Psalm 72:17

A Prayer For The King

¹⁶
There will be an abundance of grain in the soil on the top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like [the cedars of] Lebanon,
And those of the city will flourish like grass of the earth.
¹⁷ 
May his name endure forever;
May his name continue as long as the sun;
And let men bless themselves by him;
Let all nations call him blessed. ¹⁸
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone does wonderful things.
