Psalms 144:12
v. 12-14: David prays for the nation’s prosperity and peace. He asks that their sons would be like strong, healthy plants, and their daughters like beautiful, polished pillars in a palace (Psalm 144:12 a). He wants their storehouses to be full, their sheep to multiply, and their oxen to be strong for work. He prays for peace—no enemy attacks, no going out to war, and no complaining in the streets. David knows that true happiness includes both material blessings and social harmony.
