12. For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save.
14. He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
15. So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless him all day long.
16. May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth.
17. May his name endure forever; May his name increase as long as the sun shines; And let men bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed.
18. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.
19. And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
20. The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
