Salmos 144:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 144:13

[That] our garners [may be] full, affording all manner of
store
Or "our corners" ^F19, the corners of their houses, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi; the nooks that were in them might be full of provisions for the supply of the family; or that their barns and granaries might be full of all kind of corn, as wheat, rye, barley which might be sufficient from year to year, as the Targum; plenty of all food is intended, in opposition to a scarcity, dearth, and famine, ( Proverbs 3:9 Proverbs 3:10 ) ( Joel 1:17 ) ; that so there might be enough for increasing families. Spiritually it may design that large provision of grace in the churches of Christ, and the fulness of the blessings of the Gospel the ministers of it come forth with, bringing out of their treasure things new and old, in the ministration of the word and administration of ordinances; [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our
streets;
or millions; in which lay the riches of men formerly, and indeed in our nation now, where wool is the staple commodity of it; and these are creatures that breed and increase much; when they stand well, a few soon become a thousand, and these thousands produce ten thousands or millions, more. The Hebrew word (Nau) , "sheep", seems to be derived from the Arabic word "tzana", which signifies to be "fruitful", whether in men or beasts: "tzana": "foecunda fuit, et multos liberos hubuit mulier-----idem significat, et multa habuit pecora", Golius, col. 1428; and though for the most part they bring but one at a time, yet Aristotle

FOOTNOTES:

F20 says, sometimes two, three, and four; and in India, Aelianus ^F21 says, they bring four, and never less than three. It is a beautiful sight to see them driven in such numbers through the streets of cities to markets, or to pasture. Or rather this may design the country towns and villages, where large flocks of them are kept. The people of God resemble these in their meekness, harmlessness, innocence, and other things; and who not only increase in grace and gifts, and spiritual knowledge, and in all goodness, which is desirable, but also in numbers, as they did in the first times of the Gospel, and will in the last, when they shall be increased as a flock; the fulness of the Gentiles, the other sheep, shall be brought in, and the nation of the Jews called at once.

Salmos 144:13 In-Context

11 Redímeme, y sálvame de mano de los hijos extraños, cuya boca habla vanidad, y su diestra es diestra de mentira.

12 Que nuestros hijos sean como plantas crecidas en su juventud; nuestras hijas como las esquinas labradas a manera de las de un palacio;

13 nuestros graneros llenos, provistos de toda suerte de grano ; nuestros ganados, que paran a millares y diez millares en nuestras plazas;

14 que nuestros bueyes estén fuertes para el trabajo; que no tengamos asalto, ni que hacer salida, ni grito de alarma en nuestras plazas.

15 Bienaventurado el pueblo que tiene esto; bienaventurado el pueblo cuyo Dios es el SEÑOR.
