15 Long live the king!
    May he be given gold from Sheba;[a]
    may prayers be said for him at all times;
    may God's blessings be on him always!
16 May there be plenty of grain in the land;
    may the hills be covered with crops,
    as fruitful as those of Lebanon.
May the cities be filled with people,
    like fields full of grass.
17 May the king's name never be forgotten;
    may his fame last as long as the sun.
May all nations ask God to bless them
    as he has blessed the king.[b]
