When our sons in their youth are like growing plants, And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace,

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

Our granaries are full, providing every kind of produce, And our flocks deliver thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

May our cattle be bred Without mishap and without loss, May there be no outcry in our streets!

That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

Blessed are the people who are so situated; Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord .
