Psalm 72:12-20

New International Version

¹² For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
    the afflicted who have no one to help.
¹³ He will take pity^(A) on the weak and the needy
    and save the needy from death.
¹⁴ He will rescue^(B) them from oppression and violence,
    for precious^(C) is their blood in his sight.

¹⁵ Long may he live!
    May gold from Sheba^(D) be given him.
May people ever pray for him
    and bless him all day long.^(E)
16 May grain^(F) abound throughout the land;
    on the tops of the hills may it sway.
May the crops^(G) flourish like Lebanon^(H)
    and thrive^[a] like the grass of the field.^(I)
17 May his name endure forever;^(J)
    may it continue as long as the sun.^(K)

Then all nations will be blessed through him,^[b]
    and they will call him blessed.^(L)

¹⁸ Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel,^(M)
    who alone does marvelous deeds.^(N)
19 Praise be to his glorious name^(O) forever;
    may the whole earth be filled with his glory.^(P)
Amen and Amen.^(Q)

²⁰ This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.^(R)
