16May there be plenty of corn in the land;
may the hills be covered with crops,
as fruitful as those of Lebanon.
May the cities be filled with people,
like fields full of grass.
17May the king’s name never be forgotten;
may his fame last as long as the sun.
May all nations ask God to bless them
as he has blessed the king.d
