Psalm 72:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 For he rescues the poor when they cry out,
the oppressed who have no one to help.
13 He shows pity to the needy and the poor(A)
and saves the lives of the poor.
14 From extortion and violence he redeems them,
for precious is their blood[a] in his sight.
