos filhos de estrangeiros; cuja boca fala mentiras, e sua mão direita é mão direita de falsidade.
12 Para que nossos filhos [sejam] como plantas, que crescem em sua juventude; [e] nossas filhas [sejam] como esquinas entalhadas ao modo do palácio.
13 Nossos celeiros sejam cheios de todos os tipos de mantimentos; nosso gado seja aos milhares, e dezenas de milhares em nossos campos.
14 Nossos bois sejam vigorosos; não haja nem assalto, nem fugas, nem gritos em nossas ruas.
