15. Long live the king!May the gold of Sheba be given to him.May the people always pray for himand bless him all day long.
16. May there be abundant grain throughout the land,flourishing even on the hilltops.May the fruit trees flourish like the trees of Lebanon,and may the people thrive like grass in a field.
17. May the king’s name endure forever;may it continue as long as the sun shines.May all nations be blessed through himand bring him praise.
18. Praise the lord God, the God of Israel,who alone does such wonderful things.
19. Praise his glorious name forever!Let the whole earth be filled with his glory.Amen and amen!
20. (This ends the prayers of David son of Jesse.)
