Psalm 72:16-18
New American Standard Bible

16 May there be abundance of grain on the earth on top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like the cedars of (A)Lebanon;
And may those from the city flourish like the (B)vegetation of the earth.
17 May his (C)name endure forever;
May his name produce descendants [a](D)as long as the sun shines;
And may people (E)wish blessings on themselves by him;
(F)May all nations call him blessed.

18 (G)Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone (H)works wonders.
