Psalms 72:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

17 May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.

18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
