New American Standard Bible
Chapter 72
14He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight; 15So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And they are to pray for him continually; They are to bless him all day long. 16May there be abundance of grain on the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like the vegetation of the earth. 17May his name endure forever; May his name produce descendants as long as the sun shines; And may people wish blessings on themselves by him; May all nations call him blessed.King James Version

Chapter 72
14He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious in his sight. 15May he live long! May gold from Sheba be given to him. May prayer be offered for him continually, and may he be blessed all day long. 16May there be plenty of grain in the land; may it wave on the tops of the mountains. May its crops be like Lebanon. May people flourish in the cities like the grass of the field.New Living Translation
15Long live the king! May the gold of Sheba be given to him. May the people always pray for him and bless him all day long.
16May there be abundant grain throughout the land, flourishing even on the hilltops. May the fruit trees flourish like the trees of Lebanon, and may the people thrive like grass in a field.
17May the king’s name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun shines. May all nations be blessed through him and bring him praise.
