Context of Psalms 72:15

13He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the lives of the needy. 14He will redeem their life from oppression and fraud and violence, And their blood will be precious in His sight. So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless and praise him all day long. 16There will be an abundance of grain in the soil on the top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like [the cedars of] Lebanon, And those of the city will flourish like grass of the earth. 17May his name endure forever; May his name continue as long as the sun; And let men bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed.
