Psalm 72:15-20

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Long live the king!
    May he be given gold from Sheba;^[a]
    may prayers be said for him at all times;
    may God's blessings be on him always!
¹⁶ May there be plenty of grain 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.
¹⁷ May 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.^[b]

¹⁸ Praise the Lord, the God of Israel!
He alone does these wonderful things.
¹⁹ Praise his glorious name forever!
May his glory fill the whole world.

Amen! Amen!

²⁰ This is the end of the prayers of David son of Jesse.
