Psalms 72:18
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.
17 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.
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.
20 Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
