14 He will redeem them[a] from oppression and violence,
    since their lives are[b] precious in his sight.

Prayer for the King

15 May he live long and be given gold from Sheba,
    and may prayer be offered for him continuously,
        and may he be blessed every day.
16 May grain be abundant in the land
    all the way[c] to the mountain tops;
may its fruits flourish
    like the forests of Lebanon,
and may the cities sprout
    like the grass of the earth.
