Psalm 72:16
New Catholic Bible
16 May grain abound throughout the land,
even growing abundantly on the mountain tops.
May its crops[a] be as plenteous as those of Lebanon,
and may its people flourish like the grass of the field.
Footnotes
- Psalm 72:16 Fertility of the land was one of the blessings of the Messianic age (see Hos 14:6f; Am 9:13). May its crops . . . Lebanon: may its crops possess the same vital power that the majestic cedars of Lebanon display.
