King James Version
"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:"
— Psalms 144:12, King James Version
“ When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace; ”
“Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.”
“Then our sons will be like plants, that quickly grow to full size. Our daughters will be like corner pillars, carved like those in a palace.”
“To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.”
“Our sons are like tall young plants; and our daughters like the shining stones of a king's house;”
“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:”
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
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:
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.
