16 May grain(A) abound throughout the land;
    on the tops of the hills may it sway.
May the crops(B) flourish like Lebanon(C)
    and thrive[a] like the grass of the field.(D)
17 May his name endure forever;(E)
    may it continue as long as the sun.(F)

Then all nations will be blessed through him,[b]
    and they will call him blessed.(G)
