Psalm 72:11-20 Amplified Bible (AMP)

11. Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him, all nations shall serve Him. [Ps. 138:4.]

12. For He delivers the needy when he calls out, the poor also and him who has no helper.

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

14. He will redeem their lives from oppression and fraud and violence, and precious and costly shall their blood be in His sight.

15. And He shall live; and to Him shall be given gold of Sheba; prayer also shall be made for Him and through Him continually, and they shall bless and praise Him all the day long.

16. There shall be abundance of grain in the soil upon the top of the mountains [the least fruitful places in the land]; the fruit of it shall wave like [the forests of] Lebanon, and [the inhabitants of] the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17. His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun [indeed, His name continues before the sun]. And men shall be blessed and bless themselves by Him; all nations shall call Him blessed!

18. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone does wondrous things!

19. Blessed be His glorious name forever; let the whole earth be filled with His glory! Amen and Amen!

20. The prayers of David son of Jesse are ended.
