Footnotes

  1. 28 The Hebrew noun occurs only here.
  2. 29 Heb “from kind to kind.” Some prefer to emend the text to מָזוֹן עַל מָזוֹן (mazon ’al mazon, “food upon food”).
  3. 30 Heb “they are innumerable.”
  4. 31 Heb “in outside places.” Here the term refers to pastures and fields (see Job 5:10; Prov 8:26).
  5. 32 Heb “weighted down.” This probably refers (1) to the cattle having the produce from the harvest placed on their backs to be transported to the storehouses (see 687 סָבַל). Other options are (2) to take this as reference to the cattle being pregnant (see סבל pu) or (3) to their being well-fed or fattened (see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101–150 [], ).
  6. 33 Heb “there [will be] no breach, and there [will be] no going out, and there [will be] no crying out in our broad places.”
  7. 34 Heb “[O] the happiness of the people who [it is] such to them.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

may our granaries be full,

providing all kinds of produce;

may our sheep bring forth thousands

and ten thousands in our fields;

may our cattle be heavy with young,

suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;

may there be no cry of distress in our streets!

Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!

Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Our barns will be filled

with every kind of provision.

Our sheep will increase by thousands,

by tens of thousands in our fields;

our oxen will draw heavy loads.

There will be no breaching of walls,

no going into captivity,

no cry of distress in our streets.

Blessed is the people of whom this is true;

blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Our storehouses will be full,

supplying all kinds of produce;

our flocks will increase by thousands

and tens of thousands in our open fields.

Our cattle will be well fed.

There will be no breach in the walls,

no going into captivity,

and no cry of lament in our public squares.

Happy are the people with such blessings.

Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.

NLTNew Living Translation

May our barns be filled

with crops of every kind.

May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands,

even tens of thousands,

and may our oxen be loaded down with produce.

May there be no enemy breaking through our walls,

no going into captivity,

no cries of alarm in our town squares.

Yes, joyful are those who live like this!

Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

that our granaries may be full,

providing produce of all kinds,

that our sheep may produce by the thousands,

by the tens of thousands in our open fields,

that our cattle may be pregnant;

that there be no breach in our walls,

and no going out in exile,

and no outcry in our plazas.

Blessed are the people who have it thus.

Blessed are the people whose God is Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version

That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store:

That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands 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.

Happy is that people, that is in such a case:

Yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
