Psalms 144:12

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

KJV

ut notam faciant filiis hominum potentiam tuam, et gloriam magnificentiæ regni tui.

Vulgate

τοῦ γνωρίσαι τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὴν δυναστείαν σου καὶ τὴν δόξαν τῆς μεγαλοπρεπείας τῆς βασιλείας σου.

LXX

When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

ASV
