v.12-15 <br />L. M. <br />Grace above riches; or, The happy nation. <br /> <br />Happy the city where their sons, <br />Like pillars round a palace set, <br />And daughters, bright as polished stones, <br />Give strength and beauty to the state. <br /> <br />Happy the country where the sheep, <br />Cattle, and corn, have large increase; <br />Where men securely work or sleep, <br />Nor sons of plunder break the peace. <br /> <br />Happy the nation thus endowed, <br />But more divinely blest are those <br />On whom the all-sufficient God <br />Himself with all his grace bestows.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-144-part-3/
