Psalms 72:17

Praise and worshipIdentity and self-worth

15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.

16 May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.

May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.

18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

19 And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
