And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

13 When our garners are full, affording all manner of store,

And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord.

12 Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants,

And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;

13 Let our garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce,

And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

14 Let our cattle bear

Without mishap and without loss,

Let there be no outcry in our streets!

15 How blessed are the people who are so situated;

How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
