16 May there be plenty of grain in the land.
    May it wave in the breeze on the mountaintops,
    its fruit like the treetops of Lebanon.
    May those from the city flourish like the grass on the ground.
17 May his name endure forever.
    May his name continue as long as the sun shines.
    May all nations be blessed through him and call him blessed.

18 Thank Yahweh Elohim, the Elohim of Israel,
    who alone does miracles.
