Psal Rotherha 72:16  May there be an abundance of corn in the earth, in the top of the mountains,—Let the fruit thereof, wave like Lebanon, And they of the city bloom like the fresh shoots of the earth.
Psal Rotherha 72:17  May his Name be age-abiding, In the presence of the sun, let his Name flourish,—And may all the families of the ground bless themselves in him, All nations, pronounce him happy!
Psal Rotherha 72:18  Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel,—Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone;
Psal Rotherha 72:19  And blessed be his glorious Name, unto times age-abiding,—And filled with his glory be all the earth, Amen and Amen!
