Psalms 72:10-17

10May the kings from Tarshish and the islands bring presents. May the kings from Sheba and Seba bring gifts.

11May all kings worship him. May all nations serve him.

12He will rescue the needy person who cries for help and the oppressed person who has no one’s help.

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

14He will rescue them from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.

15May he live long. May the gold from Sheba be given to him. May ⌞the people⌟ pray for him continually. May ⌞they⌟ praise him all day long.

16May there be plenty of grain in the land. May it wave ⌞in the breeze⌟ on the mountaintops, its fruit like ⌞the treetops of⌟ Lebanon. May those from the city flourish like the grass on the ground.

17May his name endure forever. May his name continue as long as the sun ⌞shines⌟. May all nations be blessed through him and call him blessed.
