Psalms 72:14-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. He will redeem them from oppression and violence,for their lives are precious in his sight.

15. May he live long!May gold from Sheba be given to him.May prayer be offered for him continually,and may he be blessed all day long.

16. May there be plenty of grain in the land;may it wave on the tops of the mountains.May its crops be like Lebanon.May people flourish in the citieslike the grass of the field.

17. May his name endure forever;as long as the sun shines,may his fame increase.May all nations be blessed by himand call him blessed.

18. May the Lord God, the God of Israel,who alone does wonders, be praised.

19. May His glorious name be praised forever;the whole earth is filled with His glory. Amen and amen.

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