Psalm 72:17

A Prayer For The King

¹⁶ May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may people blossom in the cities like the grass of the field! ¹⁷ May his name endure forever;
May his name increase as long as the sun shines;
And let men bless themselves by him;
Let all nations call him blessed.
¹⁸ Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
