Psalm 72:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version

14 From oppression and violence he will redeem their lives,
because their blood is precious in his sight.

A Prayer for His Blessings

15 May the King live![a]
May gold from Sheba be offered to him.
May people always pray for him.
May they bless him all day long.
16 Let there be an abundance of grain in the land.
Let it wave on the top of the mountains.
Let its fruit trees be like the cedars of Lebanon.[b]
Let people from the city flourish like the grass of the land.
