Psalm 72:17

A Prayer For The King

¹⁶ May there be wide-stretching fields of grain in the land, shaking on the top of the mountains, full of fruit like Lebanon: may its stems be unnumbered like the grass of the earth. ¹⁷ May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name. ¹⁸ Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.
