Psalms 144:14

To labour, Heb. laden, either with flesh and fat, as many understand it; or, as others, with young: but then the foregoing word is not to be rendered oxen, but cows, as the same word and in the same masculine gender is used Deuteronomy 7:13. And so this agrees best with the former prayer for the sheep, Psalms 144:13, and he wisheth the same blessing of fruitfulness both for greater and smaller cattle. No breaking in, to wit, of enemies invading the land, or assaulting our cities, and making breaches in their walls. Nor going out, to wit, of our people; either out of the towns and cities, to fight with an invading enemy; or out of the land into captivity. No complaining; or, no outcry, or howling, for any sad tidings, or public grievances or calamities.
