He endows your realm with well-being, and satisfies you with choice wheat.Psalms 147:14 (The Israel Bible™)הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם חֵלֶב חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵךְHear the verse in Hebrewha-SAM g’-vu-LAYKH sha-LOM KHAY-lev khi-TEEM yas-bee-AYKH
The Source of Strength
While the Bible makes frequent mention of military affairs and speaks often of soldiers, the important principle that emerges is found in this verse: Ha–sam g’vulaych shalom (השם גבולך שלום). Translated here as ‘He endows your realm with well-being,’ these words literally mean ‘He who makes your borders peaceful.’ We must always remember that ultimately, our own efforts do not matter. Rather, Hashem (God) is behind all of our successes. Though the modern Israeli army is one of the strongest in the world, it continuously remembers the true source of its strength.
