Psalm 72:15-17 Part 1 of 2

Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long. May grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. May the crops flourish like Lebanon and thrive like the grass of the field. May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. Then all the nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed. 

May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long

May grain abound throughout the land 
Genesis 27:28  "May God give you heaven's dew and earth's richness--an abundance of grain and new wine."
Psalm 4:7  Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound.

may the crops flourish

Ezekiel 34:27  " 'The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land. They will know that I am the LORD, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them.' "

like Lebanon 
Psalm 92:12  The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; ...
Psalm 104:16  The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

and thrive like the grass of the field 
Isaiah 44:4  "They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams."
Isaiah 58:11  "The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."
Isaiah 66:14  When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes.
