New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars,
cut for the building of a palace.(A)
13 May our barns be filled
with produce of every kind;
may our sheep increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields,
14 and may our cattle be heavy with young.
May there be no breach in the walls,[a] no exile,
and no cry of distress in our streets.
15 Happy are the people to whom such blessings fall;
happy are the people whose God is the Lord.(B)
