Psalm 72:10-20
Legacy Standard Bible
10 [a]Let the kings of (A)Tarshish and of the (B)coastlands bring a present;
The kings of (C)Sheba and (D)Seba (E)offer tribute.
11 [b]And let all (F)kings bow down to him,
All (G)nations serve him.
12 For he will (H)deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The [c]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13 He will have (I)compassion on the poor and needy,
And the [d]lives of the needy he will save.
14 He will (J)redeem their [e]life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be (K)precious in his sight;
15 So may he live! And may they give to him the (L)gold of Sheba;
And let each pray for him continually;
Let each bless him all day long.
16 May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains;
May its fruit wave like the cedars of (M)Lebanon;
And may those from the city blossom like (N)vegetation of the earth.
17 May his (O)name endure forever;
May his name [f]increase [g](P)as long as the sun shines;
Let all nations [h](Q)be blessed in him;
(R)Let all nations call him blessed.
18 (S)Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel,
Who alone (T)works wondrous deeds.
19 And blessed be His (U)glorious name forever;
And may the whole (V)earth be filled with His glory.
(W)Amen, and Amen.
20 [i]The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are completed.
