Psalm 72:17

A Prayer For The King

¹⁶ May there be plenty of grain in the land;
may it wave on the tops of the mountains.
May its crops be like Lebanon.
May people flourish in the cities
like the grass of the field.
¹⁷ May his name endure forever;
as long as the sun shines,
may his fame increase.
May all nations be blessed by him
and call him blessed. ¹⁸ May the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who alone does wonders, be praised.
