and saves the lives of the needy.
14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
and precious is their blood in his sight.(B)

May gold of Sheba be given to him.
May prayer be made for him continually
and blessings invoked for him all day long.(C)

may it wave on the tops of the mountains;
may its fruit be like Lebanon;
and may people blossom in the cities
like the grass of the field.(D)

his fame continue as long as the sun.
May all nations be blessed in him;[a]
may they pronounce him happy.(E)
