12 For he will
deliver the needy who cry out,
the afflicted who have no one to
help.
13 He will take pity on the weak and the
needy
and save the needy from death.
14 He will rescue them from oppression
and violence,
for precious is their blood in his
sight.
15 Long may he
live!
May gold from Sheba be given
him.
May people ever pray for him
and bless him all day long.
16 May grain abound throughout the
land;
on the tops of the hills may it
sway.
May the crops flourish like
Lebanon
and thrive[a] like
the grass of the field.
17 May his name endure forever;
may it continue as long as the
sun.
Then all nations will
be blessed through him,[b]
and they will call him blessed.
18 Praise be to
the Lord God, the God of
Israel,
who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Praise be to his glorious
name forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his
glory.
Amen and
Amen.
20 This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.
