Psalm 72:11-19
New American Standard Bible
12 For he will (C)save the needy when he cries for help,
The [b]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13 He will have (D)compassion on the poor and needy,
And he will save the [c]lives of the needy.
14 He will [d](E)rescue their [e]life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be (F)precious in his sight;
15 So may he live, and may the (G)gold of Sheba be given to him;
And [f]they are to pray for him continually;
[g]They are to bless him all day long.
16 May there be abundance of grain on the earth on top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like the cedars of (H)Lebanon;
And may those from the city flourish like the (I)vegetation of the earth.
17 May his (J)name endure forever;
May his name produce descendants [h](K)as long as the sun shines;
And may people (L)wish blessings on themselves by him;
(M)May all nations call him blessed.
18 (N)Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone (O)works wonders.
19 And blessed be His (P)glorious name forever;
And may the whole (Q)earth be filled with His glory.
(R)Amen and Amen.
