11 Won't you keep me safefrom those lying foreignerswho can't tell the truth?
12 Let's pray that our young sonswill grow like strong plantsand that our daughterswill be as lovely as columnsin the corner of a palace.
13 May our barns be filledwith all kinds of crops.May our fields be coveredwith sheep by the thousands,
14 and every cow have calves.Don't let our city be capturedor any of us be taken away,and don't let cries of sorrowbe heard in our streets.
15 Our Lord and our God,you give these blessingsto all who worship you.
