143:12. Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters
decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:
143:13. Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their
sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:
143:14. Their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor
crying out in their streets.
143:15. They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but
happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
