Psalm 72:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 An handful of corn shall be sown in the earth, even in the top of the mountains, and the [a]fruit thereof shalt shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall flourish out of the city like the grass of the earth.
17 His name shall be forever: his name shall endure as long as the Sun: all nations shall bless [b]him, and be blessed in him.
18 Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel which only doeth [c]wondrous things.
