Psalms 72:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.

13 He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.

14 He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.

15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.

16 May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
