Context of Psalms 72:15

13He will be kind to people who are poor and weak. He will save them from death. 14He will rescue them from cruel people who hurt them. Their lives are important to him. Long live the king! May people come from Sheba to give gold to him. May people always pray for him. May people praise him all the time. 16May there always be plenty of grain that grows in the land. May the crops grow well on the tops of the mountains. May the fruit trees give a lot of fruit, as they do in Lebanon. May all the crops grow well, like grass that grows in a field. 17May the king be famous for ever! May people remember him for as long as the sun continues to shine. May people from all nations use his name when they bless one another. May they all say that God has blessed the king!
