Psalms 72:12-20

¹²For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

¹³He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,

¹⁴From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.

¹⁵And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.

¹⁶There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.

¹⁷His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

¹⁸Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,

¹⁹And blessed is the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled with His honour. Amen, and amen!

²⁰The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
