Psalms 72:16

Psa 72:16 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.

Ver. 16. There shall be an handful of corn, &c. ] i.e. The barren mountains shall yield grain abundantly, and by handfuls; as Egypt did in those seven years of plenty, Genesis 41:47 .

The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon ] The grain shall rattle and rustle, like the trees in Lebanon, shaken by the wind.

And they of the city shall flourish ] Men also shall increase and multiply, Jeremiah 31:27 , to a very great number, as piles of grass Christ’s subjects shall.
