Psalms 144:14 - Exposition

That our oxen may be strong to labor ; rather, and our oxen are heavily laden . A sign that an abundant harvest is being gathered in. That there be no breaking in, nor going out ; literally, and there is no breach and no removal ; i . e . no breach made in our walls, and no removal of our population into captivity. That there be no complaining in our streets ; rather, and no wailing in our streets . Here the description of a happy time ends, and a burst of congratulation follows (see the next verse).
