Psalms 72:10-17
101Let the kings of 2Tarshish and of the 34islands bring presents; The kings of 5Sheba and 6Seba 7offer 8gifts.119And let all 10kings bow down before him, All 11nations serve him.
12For he will 12deliver the needy when he cries for help, The 13afflicted also, and him who has no helper.13He will have 14compassion on the poor and needy, And the 15lives of the needy he will save.14He will 1617rescue their 18life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be 19precious in his sight;15So may he live, and may the 20gold of Sheba be given to him; And let 21them pray for him continually; Let 22them bless him all day long.
16May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of 23Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like 24vegetation of the earth.17May his 25name endure forever; May his name 26increase 2728as long as the sun shines; And let men 29bless themselves by him; 30Let all nations call him blessed.
