Psalms 144:12-15
(12) 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:
(13) That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
(14) 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.
(15) Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
144:12–15. Riddance from the wicked and the gracious presence of the Lord are sought with a special eye to the peace and prosperity which will follow thereupon. The sparing of David’s life would mean the peace and happiness of a whole nation. We can scarcely judge how much of happiness may hang upon the Lord’s favor to one person.
