    his years for many generations.^(B)

⁴ He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(A) to crush^(B) him and cause him to suffer,^(C)

he will see his offspring^(E) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(F) in his hand.

³⁶ that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;^(A)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.”^(B)

¹⁵ Long may he live!
    May gold from Sheba^(A) be given him.
May people ever pray for him
    and bless him all day long.^(B)
16 May grain^(C) abound throughout the land;
    on the tops of the hills may it sway.
May the crops^(D) flourish like Lebanon^(E)
    and thrive^[a] like the grass of the field.^(F)
17 May his name endure forever;^(G)
    may it continue as long as the sun.^(H)

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