There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 72 of Psalms. Psalm 72 is a prayer for the ideal king, characterized by justice, defense of the poor, and abundance for the people. The well-being of the kingdom is measured especially by how the needy are treated and by the ruler’s ability to combat oppression. The horizon becomes universal when nations and kings recognize his authority. The conclusion attributes marvelous works exclusively to the God of Israel and closes the second book of the Psalter.

Auf Erden, oben auf den Bergen, wird das Getreide dick stehen; seine Frucht wird rauschen wie der Libanon, und sie werden grünen wie das Gras auf Erden.
Será echado un puño de grano en tierra, en las cumbres de los montes; Su fruto hará ruido como el Líbano, Y los de la ciudad florecerán como la hierba de la tierra.
Que haya abundancia de grano en la tierra, aun en las cumbres de las montañas; que su fruto se meza como el Líbano, y los habitantes de las ciudades florezcan como la hierba del campo.
Les blés abonderont dans le pays, au sommet des montagnes, Et leurs épis s'agiteront comme les arbres du Liban; Les hommes fleuriront dans les villes comme l'herbe de la terre.
Essendo seminata in terra, sulla sommità de’ monti, pure una menata di frumento, Quello ch’essa produrrà farà romore come il Libano; E gli abitanti delle città fioriranno come l’erba della terra.
Haverá um punhado de trigo na terra sobre as cabeças dos montes; o seu fruto se moverá como o Líbano, e os da cidade florescerão como a erva da terra.
在地的山頂上,願五穀茂盛, 所結的穀實響動,如 黎巴嫩 的樹林; 願城裏的人興旺,如地上的草。
