Translation

in their youth./ Their daughters decked out: adorned/ in the likeness of a temple./ Their storehouses full: flowing out of this into that./ Their ewes pregnant with young rich in their going out:/ their oxen are sleek./ There is no collapsed wall nor passage:/ nor crying out in their streets./ They have said that it is a happy people which has these things:/ blessed is the people whose god is the lord./


Psalm 144: 1
[on book: I shall exalt you my god]

I WILL EXALT YOU/ my god the king and I will/ bless your name/ forever and forever and ever. Every day/ I will bless you:/ and will praise your name/ forever and forever and ever./ The lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy:/ and there is no end of his greatness./
