Psalms 72:13-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. He will take pity on the helpless and needy, and the lives of the needy he will save.

14. From oppression and from violence he will redeem their lives, and their blood will be precious in his eyes.

15. So may he live, and may gold from Sheba be given to him, and may prayers be offered for him continually. May blessings be invoked for him all day long.

16. May there be an abundance of grain in the land even on the top of the mountains. May his crop sway like the trees of Lebanon, and may those from the city blossom like the grass of the earth.

17. May his name endure forever. May his name increase as long as the sun shines, and let them be blessed in him. Let all nations call him blessed.

18. Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does wonderful things.

19. And blessed be his glorious name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

20. The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are completed.
